I'd rather have the neighbor's dog crap on it, I'd rather have the moles making tunnels under it, I'd rather have the weeds grow in it, than have you gamers on it!

Gamers---Get off my lawn!

The Battlefield series is pretty awsome. I had a minor freak-out when EA bought DICE but at the time, they commited to be hands-off with DICE Sweeden anyway. They have for the most part and BF3 was an awsome game.

BF3 was below average compared to all the old PC BF games..  mainly was ruined because they made it for console and stopped caring about updating and fixing everything that is still wrong with BF3.. now they are just rushing to make a new version every single year like that joke cod

BF3 is just as fun as the old PC BF games, in fact BF3 is very similar to BF BC2, except you have 64 players. 

That being said, are the older games going to be better...of course, but that doesn't mean BF3 is a bad game. It's a good game.

BF4 is coming soon and looks to be amazing. The fact of the matter is that the BF franchise outshines all other MP FPS titles out there. The only other competitor is COD and we all know about that run-and-quick scope snipe game. So say what you will about noobs and admins but the alternatives are sh-t.

If you're having server issues queue up in one of the U-Rock gaming servers on PC. You'll find some serious BF3ers there and some good admins. Plus, you can try to take rivaLxfactor's tags and win some free stuff!

BF3 was an awesome game;

--except I couldnt play online with my friends (took weeks before you could get into a game the 1st time with your party)

--except that I couldnt even play online during the beta (servers too full)

--except that I couldnt even play online during the actual relase for a week (servers too full)

--except that now that Noob's and 9 year olds can rent servers, and boot you for no damn reason because "you cheated/modded" no kid, you just suck. 

But yeah besides those reasons I guess it was good.  I mean we get to fly choppers n jets.

Are you playing on PC or 360? If you're playing on PC, just hit up any 64 player CTF server for End Game and you won't get booted unless you hack. 

I hear a lot of criticism about people getting booted, but the only thing that boots me is faulty code. "Lost connection to EA Online." And that doesn't happen that often.

Can someone explain why you all hate the Mass Effect 3 ending? Is it because you have to play online to get the best one, or is it because of what happens at the literal end? I thought it was okay.

I think their issues with SimCity this year pushed them over the top. They had all kinds of preorders and their servers were down for like the entire first week. People were pissed.
