If the server status says it's up and you're still having connection issues, then be sure to check those ports for optimal server connection. If all else fails, Modern Warfare 3 will be out tomorrow.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I don't think something like this should really be necessary.

Agreed. I mean I love the game, but it'd almost be better if the server issues sucked all the time rather than just intermittently. They give you a taste of heaven, and then you're left wondering when you'll be able to play again.
It's driving me to the brink.

Just got my MW3 Hardened Edition from the FedEx guy this morning! About to hop on when the disc installs on the HDD. ^_^

@wqerty What.The.Hell are YOU talking about? I got a HARDENED Ed. The one sold on eBay was a regular edition. I got my copy for attending CoD XP 2011. And I didn't have to pay for that $150 ticket because I won access to XP through Twitter.....Jackass!

Cool story, but isn't it kinda unrelated to the topic? I mean, posting something related to CoD on a BF thread is kinda like... Trolling? :O !

Actually read the damn post! I wouldn't have posted anything CoD on the damn topic if that wasn't in there and wouldn't have to tell my "cool" stories if random people didn't say dumb shit like:
"you paid 1700$ more than its worth"
You guys need to chill. And think before you come at people online as total dicks. Seriously... :O

Too bad having dedicated servers on PC doesn't mean crap when the Battlelog servers die.

Funny because i read on IGN that EA wishes Activision the "best of luck." All that trash talking they were doing before the game came out and Activision sat there with their mouths shut knowing that cod will blow them out in sales. I'm not saying the game is better than bf3 by any means. I'm just saying EA should of kept their mouth shut

Their comment of (paraphrasing here) "You own 90% of the shooter market, expect that to reach 70% once Battlefield 3 is out, then 40% a year later, and 0% once our next title comes", is quite hilarious, ESPECIALLY with 1/4th of the people who played the beta actually pre-ordering the game.
Maybe if they put some work into the game instead of working to bash other companies as a market strategy, we wouldn't be here right now.

They knew they were going to get outsold, they said as much. But they know they get plenty of press whenever they opened their mouths, so they took advantage of it, It was free publicity.

@Draugdraugr it was a great marketing ploy by a game that basically is no different in updates with sequels.even better was the free map pack talk that's just older maps ported over.good show.thank god the game itself can live up to 98% of the hype even when servers cant

i think bf3 is an awesome game and i think mw3 will hit all their fans the same way (by the way I'm a fan of both games)
but both games picked the wrong year to come out.
SKYRIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! sanguine my brother.

Game crashes for me maybe once every three rounds. Entire 64 player server crashes maybe two to three times a night. Definitely not the greatest PC launch ever.

Already got rid of this game.. Hate shitty ports. Game looks and feels like trash on PS3.. Sure it's not much better on Xbox either.. PC is the only platform to play this on.
When will GTAV drop??grr.

DICE has always had problems with server issues with every Battlefield, so I don't mind. The only reason I'm excited for MW3 is so the regular "COD faithful" can get off the BF servers so the real battlefield veterans can duke it out!

This comment made me laugh. So you're waiting for the day when Battlefield rounds end 24-17 [i don't remember how many points you get for kills in BF3] because everyone sits back, and camps? Enjoy BF3 then, the 4 matches i managed to get into were fun i suppose.

I hope MW3 has a page that counts up the number of quick scope sniper kills.
Since its been confirmed that TDM is nothing but quick scope sniper kills I think its safe to assume the page will look something like this.
Quick scope kills:
1000000000
People having fun:
7

Wow, you know it's getting pretty bad when there's a page dedicated to server status updates. At least there's something, and hopefully it stays consistent.
Posted: Nov 7th 2011 4:50PM eat it said
what if the server status page is offline??
will there be a never ending loop of server status pages that give us info on each other?

Oh BTW...
WoW has a server page too and it has 9 million active players. But ya know, server pages are pointless.
Also, this is trash from joystiq's "lack of integrity" club. Yeah. Its a dig at BF3. We get it. However, since you are a journalist I am not sure how professional it is pouring gas on a fire. But ya know, I guess you need the hits...

EA's Peter Moore has just sent his personal goons to find an A. Sliwinski for the final statement in the post. They just want to talk.

EA has the worst game support of any company out there. Ever since I wasted $60 on this game it has been nothing but trouble. Crysis 2 refuses to give me the dedication achievement, BF3 has more issues than you can count.... WHy should I have to open all these ridiculous ports that will screw up my other stuff for you?? DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! EA is more concerned with their ludicrous online pass than providing a decent experience. Heaven forbid someone might actually buy a used game. MW3 will blow this crappy game out of the water and very soon I will be using my copy of BF3 for AR-15 target practice. I have never purchased an EA game that I didn't have to waste countless hours "linking" or some other nonsense to unlock achievements.

Today, I just realized I wasted $60 on a game that was said to be the "FPS of the decade". Servers suck, campaign sucks, I can't even play it. I'm still hoping the company will fix the problems. The company still hasn't fixed the problems on the game that came out before this one. FML

I'm 90% confident the issue is in your system or the drivers. However, I don't know what you have tried so its impossible to diagnose.
Very rarely is the game 100% unplayable and crashes every time. There is a fix in almost all cases. You just need to spend some time figuring it out. Its a computer, not an xbox.

honestly I haven't had too many server hiccups on PS3, I've played ove 24 hours and at most have been kicked mid-game twice. They do need to however fix battlelog though, I can never see my stats, good thing for bf3stats.com
