Since this patch, we haven't had a full server yet. I haven't played on it, because it now takes 4 people to start, and we usually have at best 3 online together with BF3 right now. Way to go, Dice. You've effectively killed off servers like ours. I understand it was done to curb stat padding, but there's got to be a better way.

Guilty. Haven't played a single round of BF3 since Skyrim came out. This same thing happened with BC2. Server were 1 to start at launch and changed on around the first patch. Really what it should check for is 4 people at the end of the round, not the beginning.

If endround.playercount >= 4 log stats.
else stats = /dev/null

Yes, this would introduce another problem where a 6 person game if the losing team bails before the round ends, the winners could get screwed out of their points. Either way, if you care about stats, someone is always going to be unhappy.

there's a lot of gripe about it on the ea forums and elsewhere, so hopefully it'll get changed again.

I'd like to play Skyrim sometime myself. Too many games, so little time.

Finch has been kind enough to pay for the BF3 sever out of his own pocket. The least we can do is try to get it populated.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pointing fingers at anyone but Dice and EA, these restrictions on the people who pay to rent servers for their game, makes it so we can't even use it. I think if it's changed to unranked, we can start with 2, but the server then wouldn't get populated if people couldn't earn points.

Dice / EA at least they are trying to fix a known issue even though it is killing alot of servers. I just wish there was more of us playing at one time more offten so the wait for others to join would not be an issue.
