EDIT: Also, maybe a stupid question.. but is there a way to leave a room between games/rounds? :lol:

No... it was like that in Bad Company 2 also. I believe you maintain your stats if you leave midway through, but I don't know if you get all of the ribbons...

and ms can't do anything because of the long standing contract ea forced on Microsoft, demanding they use their servers instead of microsofts

Clan support or at the very least party-compatible multiplayer would be nice.. You aren't guaranteed to even be in the same room as your own party, which is pretty ridiculous.

Also sticking to Team Deathmatch until a few more of my friends start playing. I was on some unbelievably bad teams tonight.

Sadly, whatever they have done recently, has made the game unplayable for me. I crash all the time. The worst thing is most of the time when I crash I get a quit on my stats. I am up to 11% quit, and I should probably be around 5%. Even then that 5% is from servers that have a ton of rubber banding, not from losing the match. I can only think of 1 time I quit because my team was garbage, and that was because we had a ton of guys screwing around at deployment.

edit: Well, I did the "repair install" on Origin (which pretty much reinstalls the game). Now it works fine again.

I think you can forgive anyone's quit status right now due to some of the maps/server being unplayable.... that and rage quitting.

Any game requiring EA servers is going to fail massively on console's unless EA gets their shit together - ASAFP.



That said. This. Game. Is. The. Shit.

Picked up a copy on 360. Once I get moved down to VA, get a little while to settle in, I'll toss some stuff in my rig and use my PC copy.

Need some opinions from my fellow Buckeyes...

Is this game worth buying on the consoles?

Are 24 players enough to enjoy these maps, I don't really feel like upgrading my pc as it's been obsolete for pretty much any games produced in the past 2 years.

I've enjoyed the few rounds I have played on xbox. I was in the same position as you and I've enjoyed my purchase so far. Now if EA can get their god damn servers fixed this game will be a lot better online. Playing in a squad w/ people who work together is so much better. What console are you looking to get this on?

Looking around online while the servers were done, I learned that EA apparently strong-armed MS into an agreement to use their own servers instead of Microsoft's, which is why EA games are always so poor on the server front (versus a game like Halo). This agreement was banged out back in the xbox 1 days (some claimed it came right before), back when MS was desperate to catch up to Sony.


As for the game, it is terrific. The maps are a little bit big but there is still plenty of interaction between squads. The servers are ALWAYS full with 20+ players. It might be a problem if there were only 12.


The one problem with the game is that it fills up servers too fast. It is hard to get a 3-4 player squad into the same game on the same squad, and it's virtually impossible to invite someone into the game from outside of it.
