    After a lot of chatter over the interwebs, it seems BF3 has updated their console server playlist's in yesterday in their back end server updates. This couldn't come at a better time for console players, which have not had a client-side update since the release of B2K back in December. Details below, thanks to MP1st and @MassNERDerer for the heads up!

    Good idea. Now the "favorites" option serves a purpose.

    It would have been better if they announced this before they made the change & not after. But it was a good move

    Are all the "Deathmatch Action" servers 16 players only? or do 8 people get kicked when the map rotates from TDM to SQDM? haven't tested it yet.

    Thanks Pres for the confirmed update, and further details.

    So now Quick Match is useless, as it will change game mode all the time... You have to go and find a specific server... Not sure I like that....

    Nice :)
    PAtch is clsoe soo ? 2 weeks is my bet
  5. AyMayne1011

    not true necessarily. there are still conquest only, rush only, etc. servers with the same map rotations they had before. So i guess you have a less likely chance of being in one of those servers now when you select a match to join from "quick match" menu. but it's not completely unlikely
  6. TylrD4
    nice.. PC patch pweeeeas soon!
  7. PHATL2028
    no it's limited to 16 I believe I played on it but wasn't happy since they never gave us a hey we're about to change everything on you .... surprise. I guess I'll adapt just not a fan of TDM, they're suppose to have pure servers of original BF3 but HC was only running DEATHMATCH ACTION or DMA as I'm calling it. I prefer SDM over TDM any day, more of a challenge 4 vs 12. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon so I can choose just one mode pure or mixed, guess DICE is kinda forcing us into RENT a server to actually play how and which mode type we really want.
  8. MassNERDerer
    16 players only. So a slightly smaller TDM...

    i cant find hardcore CQ regular servers ! what do i do wrong?
  10. AyMayne1011

    There are still "pure" game mode servers. You need to look again. i don't know what HC is... but DICE conspiring to probably trying to make people, who don't want to, to pay for a server is unlikely.

    "·It should be noted that servers labeled without -[DICE]- are regular servers and are made up of a single game type with a generic map rotation. So if you only want to play Conquest exclusively on various maps, for example, pick one of these servers. Same goes for Rush, TDM, SQDM and SQRush."

    Thanks for the heads up on this update. I hope the patch comes out really soon :):cool:

    Already knew there were reg servers left, but when the only option as of yesterday on HC SDM was DMA, they didn't have ANY running reg SDM just new THEMED servers. Dice said they were looking into it of course with the typical " we are aware of this issue " robot response. Trust me my friends kept sending tweets to them. My main issue wasn't the addition of these new THEMES but the lack of information they provided to the community letting us know hey were totally changing things, first couple days you may have issues playing the modes you prefer. I'll start playing again and adapt like I always do, and yes overall I do like the options mostly for other modes like CONQUEST & RUSH pretty cool. Now it looks like CLOSE QUARTERS when released in june should have it's home in 16 player DEATHMATCH ACTION rotation which will be :cool:
  14. PHATL2028
    DICE was having issues with a bunch of HC servers, should be fixed soon if it hasn't been already.
  15. Johnny Neat
    As long as they don't remove options from Hardcore servers, I'm good. I like to play whatever I want in Hardcore. I just hope DICE doesn't become Infinity/Treyarch etc., who think Hardcore gametypes should be limited.
