Idk it’s boring now, I used to have loads of fun with bf4 but everyone’s a sweaty try hard these days and all I want is to mess around and have fun but nope everyone’s got to use the same guns and equipment, attachment max (with thermal scope,flash hidder and the spotter), so every match is just aek’s and drone spam or you run for like 20 miles just to constantly get raped by the viper. I’ve been playing it on and off for its whole 10 year life span and idk the magic it once had has kind of gone. I no longer play like I used to either but that might be bec I’m burnt out from gaming as a whole and find enjoyment from other things now like motorbikes. the ea app is trash and crashes/ loses connection all the time.
@@mhiv466 I just booted it up today, after 1 year of absence. If it wasn't for the heat outside and the fact that my pc turns into an oven when I play it, I'd say it's still pretty fun out there! Tryhards? Not that I'm one of them but I'm just that good at the game, I can rival those with ease)
This isn't live service its dedicated servers companies can't keep dedicated servers running for every game forever on every platform just an unfortunate reality for multiplayer games
@@Tristan.211bad take, it doesn't need to be like that, its like that because they made it this way so they can destroy your game later, or attempt to at least. I dont expect them to run their servers forever, that's unreasonable, what's reasonable is letting people host their own if they're done with the game
@Cat_in_The-Box the good news is, live service could actually make older games like this keep their servers up longer. The issue here is that these games no longer make more money than it costs to run the server. Live service allows players to keep games alive by keeping it profitable. There are a lot of downsides to live service but that's the biggest upside imo
I get shutting down Hardline and BF4 on 7th gen consoles because they're available on newer gen systems but why the fuck is BF3 being shut down on the 360? It's backwards compatible on the newer xbox consoles AND people still pay to rent servers.
For BF3 another ticking clock working against it is Marketplace on 360. That's going to be shut down in July 2024. Meaning that even if EA would keep the servers for BF3 going on their end, people who rent servers wouldn't be able to even upkeep them since the functionality of purchasing extensions would no longer work.
@@therealthirst8099 I think people will still be able to purchase backwards compatible content on newer consoles, it doesn't make any sense for them to delist that stuff.
@@ToiletGrenade Correct me if I'm wrong, but the game and DLC are backwards compatible, other content isn't, such as RSP? Renting servers has to be done on a 360 last time I checked, so when the 360 marketplace closes so will the ability to renew rented servers.
Remember - if you think a bunch of overpaid bureaucrats are not gonna make a stupid decision, you are misplacing your trust, also. Why cant I buy helldivers 2?
With the whole PSN debacle over and the game now being able be played without the use of PSN account Sony still decided to leave out to countries who don’t have access to make a PSN account the ability to even buy the game to begin with. Absolutely scummy practice
@@DodoSniffer73Europe I guess? Pretty sure you can change servers of your account to the nearest host selling HD2 and buy it. The servers should be able to connect you to the nearest host
The crew that developed BF3 have long departed. I think its for the best that BF3 doesn't get a remaster since the Current Dice EA will just tarnish its legacy.
Im gonna miss BF3 very much for ps3. If only a team behind reviving games back from the dead, can revive BF3 servers on ps3 again, maybe just months or years after the shutdown date.
No way it still has a huge player base on !PS3! , i play BF4 on PS5 (ps4 version) and there are like 5-6 full servers so i can’t imagine ps3 having more
@@danonen7316 fr the only reason i haven’t thrown my Ps3 yet is because of BF 4 and 3 im not ready to let those legendary games go and thinking that BF 1 and 5 are next just breaks my heart they are just throwing money into games they know that will be dead the 2nd week after being launched
@@randommangofan5737 Exactly my feelings, like, dude, i live on a budget and spending a lot of money on a modern console is unthinkable, i will forever miss BTF 4 servers since i have dedicated so many hours to that game ffs
You are making a reasonable argument here, at some point it is valid for devs to shut down the servers. However, the root of the issue is that players are not *able to open their own servers anymore*, unlike in the pre ~2010 era. Luckily Venice Unleashed and Project Rome exist, but devs should just release the dedicated server files, especially when official servers are shut off.
