I hope not, as I'm closing in on my C4 dogtag after playing this game since release.
Only another 179 kills to go 😃
Seriously though, I do hope they look at fixing it. Not only for us that have played it for years, but those poor souls that bought it in the sales weeks before the broke it.
They're even selling it on their site:
They are still selling the game as its not killed officially. But the process is progressing.
I`ve spent over 5k hours ingame, such a shame it all is about to be wasted.
BF6 will most likely look like 2042 by the way, so the end of BF3 is the very end of Battlefield series as for me. EA is aiming at kids now, 2042 Fortnite-like crap.
This couldn't be more true. All games have gone this route thinking these jerky movements are somehow going to fix the ADHD kids without their meds. EA I'm sure has sent an internal memo trying to kill the game off. There will be no fix. It will be as you stated, "Low player base" and will be used for their reason to shut it all down.
It's very frustrating that a breakdown created in 1 day will apparently be solved for 1 year (or not solved at all).
Bye bye bf3, hello battlebit, arma, squad. The developers there care about the community.
Not solved is always the "best solved" for EA
So, a server admin of a server I visit a lot had a bit of a test, and think they may have found the cause (possibly).
They had quite a few maps on, and with map voting on. They reduced the maps down to three, and turned map voting off.
All worked well, battlelog was showing correct people in, correct map. The server reboots daily, and it still worked for two or so weeks.
Then, they popped the map voting back on. Was working still that same night, but once the server was rebooted (its the hosting company that does it), the server had issues.
Taken map voting off again, and its seems to be working again.
So, for any of those admins out there, do you have map voting on? Just curious if that is the cause.
I'll ask when I'm next on which plugin they use (via Procon) so it may help others if there are a few versions etc.
