How’s the player base for the game?
Looking to pick this game up on the EA app as I’ve heard that the steam version has issues, but I wanted to know if this game has an active player base still? :)

well EU servers get populated every afternoon, there are 3 populated conquest servers, 2 TDM servers, 1 mixed mode server, 1 hardcore server, 2 or 3 Operation Metro only servers, these servers get populated every night. it has around 1000 players every day who mostly use EA Launcher so it's not gonna show up in Steam charts.

welcome to Battlefield 3 then, buy it on EA App since EA hasn't yet fixed the problems that comes with the Steam version ever since they transitioned from Origin to the new EA App.

EDIT 2: nevermind. due to web browser server lists buggy nature you can't actually tell how many players a server has until you join half the time so, ye, idk... maybe rather buy bf4

EDIT: I was wrong. There's over 250 players in 64/48 servers in EU right now so yeah. shouldn't have problem finding a server (there's about a dozen nearly full right now).

About a hundred or two daily on 64 conquest, not counting others. That's usually 1 or 2 full or near full 64 player servers and 1 or 2 semi full or barrly filled 64 player servers. Usually one tdm and one rush server most of the time. And that's about it, not counting some dozen players sitting in empty server doing God knows what.
Also, that's at one time ehen u log in to see. Shouldnt have said daily. Idk what daily count is but it usually sits around 75-250 i think at one current time. Shouldn't be hard to find one or two near full 64 player conquest servers.
Is just that at late night/early morning hours sometimes one team gets rolled as more casual players go to sleep and admins are ass

Every time I try to join a server it loads and then kicks me back to the browser. Any ideas why? Is it because i'm using wifi?