I only got to play like 1 match of Scavenger on Xbox because I was late to the BF3 party. Such a shame I may never get to again. Anyone else miss Aftermath?
I started playing BF4 in 2023 on my ps5 when I boycotted call of duty and bought 2042, 2042 sucked so I bought BF4 and I am playing as I type this. Best game I have ever played. I'm no OG player for sure but I loved this game from the moment I first opened it.
as an OG and one of the many that was even there for the beta. it's the BF that I have the most history and enjoyment with so it's nice to hear new bloods enjoy it too
EA will always get rid of the game start actually become successful, make some horrible games and then screw up again, and will never leave it for no reason
It's one thing if they shutdown their own created servers, but it's highly likely they talk about the master/authentication server. If that one shuts down you can not log into the required EA services, which means the server browser will not work anymore. Epic shut down the master server for older Unreal Tournament servers last year and the community had to set up and redirect to a community owned one for the server browser to work again. So the out of the box copy of UT doesn't work for online play anymore. For PC people will probably gravitate towards Venice Unleashed, Project Rome or whatever, as they have the required means for the online portion to work again, but consoles will be left in the dust. PC players will have to tinker a bit to get these games running in the future.
@@mylastaccountgotdeletedtha6936 Nah, EA won't care cause VU would be for a game they no longer support. Activision did their C&D cause they were mods for games Activision still sells and the mod hosters were promoting piracy. Plus DICE devs and BF comm manager publicly supported VU on Twitter.
@@Nitroh- Battlefield Revive says hi. Granted the problem with Revive was it offers downloads of the game it self but companies especially EA can always ask for a shut down.
I think it is really sad that on european PC servers for bf3 and 4, they are ruined by corrupt trash admins on the most popular servers that ban anyone calling out their boyfriends who cheat no matter how many people does it. The difference between their click and others gameplay is really visible when they lock onto you regardless of what you do or stand + use every exploit possible with 0 enforcement of rules.
corrupt admins.. Maybe they are just tired of your toxic bs? If ya manage to be nicer and stop accusing everyone who is better than you of being a cheater, you may be able to appeal your ban on Battlefield Agency. You only got 1 more chance tho, the second ban will be a perm ban.
This is why fans of _Star Wars: Battlefront II_ fought so hard to have AI bots and Instant Action added to that game. We know it's only a matter of time before the servers are shut down, and the game is gone for good. And unfortunately, not all of the core modes are even supported in Instant Action; most notably Galactic Assault, Starfighter Assault, and Heroes Vs. Villains.
i was not expecting the ending of the video. it sent a wave of emotions through my system, the feelings of nostalgia and the feelings of sadness that it shut down.
I know this is a few weeks old at this point, but holy shit did RU-vidrs and news sites go hard with the click bait with this. I don't think I've seen a single headline about this yet that's actually said "PS3 $ XBOX 360 servers." They just wanna scare people into clicking to see if the versions that people actually play are getting shut down.
You probably need to update the punkbuster anti cheat. Whenever you download the game it installs an outdated version of it and will kick you out of every server after 10 seconds or so
Literally adding offline bots and direct multiplayer for up to 4 to 6 people without the need for outside servers would mitigate all of this. I still play battlefield 2 to this day because of its awesome single player bots. (And mods)
Well this is it boys. It´s been an honour playing with you. Well over 2000 hours on Bf 4 on xbox 360. Hundreds of bucks spend on xbox life. Thousands of 24 player conquest games, also rush or gungame from time to time. So many rage quits on good old 24/7 24 player operation locker. So many new friends. Every evening playing with the same comunity, same people. Doing shit and having an absoulut ball on empty servers late in the night. Or just telling funny stories from life with random guys while playing. I started playing bf4 on PC and it can´t be compared to old gen. Not because of the game but because of the comunity. Joined one server and got insta perma ban. Joined another one and got nonstop killed by total sweaty tryhards in 64 player chaos. Where fun? RIP progression, playtime, friends, dog tags, servers...
