Ugh. Bad company 2 did it fine, why not this?! So now we are going to have to tell each other which server to join and risk getting split up or put into entirely different matches. Great.

How could such an important and useful feature for playing friends be so easily overlooked?

Shakes3844d ago

It is different or more difficult than it needs to be but still not that bad. Here's what you do: Just join a server with more empty slots than needed. For instance - you have 4 people all together for your squad. Join a server that says 18/24. Decide who joins first and have that person go ahead and join. Then press the select button to pop up the battlelog screen and go down to that persons name and press "A" to join him.

GarrusVakarian3844d ago (Edited 3844d ago )

Yeah that's pretty much what i would advise to do, the only problem being that it might put you on opposite teams if the team your friend has joined is full, which is a pain in the ***.

How hard can it be to implement a squad party feature? Especially from a company that has done it completely fine before.

They miss out on a critical feature that was in all the previous games, but they do not forget to take out content and sell it to you as DLC.

LOL can't wait to read more of the same. I pre ordered BF3 for the PS3. WOW @ that....the chat didn't even work if you were in a party of more than 2 among many many other things. That was the last DICE game I will EVER buy. Good to see they haven't changed.

inb4 fanboys.

The_KELRaTH3844d ago

And it took 6 months to fix!!

glennco3844d ago

Just wait and buy it down the track cheaper after they have fixed the mess. To ignore it altogether is to just miss out on the fun.

Hufandpuf3844d ago

I always give Dice a few weeks before the get the critical bugs figured out. Ever since Bad company 2 they haven't had a smooth launch since, but in a month the game is usually right as rain.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot773d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250772d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface771d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop772d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno772d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel773d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps772d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888772d ago (Edited 772d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33772d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888772d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH772d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
