Servers are offline bro the magic is over, it was a crazy ride..

A lotta people say you can play pc, but its just not the same

Also dont play cod, hacker use security leaks in older CoD titles to breach into your private stuff like ur private ip

BF3 on PS3 is actually not that bad, it holds 30FPS for the majority of the campaign and for it’s time looks allright

Multiplayer is still active trough BF3 reborn but you need to mod your PS3 to play it, i played it 2 days ago and there is like 30 people still living the dream :D

Obviously the best way to experience BF3 is PC

Are you sure you have to mod your PS3? I thought it was just a DNS address change?

oh man thanks for the good news :),i have a weak laptop and i bought bf3 but i couldnt play because of the space, i dont have enough,i though why not buy a ps3 for now so i can have fun and then maybe a year later buy a better laptop and enjoy the game

You could buy a second hand pc instead

Depends on your case, you need the online pass thing, store was taken down so you need to mod the ps3 in order to install it.

If you played BF3 in the past with the same account you dont need it as it remembers you.

But many people dont have it so they need at least HEN.

Otherwise it’s simple DNS change
