Battlefield 3 Community Plans 24-Hour Blackout

I'm expecting this to be about as successful as the MW2 dedicated server boycott.

hahaha ...




dumb

The glitches, exploits, and boosting in BF3 are bad enough. The publisher/developer not addressing the problems or saying anything at all just compounds them further. Are they really that afraid of bad press & a negative reputation or what? I don't see what they have to gain from their silence other than not having to admit that there are problems in the first place. It almost seems egotistical.

I love BF3 but there are so many things about it that make me feel like throwing my controller into the screen sometimes! haha! Issues like the U-SAS frag rounds and, well mainly just that one, have been raised so many times by players to no avail. I'm sure that this blackout thing will come to nothing but it would be nice to see DICE or EA give some kind of response. At the end of the day the people who are most pissed off are the real fans, the ones who have paid for not only BF3 and the DLC but also previous games. Without the loyal fanbase these games would never get to position they are currently at. Some acknowledgment of this would be fall under the 'common courtesy' area in my opinion.

I wonder of they plan on patching out the ability to ride the MAV?...I hope not.

Yup its gone. No more getting to cheap ass sniper spots. Gonna have to play fair like the rest of us!

Uh oh! That decreased server load sure will show EA!

this reminds me of the petition Valve fans were passing around to get HL3 news. but this is more legitimate. but god i want to punch those entitled little petition signing ****ers in the face

And they say video games don’t make you violent.

Don't forget the L4D2 boycotters!

I had anger management issues on top of ADHD growing up, a lot of things contributed to my current state, but video games were an outlet and conditioned me to diffuse when I was on the edge. Violent didn't really register any different than other games, but people do tend to get more intense when playing intense games. Its no coincidence that violent games tend to have more demanding gameplay.

maybe I'll play during the blackout and be able to get more than 5 kills haha.

Meh, so the game has cheaters, which game doesn't. It also has unbalanced guns, like all games are perfectly balanced. Snipers riding MAVs up to buildings ... that you can still snipe them out of, so what?

Out of all my years playing CoD games, BF3 cheaters / boosters are by far the easiest to play with against. It's nothing like infinite care packages and there content bombarding the sky the entire match.

It worked. lol
