Battlefield 3 Xbox 360 Servers Are Down, EA Is Investigating


No it’s not just you. The official Twitter account for Battlefield has been telling their many, many followers that they are investigating current problems with the Xbox 360 servers for Battlefield 3. “We are aware the servers are down. We have our team working on this issue now, and will let you know when the problem is…” No ETA on when things will be back to normal.

      Totally. I have taken 2 days leave from work for day 1 and 2 on pc…. I have a feeling that might have been a waste of time.

    They’ve got 12hrs to fix this before Australian launch, I honestly didnt expect this to happen after all the hype. Honestly do they want my money or not come on

    EA, time and time again, f*cking DICE in the *ss

    DICE provide one of the best online shooters this side of BF2 and EA don’t provide their part of the bargain.

    Seriously wish Dice could tell them to get f*cked and find a new publisher.

        I have a life and a job, and I can make the midnight release :)

        …although I’m not because I’m waiting for reviews.

          I have a life, family, full-time job and could still make a midnight launch. I’ll be working the public holiday too.

          I’d rather be playing something, anything rather than wait in line a retail store for an hour or more for a game I could get for half price online.

            I don’t wait an hour in line. I turn up at the last 5 minutes or 5 minutes after midnight.

        i can’t wait until “i have a life” is no longer a saying, it doesn’t even make fucking sense, and it’s always used by someone who isn’t doing something someone else IS doing. big whoop.

    if you make 20 million copies….maybe make sure you have enough servers to handle it. since when is ok to put out unfinished work.

    Everytime I go on my xbox 360 to play BF3 Multiplayer,I search the servers but it comes up as (0) Found…I do live in australia and maybe not many people play here,but I was playing it about 2 days ago then for some reason I come back on an the servers are gone and when I try quick match it doesent find one for me. What’s happening!?
