I like chain link... its like domination was before they patched the st outta it

Played 20minutes so far... Half way to unlocking two of the new weapons. Longevity isn't a phrase in use at dice it seems.

Anyone else see similarities between the new maps and old ones like grand bazaar?

A positive post from Havoc - thats getting quoted!!

Despite the lack of vehicles I am liking the new maps, and using the MAV to get a couple of assignments done, did emphasise the epic scale of a couple of them.

CBull - sure I am teaching you to suck eggs but you do know that accessing Battlelog via PC you can see all the assignments really easily that you have to complete, what stage you are at with each, and what you'll unlock?

Desperate to get the shield as I suspect that will be a good laugh and with some squad play make for some interesting situations, imagine the underhall on Zavod, some smoke, a couple of shield carriers and IRNV sights it could be very amusing.

Regarding matches, trying to contact a couple of platoons (Slaney - trying your uncles, hope that is okay, you can then fight him for who plays), but if any one has any leads let me know.

Yeah not a drama. I have noticed my uncles group (av forums) server share with a clan called THCC so even they may be up for a little match. If i jump on tonight i will try to establish comms with them and head them your way.

Yeah problems with BF4 all night for multiple users. Other games strangely unaffected.. Make of that what you will... Restarting the app a few times will get you connected eventually.

Anyone else having trouble playing tonight? Every server I've tried I've been disconnected from.
ETA: Found your server snafu and sent you a friend request!
ETA+2: Finally got my ARW-R back and went 60+ kills in a round on Locker smile.

So what is the problem? Do they physically just not have the servers?

Dunno Matt, never heard of a problem like this before...

It's not like EA own the servers used, so it would seem to be a supply chain issue, where the contracted suppliers can't meet demand.

Either that or they're being deliberately restricted for some reason.

Sorry for confusion - I was talking about server rental...

Seems supply is really limited, and have to act fast!

Could everyone keep an eye out for me?

Just go into the Store, pick Server rental 90 days, and the locations appear. If Europe isn't in grey, give a shout on here/PM/facebook.

We will get these bloody servers!!!

What?!? Are you guys saying EA can't rent sufficient servers? What spec do they need to be? Can't be that high can it? Guess they would need very good internet access but can't see the server specs needing to be that high. Also why don't companies like EA put money into buying their own infrastructure like google does? It would surely make more sense as they have control over what's happening. Anyone in IT will understand the 'difficulties' you can have when 3rd parties are managing your infrastructure. I can understand for small outfits but EA is massive.

I don't know enough about compooters to know the answer - if they can't provide enough or are choosing to limit supply...

Suppose it's either a supply chain issue, or a technical one. All I know is that there's lego I want to buy, and having PHers cash in my account isn't helping! wink

My view is there are too many private servers! What I mean is that most that exist seem to be empty most of the time which is a real shame, so I think they are deliberately limiting supply.
