WRUP: Battlefear 3
Will the Battlefield 3 servers work this weekend? Will Origin remain operational? Can EA/DICE not screw up a Battlefield launch for once?
What's everyone playing while the servers are down?
Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Trying to determine my feelings on Battlefield 3. Finally did the ludicrous port thing recommended by EA and it seemed to make a difference. When open NATs and DMZ aren't enough.
Arthur Gies (@Aegies): I've got to put some major time into Assassin's Creed: Revelations this weekend, since it's that time of year. When I'm not doing that, or hating Justin McElroy, I'll probably fling myself against the rocks of Battlefield 3's server issues.
Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): I'd play Battlefield 3 if I could (no, not single-player, stop it), but I'll likely be falling back on all these other triple-A games instead. Dipping my toe into Batman, still loving Forza 4 (it's an RPG! seriously!), and escaping the Ark into Rage's wasteland.
Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): With the final Riddler challenge completed in Arkham City, I think it's time for me to put Batman away and spend some more time with Battlefield. Now, about those multiplayer servers ...
David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): Halloween in the city this weekend means I'll likely be hitting up a few parties and neglecting my Okama Gamesphere. If I do manage to get some gaming in, it'll probably be the usual suspects: Gears 3, Batman and Battlefield 3.
Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): Til' the day I die, I'm gonna touch the sky. (Rim.)
JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): I'm going to keep playing Batman: Arkham City, and WB's going to keep being glad I didn't review it.
Jess Conditt (@JessConditt): [...]
Jordan Mallory (@Jordan_Mallory): [...]
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): Prediction: I'll play Pixeljunk Sidescroller and Battlefield 3 all weekend long! Reality: Riddler trophies forever.
Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): In between Halloween parties, I'll be getting further along in Batman, and also learning how to play Starcraft 2. I got outright embarrassed at BlizzCon in multiplayer last week, so I need to sit down and figure out this whole "RTS genre" thing.
Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM): While I'd like to get some Battlefield 3 in, I've got a Halloween shindig to go to. So that probably means The Dark Meadow on iPhone and maybe some Dance Central.
Steven Wong: If the servers allow, I'll try to get in some time with Battlefield 3. Otherwise, I'll be getting into the Halloween spirit with Killing Floor.
