Battlefield 3 Is Free on Origin

[Diesal]

It's Christmas again if you don't have BF3, get it on Origin so we can fill up those servers again.

I was really surprised to see EA offer BF3 for free...I wonder why...

First Dead Space, then Plants VS Zombies now its BF3...I wonder what will be next...

Probably to attract interest as the next Battlefield has been announced, releasing this year.

Nice find. Are there still BF3 servers around?

 

[Electric]

I already own 3 freaking copies

They're hoping you would still buy the expansions afterwards, some money at least, its ALWAYS about money with EA.

Like anyone actually still plays this.

Yes, and still most enjoyable!

Makes a great benchmark too

People actually do? I thought everyone would just move over to the next game once it released, like they did with Bad Company 2. Bad Company 2 was practically dead when BF3 released.

In Asia, hardly any bf4 players but bf3 still goes strong with about 200-300 players per night

they say BF3 is a lot less broken than BF4... thoughts?

SA servers are occasionally dead

Lets put it this way, BF3 isnt broken at all.

Well I was planing on playing BF4 this afternoon after work... Guess I will be downloading my FREE copy of BF3 and testing this theory. By "occasionally dead" how often are you unable to play on SA servers?

He probably meant dead as in no players. Not dead as in not working...

I have a copy of BF3 laying about somewhere. May fire it up again. Was waiting to buy BF4 once all the issues have been sorted. But seems like even EA gave up on BF4, since BF5 is coming out this year

It's never dead in the evenings - ever.

BF4 is not unplayable... but its not amazing either! Still worth some time, not sure if would go out and buy it. Perhaps it to will be free on orgin in coming months.
