Wouldn't get your hopes up...remember Black Ops?

[Flightwatch]

For the gamers it's good news

For GSP's it will be disappointing again I'm afraid

[Drakar]

But even we do not know if will be free for GSP or just GameServers.com, I think we have to wait more information, right?

[Bubka3]

Either it will be gameservers.com only, or some ranked provider program

[Drakar]

But have you any official information to confirm that it will be only gameservers.com or only with a rsp program?

 

I continue waiting official confirmation about it...

[bullfrog3459]

Once you go to a single provider or a RSP, its going to stay that way. I highly doubt they are coming back to us hosters being able to host our own servers any more.

[icekohl]

Anyone can host according to a report on ARS.

Well at least all GSPs will be able to host it

[Drakar]

I suppose that this is official or not?

If that's true then I guess there one sided deal on BO was an epic fail?......

[peace]

That's very good news.

 

Does anyone know if mw3 has the same engine? I heard that is upgraded MW2 engine. But i never played MW2 since it doesnt have dedicated servers.

[Goran]

I think it's the same engine, somewhat improved.

Any news on the release date

I'm clicking my heels in excitement! BF3 and MW3 COULD IT GET ANY BETTER?

BF3 without COD 4.3 <- opinion!

[Bubka3]

Now if only EA would screw off with the Ranked Provider program for BF3, everybody would be happy!

[SickPuppy]

EA stated that they limit the number of Ranked Providers because it cost them money to support and maintain the Ranked providers and the master servers. They could outsource the program. I offered to administer this program for them free of charge and never received a response.

 

Another alternative to offsetting the cost of maintaining the Ranked Server program , charge a sign up fee and monthly fee per server.

That would most likely destroy the program. The best alternative is to drop the ranked provider program.

dont you dare to think they give ranked status for free

[tbrown7552]

I agree, get rid of the ranked and unranked BS. Just give out the server files.

[bobcat]

Fingers crossed for us all guys, This is what gaming really needs to get back, dedi servers for all... But how many times have we had the bubble popped now at the very last moment...
