Noticed this on EA UK about people dropping their servers come the end of April.

Currently are 61,316 players online on 18,177 servers. Server Usage: 12%

 

that 12% server usage is a killer

^ Reminds me of Villa on BlackOps.

 

I am passing on any DICE dlc. They already got more of my money than they deserved... Were not 6 months out, and I am already thinking about alternate games to host, other than Bf3. :banghead:

Despite my initial concerns im now really looking forward to the DLC. More infantry only maps are definitely needed. I hope they decide to allow at least 24 players on the pc servers though.

 

Anyone know what time this patch is going live?

 

EDIT

 

Its a 40mb origin update, downloaded just now.

BF3 PC Server R22 is due on Thu May 10th

 

Hi all,

 

BF3 PC Server R22 is being sent out to the RSP companies around now. They will do some internal testing of it, and if all is well it will be rolled out globally starting on Thursday May 10th, 08:00 UTC.

 

It is a maintenance update. All the changes are internal, in preparation for future features. There are no stability or gameplay changes.

Rumor ofc

 

We've got some exclusive (unofficial, but from a very reliable source) news and some new dates for you all. It looks like EA/DICE is rolling out a premium content service, and are also planning to drop 5th expansion after their previously announced End Game DLC. In addition, there will be a DOUBLE XP WEEKEND this weekend, May 12th - 14th!

 

Battlefield Premium : June 4th

Battlefield™ Premium will land you a number of content drops with unique in-game items not available anywhere else. First out is the one-of-a-kind Premium knife and black dog tag, plus a set of soldier camos, weapon camos, dog tags and Assignments that will make sure you stand out and get more personalization options.

 

Close Quarters : June 12th

From the same sources that leaked initial details of Battlefield Premium, we’ve learned further information on what exactly might be offerred in this “premium” package. Of course, this information is unofficial until proven otherwise by DICE or EA, but here’s what we know so far.

Update 2: coolshop UK lists Battlefield Premium at 34.96 GBP which converts to just under $60.00 as well. (Thanks, Colonel Ramirez.)

Update 1: Danish retailer coolshop lists Battlefield Premium at 369 Danish Kroner which converts to around $60.00 USD. The description translated reads:

BF3 Premium Service is 1 code in a box to give the consumers early access to the BF3 DLC expansion packs – Back to Karkand (already released), Close Quarters (releasing June), Armoured Kill (releasing Sept) and End Game (releasing December).

It does not, however, list the 5th DLC, Aftermath, so we’ll have to wait for confirmation on that info.

Original Info:

Battlefield Premium will allegedly include:

  • 20 Maps
  • 20 New Weapons
  • 10+ New Vehicles
  • 4+ New Game Modes
  • 30+ Assignments
  • 20+ Dog Tags
  • Also includes “Premium Benefits” which are made up of skins, camos and most importantly early access to all DLC.

These maps, weapons, vehicles game modes assignments and dog tags are spread across the following DLC:

  • Back to Karkand
  • Close Quarters in June 2012
  • Armored Kill in Fall 2012
  • Aftermath in late 2012
  • End Game in Spring 2013

If this info is correct, this means we can expect a 5th, unannounced expansion pack titled Aftermath to be released before End Game. It is said that DICE will announce official details on June 4th during EA’s E3 press conference.

I saw this posted on the EAUK forums.

EA forum admins keep deleting the threads where this image is posted in. Also they made it so noone can post a new thread or reply.

So people who don't pay for it can get bumped down the server queue.

Also premium they get the exp packs 2 weeks early, option to reset their solder etc.

I'm testing a new server build of bf3 atm with reserved slots enabled for Dice, can confirm its working so its defintely going to be added very shortly.

 

The server que thing is a bad idea, i hope we have the option to disable that.

 

Getting the exp packs early seems kinda daft just splitting the user base. The option to reset soldier stats is a nice idea if you want to play through it again. Its not for me but i know of a few people that would like to start again from 0 xp. If that means a full stats reset (k/d for example) i dont know.
