Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360 Plagued with Server Issues

4
Servers have been up and down all night on the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3.

The game launched in North America yesterday, but despite a beta test which publisher EA says was downloaded 9.5 million times on all platforms, it appears players have been struggling to get into multiplayer games.

Despite the offical Battlefield Twitter account declaring the problems resolved six hours ago, gamers continue to report problems on Twitter and forums. Some users are also struggling with the Battlelog service.

The most recent official update says maintenance is ongoing, and that servers should be back online shortly. Battlefield 3 will be released in Europe for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 on Friday.

Forensics Well, this isn't shocking. I had my doubts about BF3. Well atleast the the BF3 fanboys can stop the trash talking. Return BF3 while you can.

A few server problems for half an hour are a LOT better than playing with hackers, modders, and glitchers etc.
Dedicated Servers > CoD Servers

Servers that never go down (COD) > Servers that fail every 20 minutes (BF3)

COD = P2P Server (Meaning Lagswitches, host advantage, Modified Ranks)
BF3 = Dedicated (Servers going down Because of overload)


How many players will lose interest in BF3 after a month? I can say 65% or more. How about Mw3? 15$ or less. What game will be the most played BF3 or Mw3? Of course Mw3. When people talk about games, what games do they talk about, BF3 or Mw3? Well , Mw3. Do you think that Mw3 will be hacked up? I say no, As long as IW enforces bans, suspensions, fix the glitches and be as strict as Treyarch was.
How about BF3? BF3 beta was glitch and the game full game still has problems. Why do you say BF3 still has problems? Well because the stabbing is fake and the killings. My bullets couldn't even kill my enemy. The only way to fix this problem is to install the game to the HDD of the xbox360. Do you think their'll be a problem similar to Mw3? No, here's why. IW has so many experience making a good game. Dice doesn't at all. Dice doesn't know how to make shooting games. Ea needs to just stick to sports. The launch of BF3 was a shame.

You guys just want excuses to say BF3 sucks, hop off the band wagon already, and woohoo for mw3 having more preordrs, aha. The first 2-3 days the mw3 servers are gonna be garbo

Rozy Severs never go down on Cod. Sorry BF3 fanboys.

Well in BF3 there are no modded ranks, lagswitches, or any other mods. Plus the servers went down because of an overload, so its unlikely to happen again.


I'd much rather play a game with some mods online than not play at all.

Idk, maybe your opinion differs on that matter.

KramaticV2 You can't say that EA's servers failed cause of an overload when you're just saying that on opinion.

EA has always had issues with servers. Why? Because they are SH1TTY. Simple as that. I would prefer having some kid having a modded rank, or with a hacked laser out of his gun, whereas it doesn't effect me in any way, then have servers that go offline at random times.


SO true man.

I mean, how the hell is everyone surprised that EA's servers can't handle a launch?

It's always been like this lol.
EA's servers are a joke.

This has happened before on Halo Reach the first day it came out, the servers crashed because of too many players on servers, it's not only BF.
