Battlefield 3 Server Closure/DLC must be free of charge due to soon delisting

Hey everyone - I know that this may be a obnoxious question - but I think most BF3 players are not ready yet for the server closure that will happen on November 7th.

There are many players who still are fighting to get the platinum on PlayStation 3, or the achievements completion on the Xbox 360, and also there are various players that will try to do the 100% completion of the game, of course with all DLCs, and there's my point on it.

On the coming next week (July 31), all of the DLC will be delisted from PlayStation Store [PS3] (they will be gone first on Xbox 360 due to the Xbox Store shutdown on July 29), and I think EA and DICE must make all BF3 DLC free of charge (for Xbox 360 and PS3) for all of the players that cannot afford it before the delisting.

Also, I feel that the server shutdown must be delayed for one more month (to December), to give more time for the players to obtain all online-related achievements before they're gone.

  • Hello @its_diesquivel19,

    Unfortunately, I highly doubt any extension period will be added, the decision is final and nothing will change. I will post a short statement for EA bellow.

    The decisions to withdraw particular features or modes of certain EA games, or to retire online services relating to older EA games are never easy. The development teams and operational staff pour their hearts into our games, their features and modes almost as much as the players, and it is hard to see one retired. As games are replaced with newer titles, the number of players still enjoying the games that have been live for some time dwindles to a level – typically fewer than 1% of all peak online players across all EA titles – where it’s no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping the online services for these games up and running.

    Online Services Shutdown

    Best regards,

  • Hello - I understand that the DLC is gonna be delisted anyways - but also the question is - the online pass is also going to be delisted or will remain available to download?
