@Cat_in_The-Box the good news is, live service could actually make older games like this keep their servers up longer. The issue here is that these games no longer make more money than it costs to run the server. Live service allows players to keep games alive by keeping it profitable.

It's only getting shutdown on console, PC BF3, 4 and Hardline will stay up. PS4 and Xbox One is also staying up. Only game console players are really losing is BF3 since it isn't on next gen.
Im gonna miss BF3 very much for ps3. If only a team behind reviving games back from the dead, can revive BF3 servers on ps3 again, maybe just months or years after the shutdown date.
You are making a reasonable argument here, at some point it is valid for devs to shut down the servers. However, the root of the issue is that players are not *able to open their own servers anymore*, unlike in the pre ~2010 era. Luckily Venice Unleashed and Project Rome exist, but devs should just release the dedicated server files, especially when official servers are shut off.

I think it is really sad that on european PC servers for bf3 and 4, they are ruined by corrupt trash admins on the most popular servers that ban anyone calling out their boyfriends who cheat no matter how many people does it. The difference between their click and others gameplay is really visible when they lock onto you regardless of what you do or stand + use every exploit possible with 0 enforcement of rules.
corrupt admins.. Maybe they are just tired of your toxic bs? If ya manage to be nicer and stop accusing everyone who is better than you of being a cheater, you may be able to appeal your ban on Battlefield Agency. You only got 1 more chance tho, the second ban will be a perm ban.
I only got to play like 1 match of Scavenger on Xbox because I was late to the BF3 party. Such a shame I may never get to again. Anyone else miss Aftermath?
This is why fans of _Star Wars: Battlefront II_ fought so hard to have AI bots and Instant Action added to that game. We know it's only a matter of time before the servers are shut down, and the game is gone for good. And unfortunately, not all of the core modes are even supported in Instant Action; most notably Galactic Assault, Starfighter Assault, and Heroes Vs. Villains.
i was not expecting the ending of the video. it sent a wave of emotions through my system, the feelings of nostalgia and the feelings of sadness that it shut down.
I started playing BF4 in 2023 on my ps5 when I boycotted call of duty and bought 2042, 2042 sucked so I bought BF4 and I am playing as I type this. Best game I have ever played. I'm no OG player for sure but I loved this game from the moment I first opened it.
as an OG and one of the many that was even there for the beta. it's the BF that I have the most history and enjoyment with so it's nice to hear new bloods enjoy it too
@@Pizdzirynka1 BF4 not including damavand peak in the second assault was criminal. Rush on that map was the best, cliff jumping to a set of objectives was surreal. Better than firestorm in my opinion.
Literally adding offline bots and direct multiplayer for up to 4 to 6 people without the need for outside servers would mitigate all of this. I still play battlefield 2 to this day because of its awesome single player bots. (And mods)
My best Battlefield memory is from BF3 on PS3. Parachuting in on cargo and I RPG'd a helicopter out of the air as it was about to land on a building and drop off a bunch of guys. It came down on the very edge and the flaming wreckage crashed to the ground as the kill feed lit up. Glorious.
Damn, legitimately sad about BF3. Such a fun game. Played on ps3 all the time. Haven’t played it in a few months. Went to login today and it’s done. All good things come to an end and I’ll always have the memories. Wish I had a PC so I could still play.
It's one thing if they shutdown their own created servers, but it's highly likely they talk about the master/authentication server. If that one shuts down you can not log into the required EA services, which means the server browser will not work anymore. Epic shut down the master server for older Unreal Tournament servers last year and the community had to set up and redirect to a community owned one for the server browser to work again. So the out of the box copy of UT doesn't work for online play anymore. For PC people will probably gravitate towards Venice Unleashed, Project Rome or whatever, as they have the required means for the online portion to work again, but consoles will be left in the dust. PC players will have to tinker a bit to get these games running in the future.

