Battlefield 3 Server Issues Still a major problem say fans

Battlefield 3 fans getting restless with ongoing server and voice chat issues.

Across all platforms, Battlefield 3 players are experiencing trouble connecting to play DICE's latest shooter. You don't have to venture very far into any of the game's online presences (Facebook, Battlelog, etc.) to see that there are thousands of vocal fans that are outraged at the problems that continue to persist with the game.

The server problems have been addressed by DICE, but much like the voice communication problems that have plagued the PS3 version of the game, they've gone unfixed.

According to Venture Beat, DICE has addressed these issues with fans via Twitter and other avenues, but have deleted the reponses to remove any evidence of a problem at all. The publication also believes that for those that are experiencing server issues, using a manual search for servers seems to be the best option.

While these problems aren't necessarily affecting all players in the Battlefield 3 community, its still an eye-opener to see so many thousands of fans still having issues with the game two and a half months after release.

More like Origin is still a major problem. Freezes every time I close the game and enter a new one.

???? maybe on console. I havent had any problems finding a >50 ping server with basically any mode. I guess maybe consoles aren’t so lucky :/

it was the hardcore servers for xbox360 that were down almost all week and with no response from DICE. I signed up for twitter just to ask a customer service based question regarding the issue and was never responded to and my post was deleted. They failed BIG on their statement of being transparent since they never truly addressed the issue other than with an automated statement of, “we are aware of the issue and are investigating why this happened.”

sometimes when u just hit quick play it doesnt join and then says your internet connection maybe down, i just server browse, its not difficult plus i prefer playin on an eu server considering i live in the uk and i prefer to play on a official dice server cause they are generally better.

other than that no problems. i havent experienced any lag, voip is a mess on ps3 but its managable, to be honest its one of the few ganes that has polish before release.
