Not working for me either, and apparently nobody else. BULLSHIT

I didn't buy today because they did the same thing with 1943, Bad Company 2, and Medal of Honor. I had a feeling it was a trend that would repeat.

They always give some bullshit line like, "we had no idea the game would be so popular!". I'll buy it when it drops to $40 on amazon I'm a couple weeks.

Here's my beef with EA. And as far as anyone coming with the whole "Well, this happens at every launch, bla bla bla", go suck a fat one!

From the beginning, EA insists on hosting their own servers rather than using Xbox live resources. They do this for their own marketing and business demands. They fought Microsoft on this and Microsoft gave in, but look where it got us?

EA is notorious for having online problems and despite having 'tested' the workload, they did not have a god damn clue as to how many server resources would be needed for a smooth launch. How many times have they been making online games? Some dipshit wanted to maximize profit and dedicate as little hardware resources as they could. And look what happens.

Also, when I actually got SOMEWHAT of a connection, I was greeted by a code to allow for playing online. Granted, they included a code in the box with the game, but I see this for what it is. Imagine if you wanted to sell or loan this game to someone else? Yea, good luck to the new buyer on enjoying everything multiplayer has to offer.

I've been home since 5. Total gametime so far actually playing? 5 fucking minutes!!!! And even that was greeted by a server disconnect. Game looks good but what's the use of that when you can't play it?

EA is aware, apparently.

I knew this would be on reddit. Thank you guys for allowing me to know there are many others who have a big collective "fuck you" to send to EA for this one.

Xbox Live has an alert saying there are connection issues with various EA titles online play.

At least you own the game on 360. I have to wait at least 8 hours and that's if I go to the midnight release.

This is still happening!

This happens every time a shooter comes out. You weren't expecting it? Things will be fine in a day or two.

So, you have to be online to play ANY of BF3? Even the single player?

I don't have the game yet, but I'd like to know something:

If I am playing single player on my 360, do I have to be connected to EA's servers?

(I know they force the connection for other PC games, was wondering if it's extended to consoles yet...)

Are the servers still not working? I'm at work and was curious.

Welcome to every Dice game on release day

Wow, the biggest first world problem I've ever seen in my entire life.

This happens every time DICE releases a game. Their servers either crash or lag the fuck out.

Man I'm glad I slowly got out of hardcore gaming. Must suck to get this worked up over a game release and to have your inability to play a video game completely ruin your day.