Solomons theme in the background giving them chills. I was 15 years old when i got battlefield 3 beta. The rest is history. I have had insane journey with this came with as much as 5000 hours of rocknroll which sadly came to an end 4 years ago when life got in the way. Every journey has a natural end not matter how great it was. The game is now done for me, but it will stay in my memories as the greatest FPS for me. This game is one of those immortal titles and a standard everyone should look for. To this day, every fps or anything i try i always try to scale it might Bf3. Solomons theme teared me up a bit lol
I bought battlefield 3 10 days ago (november 8th next day after shutdown) on steam due to black friday sale, im kinda newbie but hanging in there, the only thing i dont really like is the length of the game, for tdm we gotta get 1k kills, and for conquest we gotta drain the tickets, but overall it's alright but wish there were more tutorials
I know this is a few weeks old at this point, but holy shit did UA-camrs and news sites go hard with the click bait with this. I don't think I've seen a single headline about this yet that's actually said "PS3 $ XBOX 360 servers." They just wanna scare people into clicking to see if the versions that people actually play are getting shut down.
Bf4 is the best battlefield you can play rn 2042 is boring and I don’t want to play any world war games it sucks to hear these good games being shut down
Battlefield 3, 4, and hardline are not "live service" games, they all have support for proprietary servers, so you cant really argue that they have an "inevitable expiration date." The real reason why EA shut down the online services completely is not because of server cost. It costs EA barely any money for them to host these old servers. They are doing this because they want to force players to buy new games, because EA can't make money off people that play older titles. EA pulls the plug and threaten anyone with lawsuits if they attempt to set up community servers for their games. After knowing all of this, do you really believe EA cares about their customers or making enjoyable games?
You probably need to update the punkbuster anti cheat. Whenever you download the game it installs an outdated version of it and will kick you out of every server after 10 seconds or so
weird, i remember reading bf3 servers were being closed last year, i even tried to play bf3 multiplayer on my ps3 a month ago and it didn't work, am i experiencing shifted realities?
Well, of they make a unilateral decision and deny us the right to play the games we have paid for online, then they have to allow people playing these games on non-official servers or via LAN. Otherwise we should Mass-boycott these greedy companies for the rest of their life time.
I was sad that the bad company games left the consoles cause I was a long time enjoyer with my bros so I downloaded a copy from a guy off discord helping people get it going for pc and made a Venice account for project rome and it’s been the best thing ever , finally getting to experience bad company 2 in proper resolution with 120fps it’s super nice , there’s usually like 4 Active servers with 2 usually full as well it’s awesome , gonna be jumping on multiple times a week
This announcement concludes my interests in EA Games. I will never install or play another EA-related title on my PC ever again. I encourage others to do the same. Trusting EA with anything is a one-way road paved exclusively with greed and leads straight to disappointment.
Posting this here too: I’m hoping to find someone who is still willing to play on PS3 co-op Trying to finish “The Eleventh Hour” co-op mission before PS3 servers close.
Well this is it boys. It´s been an honour playing with you. Well over 2000 hours on Bf 4 on xbox 360. Hundreds of bucks spend on xbox life. Thousands of 24 player conquest games, also rush or gungame from time to time. So many rage quits on good old 24/7 24 player operation locker. So many new friends. Every evening playing with the same comunity, same people. Doing shit and having an absoulut ball on empty servers late in the night. Or just telling funny stories from life with random guys while playing. I started playing bf4 on PC and it can´t be compared to old gen. Not because of the game but because of the comunity. Joined one server and got insta perma ban. Joined another one and got nonstop killed by total sweaty tryhards in 64 player chaos. Where fun? RIP progression, playtime, friends, dog tags, servers...
If you guys want to continue playing older bf3 or 4 just get a cheap pc and play there bf3 will run on a cheap quad core I still run battlefield 2 from 2005 and still get multiplayer games using battlefield 2 hub any day any time basically if I can get that running there should be ways for the others as well don’t give up

