Was just playing on PS3. Took 3 times to get into a game but then was fine.

Criminal5353d ago

Similar to my experience on the 360. I tried a couple of times to get into a game, but once I did, I kept playing for hours with getting disconnected.

i love playing on the giantbomb servers. Im in the giantbomb squad platoon its a great community and you know all the guys you play with. What a great site that the members buy their own servers to run on.

Criminal5353d ago

@awi5951 I agree, GiantBomb is a great site, but their premium membership is way too pricey. If they lower that, I'd become a member.

mike_d_5353d ago

I guess I'm the lucky one here.I've had BF3 since day 1 and have only had 1 disconnect.Haven't experienced any lag or connection issues since that 1 time.

finbars755353d ago

The game works awesome now on the PS3.My only complaint was the squad separating and voice chat cut in and out but now everything works smooth as butter.I can hear everyone n my squad and we never get separated any more.No matter what people say Dice has a handle on things like they said they would.At least it didn't take a month to fix like an other game I have on mind but even then it's still broken like the rest of the series.

awi59515353d ago

I wish they left the call of duty maps out of conquest. Metro is a rocketfest with 64 players,Seine Crossing is a sniper map with two few options to flank,and people just shoot rockets into the tunnels of Damavand Peak. I take these maps off my server list there just stupid call of duty maps that have no place in a battlefield game.

Mister_V5353d ago

I find I'm able to connect to games better at the moment, but the server lag is a little more apparent than it was in the first few days of launch.

Raven_Nomad5353d ago

Ya, solid for a year and then they will shut down these servers to force people to buy the new Battlefield game.

Criminal5353d ago

Yeah, that's the downside of dedicated servers, but they keep the servers up for more than a year. BF1943 servers are still up, and that game released 3 years ago. But, I see what you're saying, once they pull the plug, it's over.

Pandamobile5353d ago (Edited 5353d ago )

Every Battlefield game is still operational except for BF2:MC, so I don't think they'll be shutting down the BF3 servers any time in the next five-to-ten years.

BF1942 - Still up after 9 years.
BFViet - Still up after 7 years.
BF2 - Still up after 6 years

BakedGoods5353d ago

True. Raven doesn't know what he's talking about.

mike_d_5353d ago

Raven obviously never knows what he is talking about.(Hence the 1 bubble he has) :)

DontShoot-Me-Bro5353d ago

got into 3 games, all 3 games i got disconnected. I'm not really enjoying the game either, the screen tearing is annoying, it was annoying in BC2, but i somehow enjoyed BC2 more than BF3. The graphics are nice, but people hyped it up too much on N4G, its just a slight bit better than BC2. Any-who i sold it on Ebay now, bought it for £35, sold it for £27, oh well a little loss. i can put it towards MW3 now.

fluffydelusions5353d ago

What system are you playing on? I haven't noticed any tearing and once in a game I was never disconnected.

DontShoot-Me-Bro5353d ago

Playing on PS3.

Really?, People playing from both console's have had at least 1 problem with connecting to online games from what i have heard on N4G, your probably 1 of the lucky one's.

PirateThom5353d ago (Edited 5353d ago )

I never had any issues either with connecting or disconnections in the 6 or so games I played, but I got some terrible, terrible, terrible lag on Caspian Border (PS3).

da305kratos5353d ago

connection is better now, but more lag as of late....loving this game though.

Mister_V5353d ago

Same thing happening here. I'm playing on the 360 right now.

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

anast534d ago

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

Johnh5223534d ago (Edited 534d 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

Knightofelemia1319d ago

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

MadLad1319d ago

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