Battlefield 3 The COD Nemesis but Not With EA Servers

PushStartSelect: "Once again EA has released another FPS title, and once again EA touted it as the Call of Duty killer. EA has made it clear that they plan to follow the same Call of Duty routine by releasing an FPS every year. However instead they want it to switch between Battlefield and Medal of Honor, as the Medal of Honor slip in Battlefield 3 would suggest. So with that, does EA have some competition to be handed out to Call of Duty? Yeah their games are absolutely killer and get a lot of fans, but they also do a good job of shooting themselves in the foot before Call of Duty ever steps in the door. "

Don't forget. This happened with MW2 as well. It happens with all the new popular games

EA does suck in this regard. Every game EA servers are screwed for first week or so. You think they'd learn.

GraveLord5330d ago

Didn't buy Modern Warfare 2 but the game set records. No one was predicting it to do that well so the server load was a surprise to the guys at Infinity Ward.

EA shipped 10 MILLION COPIES OF BF3. they were expecting a lot of traffic on their servers. Why didn't they prepare?

MW2 servers on day one were fine for me, so were the rest of the CoD's. But that's probably because I have 50MB Optic Fiber internet. But BF3 keeps on disconnecting me? On the PS3 and on PC. Sometimes, it disconnects me after 10 seconds, while other times, it disconnects me when I'm on a 10 kill streak or higher? Maybe just a coincidence, but really getting on my nerves now.

gamingdroid5330d ago

I foolishly bought BF3, just sold it last night to another poor sucker! I kind of feel bad about it, but he would have bought it elsewhere anyhow.

I had all sorts of issues, including intermittent connection (no! not disconnection, connection) and I couldn't get battle log to work. After multiple tries and reading their FAQ, I discovered you had to have played at least one match online before you can sign up for battle log.

How retarded is that?

That is of course apart from a lot of other issues, including sometimes being able to move across rocks and sometimes not. Then the campaign was just riddled with bugs.

In conclusion, I don't think I will buying another EA game except for ME3. Bioware has proven themselves to deliver polished products and I'm also a huge fan and a hypocrite to boot, but I swear I was addicted before Bioware become part of EA. :D

princejb1345330d ago

i think you had to give it time till it was patched, theres a lot of multiplayer games that release with bugs, but they do get fixed slowly

MariaHelFutura5330d ago

That is plain ridiculous. Part of me doesnt even believe you.

Gamer-Z5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

The game is not for everyone, i didn't like it too much at first ether but now i'm having a blast playing it. The only gripe i do have with the game is that some of the maps are to big and there isn't enough players to support them.

TopDudeMan5330d ago

Wasn't that the whole point of the beta? To test the servers so this didn't happen?

Goeres5330d ago

Defend objectives aint really campin' ^^

kennyboy5330d ago

defending objectives? and in those super dark cornders, yeah thats defending the objective

TheFirstClassic5330d ago

Sure if you like running and gunning endlessly with no teamwork or variety in the gameplay.

Not with EAs fail Origin and battlelag.

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

XiNatsuDragnel509d ago

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

anast509d ago

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

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

Knightofelemia1294d ago

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

MadLad1294d ago

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