They are "worse" Singh. Much worse. It's not even plausible to compare the the two. Numbers don't lie and if one is objective enough to research numbers supporting this they too would be forced to admit it.

Ebassie, it's almost as if you're posting in some triumphant tone there? That in and of it'self is somewhat disturbing to me as a Battlefield Community Leader. Surely you comprehend that none of this is about a single Blackout? It's not about the number of servers that you can count, as you've taken the liberty to "investigate" the matter. How you represent your community is your business and I respect that. But I must wonder how intune you really are with the large number of Battlefielders that still can't even play this broken game? Surely you're not oblivious to the rapidly declining player base that is unprecedented even in comparison with Battlefield 3? How can you condone and in this case, as it appears, jump in to "defend" the launch failure we're experiencing now on such a massive scale? I represent 400+ of my community members who purchased Battlefield 4 and many of whom worked very hard to earn the $120 or so to purchase the game with the expectation that it would deliver or at minimal by this point in time be playable. Unlike many community leaders I spend a great deal of time interacting and actually playing the game with my community. Hence I am very aware in regards to the many issues, which after two months still plague the game. I also represent the many contributors to the servers we do operate. I take very seriously the let down it has become for many of them and can't and won't defend EA/DICE in the light that many apparently feel the need to do so. That does not mean I am anti EA/DICE. To the contrary I have supported them and the Battlefield series for years. I continue to do so by keeping our servers and community moving forward. We have numerous web properties and hundreds of hours are spent each week continuing to promote the game. There is a state of apathy that seems to have set in with a lot of BF community leaders and organizers. It's a state whereby things like what we're experiencing now are perceived as ok. It's a sad state of affairs when one BF community leader feels the need to publicly shame another one for expressing their concern and disapproval of the present state of Battlefield in their own unique way. The whole idea behind the Blackout movement has already served, in many aspects, much of what it was intended to. That intention was not merely about shutting servers down for a single day or how many servers would follow through. It has already began to raise even more awareness about the present state of the games dire need for some expedient resolutions. It has engaged you as well and so I would be very hesitant about critiquing it's success or failure at this early point. It saddens me when I honestly and objectively take a close look at the present state of Battlefield. Smaller communities have folded up shop and thousands upon thousands of players have walked away from the series. Thousands of server administrators are already no longer with us just two months into what should have been one of the most exciting and expansive eras in Battlefield history. Despite how this movement is perceived or portrayed to be by others, I assure you it is one of optimism and tremendous hope for the game and the series.

Never underestimate the power of collective, constructive, action. It's not about a "one time" event here expecting an immediate response. Google "bf4 operation blackout". It will definitely have a cumlative effect. Thanks for posting this up here Maydax.
