Battlefield 3 Server Browser on Consoles Revealed

MP1st - "There are only two days left in your life without Battlefield 3, or perhaps more if living overseas. Either way, it’s almost here. For now, we have a look at the brand new server browser function on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3."

Nitrowolf25322d ago

Awesome!! more games on console need a server list IMO

Criminal5322d ago

Dedicated servers make for a much better multiplayer experience. I hope Activision will wise up and implement them in the next cod.

da_2pacalypse5322d ago

They won't Activision is too cheap to do something like that.

anyways, this is an awesome feature, I never thought I'd see the day where a console game has a server browser option. Other companies take note!

Grip5322d ago

they should but they won't do it.

Calvin_ISA5322d ago

You must not have played Warhawk?

Outside_ofthe_Box5322d ago

All games should have ranked custom games with server browsers. There is no excuse not to have it. And I don't see why anyone would not want to have it.

Mister_V5322d ago

So nice to be able to choose region!

Ghoul5322d ago

this means clans can finally rent theyre own servers on consoles :)

HELL YES

no gimme custom server rules and i a happy chappy

darkgoon3r965322d ago

No it doesn't mean that, private matches will not be on the game on launch, and servers will only be hosted by EA on Battlefield 3 on consoles, so yea...

Ghoul5322d ago

darkgoon

i know

but THIS is what keeps a communit going,
unlock the servers further into its lifespan and people WILL adopt and continue the game.

this is the right direction thats all im saying not building any hype here

-Alpha5322d ago

Custom server options are in! Hurray!

ajeben8095322d ago

It's actually quite impressive. Something console games have been missing for a while.

frostypants5322d ago

This is good. The absence of server browsers in ANY online game is inexcusable IMHO. I hope Activision got off their arse and added this to MW3 as well.

terrordactyl5322d ago

It won't happen. Cod doesn't have servers, it is peer to peer.

Gameplay9995322d ago

Most definitely... I believe Frontlines: Fuel of War was when I entered the server browser experience being a console gamer only.

SkylineR5322d ago

Yeah it's great knowing that you can search by region so you don't get randomly put into a laggy game because you're in Australia and the host is in the US.

Heartnet5322d ago

Aye :) but their all copying socom confrontation 8-)

Criminal5322d ago

I really respect DICE; they have a hands-on approach when it comes to the community that many other dev houses should learn from.

ddurand15322d ago

this should be a requirement for all games.

A_Troll_From_Ign5322d ago

Both matchmaking and server browsing would be good in halo. Server browsing for custom games and matchmaking for ranked/playlist games. That's a good idea actually *lightbulb appears above head. :)

frostypants5322d ago

PC online games have done this kind of thing since the dawn of time. It's the main thing I miss when I play these games on consoles. Hopefully this sets a standard.

ddurand15322d ago

many games have done this before too.

hell, the original CS for xbox had this.

bozebo5322d ago (Edited 5322d ago )

I wonder if I can hack battlelog to let my PC version join servers for console gamers.... lolz

They probably use the same networking protocol and provide some kind of version ID... packet capture ftw.

Consoles have deserved dedicated servers for too long, P2P networking is just bad most of the time.

GroundsKeeperJimbo5322d ago

Looks pretty slick. :]

I'm very pleased they have the ping showing on the main browser. Also the filter options; it'll be like I have a PC again.

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel496d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast496d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Johnh5223496d ago (Edited 496d ago )

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1282d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1281d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
