It's utter crap, why they've done it I'd love to know.

There doesn't seem to be anyway of choosing a normal server now so it's potluck what you end up on.

I'd not be as annoyed but I had to buy a new hd especially to get that download...

Money?

I'm loathe to get annoyed about a game but it does take the piss. Apart from being randomly booted/banned there's also the the 1000 vs. 100 ticket matches so the owner always wins.

Yup clearly a money thing as you have to "rent" a server! There should still be random ea servers doing miscellaneous games! I've just switched it off in a huff as the opposing team had 10 out of 12 top rank players on their team!

Just downloading it now. I tried to ignore it, but when trying to join a game it kept saying 'can't find a server to join'

I'm guessing I need to have this update to continue playing online. Anyone know this for certain??

You will eventually find a game without the download but it takes a while.

I reckon it's time to trade it in.

On the ps3, presumably xbox too, you can select ea servers if you go to the server browser option

Some of the the private servers are pretty good depending on what options the admin has set it up with - mix of game modes / maps or higher ticket count. Just had a game of conquest assault and the game lasted nearly 2 hours!

Welcome to the world of online gaming. It's one of the downside of PC gaming as must severe are private but what happens is soon the bad servers have very few players. Find a good moded server and bookmark it, be friendly to everyone and you will be made welcome by the admins.

There's this thing called "SERVER BROWSER". Use it to find Dice Servers. The quick match will most likely get fixed so it just joins dice servers.

God it's like idiocracy.

Rent a server is the best thing that's happened to the console version, it's brought some variety....like pistols only or Metro without the irritating automatic shotguns loaded with high explosive fragmentation rounds.

The EA severs are back on the server browser now, not just the custom ones.
