BF3 + PC = No Server Browse???? Are you f'en serious? I mean seriously WTF DICE!

First my Steam is not getting supported, (you know the program I used to buy PC games from the DAY it came out) now no server browse, they are almost making me get the console version.

You know one of the best perks for PC gaming is the server browse in 'almost' ALL FPS's, I mean back in the day it was one of the main things that separated PC's from Consoles for FPS's (- the mouse keyboard thing lol)

Now consoles get Server Browsers for BF3, but not for PC?

I'm just waiting for an article talking about 'Dice Dev miss quoted' meaning maybe you have to exit your current 'Match' not Game and that BF3-PC will have server browse.

Read article below.

The tables have turned. A day after we gladly reported that console gamers would be getting this great PC feature called “server browser”, we can now report that PC gamers won’t have an in-game server browser. DICE’s Alan Kertz has confirmed that in order to switch servers, you have to exit Battlefield 3, and use Battlelog to find another server and join.

Granted, Kertz points out that BF3 “starts up really fast”, but we can’t imagine it being more effective than having an in-game server browser, which has been the norm in PC games for decades — in fact, there’s no other game that requires you to exit in order to switch servers.

Considering that server switching is frequent among gamers, either because of rage quitting or trying to find a better game, or something third, this could cause some annoyance. We’ll have to wait and see how it plays out (no pun intended) when Battlefield 3 is released. So far, it’s kinda disappointing news, but we’ll see how it turns out in the end.

Console gamers now have in-game server browser, while PC gamers don’t. Oh the irony.
