No BF3 DLC Back To Karkand servers on Xbox Live?

I just started playing BF3 again and decided to get the Back To Karkand DLC this time. The EA store let me purchase it (it says non-refundable), but it just didn't bother to inform me that there's n...

    Listen "Hero": first off, I think it's hilarious that you edited out "schweinsteiger", if you looked at the communty manager's name, you would understand the reference, but then again you are probably not intelligent enough, so I expect you will have to google it like the EA jocker you are.

    Secondly, I reiterate my perfectly legitimate point: I paid EA for a working IRNV scope. Their "compulsory" update broke the IRNV scope. You can't make someone pay for one product and then turn it into another. It's deliberate sabotage and criminal fraud. I am certainly  entitled to a refund.

    If the DLC broke my scope, I am entitled to a refund for that too. Plus the lag is just awful now.

    However, I thank you for the file information -although it is most fitting that the number of your solutions is 666, for it is man's number, and the beast to come shall be known by this number and indeed he shall appear in the midst of great tribulation for an age and an age - and so for this informative gesture, I shall refrain from adding your name to the list.

    For now.


    Atlantis I know the national origin of the community manager very well and as an avid Bayern München fan I am very much aware of the reference you made which was still a ToS vioaltion as it referenced national origin in a condescending manner.  Your tone and insults will not resolve your problem, hoewever if you settle down and work with us we may be able to assist you. 

    You paid for a game and you have access to the game so DICE delivered what you paid for.  DICE as the studio periodically makes balancing changes to the multiplayer portion - some driven by the studio and others requested by the Battlefield community, and the INRV scope was one of the first changes to the game in January 2012 because the community demanded it.  In order to make things fair you cannot play online with other players if you don't have the latest balancing changes because it wouldn't be fair if you had access to the good IRNV sight and nobody else did, or if someone was using the pre-patch famas and others weren't.  I understand your frustration becuase I really liked the pre-patch IRNV and I really liked the mortar before DICE killed the mortar but in the end if we wish to play online multiplayer we deal with the changes even if we don't agree with them or like them.

    Regarding the lag we may be able to assist you, please try these steps to help to mitigate or prevent lagging or freezing on your Xbox.  One thing is to ensure that you have a good amount of HDD space left since computers don't run efficiently when the HDD is almost full.  BF3 plus Premium takes up around 20 GB so that is why I am bringing this issue up.

    You can also plug your console directly into your router with a Cat5 cable instead of using wireless to play online games as this creates a much faster data transfer with less latency, you can install the game to your hard drive (this creates a faster read and reduces heat since the console isn't spinning the disc) instead of having the console continuously reading the disc, ensure that your Xbox is clean and located in a clean well ventilated area since an overheating console will have lagging and performance issues, and you can clear the cache on your Xbox.  I've experienced lagging with Skyrim and Dragon Age II and the issues went away when I installed the games to the HDD and cleared my cache on a semi frequent basis on my Xbox.
