I could barely find anyone online for Lord of the Rings: Conquest, and that was only a short while after it came out. It was just about impossible to find anyone who played the game Ranked. Besides, would you keep your servers open just so a couple thousand people can get achievements? I wouldn't.

Be reasonable guys.

Well I know there's about 100 people playing Conquest on the PS3 at the same time.

I can always find full games.

Okay, that kind of proved my point. 100 people is pretty insignificant, don't ya think? And they have to close their servers at some point. They can't be up forever.

You are correct, but that only means that games should make all of their achievements get-able offline as well as online and this whole problem would be solved. When it is literally impossible to get them after a certain date, it kind of feels like the makers didn't sell you the whole package.

I think 100 people is a lot lol

I mean servers can support 16 people so as long as there's 16 people playing I don't care ahah

I see your point, however, it was impossible to get many of the online achievements in Lord of the Rings: Conquest anyways (since ranked was barren), and there are many online achievements that would take FOREVER to get anyways (100,000 kills in Gears 1, Veteran rank in Gears 2). The main thing is to just not stress about achievements that much (but that's a lot to ask sometimes, they can be addicting indeed).

This is why i like P2P compared to EA's shitty servers.

 

How long till they shut down BF43? Two or three weeks? 

 

Fuck EA!

 

(end rant)

 

PS-Not like i could play BF43 anyways. Also its not like the game has a SP or something else to do. What a waste of $16.25...

If me and everyone else could log on, then the issue is specific to you, your service, or area. Not with EA and its servers.

And of course you can't play BF, from what I saw of your gameplay anyway.

Well i hate to tell you that its not just me that cant even join a game in BF43, Also i still get black lines in it.  I can play any other game fine with no lag, MAG, Bad company 2, Resistance 2.  

 

And i hate to tell you that im probably high ranking than you in BF43, if you even have it.Its there shitty servers that wont let me play.

 

Oh yeah more proof that its EA shitty servers, check out L4D2 first month. It was a lag fest and it took EA a while to clean it up.

Rank means shit, since it only means you've invested more time into the game. And from the gameplay video you posted of BC2, I'll be really suprised if you can suddenly hit people at point blank range just by switching to 43.

1. Rank does mean shit, because Rank shows how good you are. Durr I can play for four days straight and be low rank, Or i can play for a day and be high rank. It shows how effective you are.

2. That video of BF: BAD company 2, i was playing with ONE hand.

 

Me  - 68907

You -25098

 

That means im twice as good as you are. So if i cant hit anything at point blank than i would hate to see you.

I can't say I feel bad, the game was incredibly shitty.