7:14 The ending...man... The silence.
Rip gundam evolution at least it functioned unlike the pc version of GBO2 still mad i tried playing it recently and couldn’t get in a match still
Guys, lets just all hope that community revives the games. Lets all hope for good to happen atleast once.
BF2 reigned supreme. Everything since has been a echo of it's greatness.
2142 is just the better bf2
I bought battlefield 3 10 days ago (november 8th next day after shutdown) on steam due to black friday sale, im kinda newbie but hanging in there, the only thing i dont really like is the length of the game, for tdm we gotta get 1k kills, and for conquest we gotta drain the tickets, but overall it's alright but wish there were more tutorials
Rest in Peace: Battlefield Hardline 360 edition. My beginning....
Everyone is failing to mention that this is for Xbox 360 & PS3 servers, not Xbox One & PS4 servers.
Single Player gamer to Multiplayer gamer:
“Wow, sucks to be you.”
Me still playing 2142 with bots for the past 5 years:
That’s crazy
Even all the old COD games have their servers still online. Jesus.
People still play older cods unlike bfs alot of the older bf games are dead
I know this is a few weeks old at this point, but holy shit did UA-camrs and news sites go hard with the click bait with this. I don't think I've seen a single headline about this yet that's actually said "PS3 $ XBOX 360 servers." They just wanna scare people into clicking to see if the versions that people actually play are getting shut down.
shoutout to the future teams that will find ways of keeping these great games alive so others do for so many others
Bf4 is the best battlefield you can play rn 2042 is boring and I don’t want to play any world war games it sucks to hear these good games being shut down
I refuse to give up my Xbox one, lotta cherished memories
really is an end of an era ngl
I loved 3
Isn't there a movement gaining traction aimed at giving multiplayer games offline support for when these server shutdowns inevitably happen?
Man you could feel the last clip.
Battlefield 3, 4, and hardline are not "live service" games, they all have support for proprietary servers, so you cant really argue that they have an "inevitable expiration date."
The real reason why EA shut down the online services completely is not because of server cost. It costs EA barely any money for them to host these old servers. They are doing this because they want to force players to buy new games, because EA can't make money off people that play older titles. EA pulls the plug and threaten anyone with lawsuits if they attempt to set up community servers for their games. After knowing all of this, do you really believe EA cares about their customers or making enjoyable games?
Diddy😂
any tips on how to get BF3 to run on PC? i am never abel to get into multiplayer matches
You need origin acount and battlelog in your browser. Just log in. If not you need update you browser or else
You probably need to update the punkbuster anti cheat. Whenever you download the game it installs an outdated version of it and will kick you out of every server after 10 seconds or so
weird, i remember reading bf3 servers were being closed last year, i even tried to play bf3 multiplayer on my ps3 a month ago and it didn't work, am i experiencing shifted realities?
Use server browser not that quick match gotta find the right filter settings and make sure you refresh
Well, of they make a unilateral decision and deny us the right to play the games we have paid for online, then they have to allow people playing these games on non-official servers or via LAN.
Otherwise we should Mass-boycott these greedy companies for the rest of their life time.
Battlefield 2 bad company, Battlefield 3 were legendary back in my day. Damn.
Nov 5th 2024, less then 48 hours til shutdown
Lets all hop on?
I started bf3 like a month ago because it was in the game pass, and I really liked the online modus . Now I’m sad 😢
Resr in peace 3 and the 360/ps3 version of 4 and hardline
I'm a simple guy, I see Chito and I click/also like.
that end shot is sad
1:03 "these fossils"
what are you? 13?
I was sad that the bad company games left the consoles cause I was a long time enjoyer with my bros so I downloaded a copy from a guy off discord helping people get it going for pc and made a Venice account for project rome and it’s been the best thing ever , finally getting to experience bad company 2 in proper resolution with 120fps it’s super nice , there’s usually like 4 Active servers with 2 usually full as well it’s awesome , gonna be jumping on multiple times a week
It doesnt matter if it is old i want my games
This announcement concludes my interests in EA Games. I will never install or play another EA-related title on my PC ever again.
I encourage others to do the same. Trusting EA with anything is a one-way road paved exclusively with greed and leads straight to disappointment.
next you’re going to tell me that they’re going to shut down battleborn
they better not touch my precious Battlefield 4 on pc. I will riot. I play all the time
The server shutdown/delisting is only for Xbox 360 & PS3, so PC and current-gen console ports are safe for now; RIP BF3 on console though :(
If modern audience is going to experience BF2 with a new engine.. they will be blown away....
Posting this here too:
I’m hoping to find someone who is still willing to play on PS3 co-op
Trying to finish “The Eleventh Hour” co-op mission before PS3 servers close.

@ thanks!

Well this is it boys. It´s been an honour playing with you. Well over 2000 hours on Bf 4 on xbox 360. Hundreds of bucks spend on xbox life. Thousands of 24 player conquest games, also rush or gungame from time to time. So many rage quits on good old 24/7 24 player operation locker. So many new friends. Every evening playing with the same comunity, same people. Doing shit and having an absoulut ball on empty servers late in the night. Or just telling funny stories from life with random guys while playing.
I started playing bf4 on PC and it can´t be compared to old gen. Not because of the game but because of the comunity. Joined one server and got insta perma ban. Joined another one and got nonstop killed by total sweaty tryhards in 64 player chaos. Where fun?
RIP progression, playtime, friends, dog tags, servers...
I find it weird that BF4 has arguably the worse gunplay in battlefield but damn everything else about was slapping.
If you guys want to continue playing older bf3 or 4 just get a cheap pc and play there bf3 will run on a cheap quad core
I still run battlefield 2 from 2005 and still get multiplayer games using battlefield 2 hub any day any time basically
if I can get that running there should be ways for the others as well don’t give up
As someone who played bf4 on ps4 i have to say i loved it and played it alot and it played very smooth. Ffs 😢
My bet is BF3 and Hardline will die together. Around December of 2025, buried beneath news about BF2025's live service. I will be there for both games

I am getting used to not buying games that devs do not want me to own.
on pc i still play battlefield3 and 4 more then shittyfield2042
Idk why I just can't fall in love with new games as I did with BF4... it was first sight bro 700 hours Ps3, 300 on PS4
Damn that ending is kind of spooky lmao
I only played Battlefield 3, 4 and Hardline. It was fun at first, but like you said, there's so many other FPS games that's killing the competition, like Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty, Star Wars Battlefront, etc.
community servers people !!! this is why you always demand Community servers
battlefield 3 man….. i consistently play it on xbox 360 and have friends that do too. this hurts
So thats why my Battlefeild 3 online on Series S won't go online
Yup
They need to do what call of duty does they still have black ops 1 severs up
People actually play older cods most older bf games are dead
@@Aqzwdead cus they be running all the players out