I was sad that the bad company games left the consoles cause I was a long time enjoyer with my bros so I downloaded a copy from a guy off discord helping people get it going for pc and made a Venice account for project rome and it’s been the best thing ever , finally getting to experience bad company 2 in proper resolution with 120fps it’s super nice , there’s usually like 4 Active servers with 2 usually full as well it’s awesome , gonna be jumping on multiple times a week
Bf4 is the best battlefield you can play rn 2042 is boring and I don’t want to play any world war games it sucks to hear these good games being shut down
I only played Battlefield 3, 4 and Hardline. It was fun at first, but like you said, there's so many other FPS games that's killing the competition, like Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty, Star Wars Battlefront, etc.
I decided to boot up Hardline two days ago, and I found only three servers available (only one of them had any players in the lobby). I understand it is an older title and unpopular compared to the mainline installments, but seeing that honestly took something out of me.
@@isalt5im kinda angry. Is it being taken down on both of PC and PS4? I wanted to try it's story. I believe you won't be able to access online only which kinda also sucks because I would like to try it. I want to see what it offers comparing to other battlefield titles I've played.
My best Battlefield memory is from BF3 on PS3. Parachuting in on cargo and I RPG'd a helicopter out of the air as it was about to land on a building and drop off a bunch of guys. It came down on the very edge and the flaming wreckage crashed to the ground as the kill feed lit up. Glorious.
Disclamer: I do not mean to upset or affected my fellow gamers unfortunately its enevatable and yes I love these games just as much as anyone does. EA/ALL ONLINE SERVICES GAMES: Why did you make us do this your fighting so you can watch all your favorite games die THINK gamers you'll out last every fragile insignificant game in your libraries you'll live to see them crumble to 1s and 0s and blow away everyone and every thing you've earned will be gone, WHAT WILL YOU HAVE AFTER ALL THESE GAMES SHUTS DOWN!
Really sad to be reminded of this games mortality. BF4 is still my main BF as no BF game since have dethroned it. Here’s hoping the next one is BF4 2 🙏🙏🙏
I suppose they're doing this because they know that if these truly great games are still widely enjoyed at the time of release for "BF6" - it's going to cost them money, in the wake of the catastrophe that BF2042 has been. They already know that pre-orders for "BF6" are going to be tiny. Keeping better games available will make that even worse for their profits.
1:58 "I dont think EA would be that fucking stupid" I meeeean to be fair... They did make 2042... And also thought making it a hero shooter would make people love it...
Well, of they make a unilateral decision and deny us the right to play the games we have paid for online, then they have to allow people playing these games on non-official servers or via LAN. Otherwise we should Mass-boycott these greedy companies for the rest of their life time.
That titan fall example is facts wish I could still play but at least on PC that shit is baron. Prime example how battle royale ruined the state of shooters. Has definitely caused me to lose interest in most modern shooters. Innovation is at an all time low
They're only shutting down the servers on Xbox 360 and PS3. You know, the consoles that came out in 2005, 19 years ago. I've seen like 3 different videos where they straight up just don't mention that part. They act as if EA is shutting down ALL BF3/4 servers.
You can still play BF4 on Xbox series X I doubt these servers will shut down for a long time - cause people are still paying for Servers and even if it’s the smallest amount it’s still a small revenue stream for EA
This announcement concludes my interests in EA Games. I will never install or play another EA-related title on my PC ever again. I encourage others to do the same. Trusting EA with anything is a one-way road paved exclusively with greed and leads straight to disappointment.
Honestly sucks that BF3 and 4 is shutting down for 7th gen consoles... As much I played both of them on PS3... Atleast they will be playable on PC still and if BF3 does get shutdown on PC Venice Unleashed is a thing for it... As well someone is working on a similar private server for BF4. As well people probably make private servers for BF3 and 4 for PS3 like other games on the PS3 that was shutdown.
