Subject: Should I Get Battlefield 3 Premium

i didn't get BF3 when it came out and it sounds good to get all the DLC in one go but the more i research it sounds like the multiplayer has been shot to hell because of rent a servers and admins who ban you because you kill them during gameplay

i would just like a second opinion that's all

I've never run into admins who abuse their power. Usually they are just run by clans who have automated ban programs for profanity/restricted items/etc

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

I had discussed the same dilemma a couple of days ago on the Flood also, OP. I went with Far Cry 3 instead.

Yes. It's an awesome game.

I liked it but its impossible to find a dice server now.

The only times I've run into abusive admins was after the rent a server started. It's been months since I've been kicked/banned. So I wouldn't worry about that OP.

Also, if you're going to get it now I would suggest the Premium Edition. As I understand it, it comes with Premium.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

Premium edition is a good buy, Multiplayer is great fun. Admin abuse is pretty common but can be avoided if you only play official servers.

Questions for clarification.

OP, what platform would you play on?

People responding, how bad is admin abuse and on what platform?

I got these cheeseburgers man....

Buy the Premium Edition of BF3. It comes with Premium, and some other stuff.

Great game

Abuse isn't bad on Xbox, or at least it isn't for me. Most of the time, Abuse is exaggerated.

Admin Abuse is widespread and frustrating on all Platforms.
3/5 Games end with a 'You have been kicked by an immature 12 year old' message.

Dice owned servers are fine though

its an awful generic shooter. Buy a game thats worth the money.

I got it; it is a deal if you are planning on getting all of the DLC, plain and simple. Plus they throw in a little extra stuff like camos and early access.

If you don't like an admin, you can always quit and search for official DICE servers through the search filter. DICE runs official servers for all DLC map rotations as well as vanilla BF3 maps.

But that is simply untrue. I can only speak for the Xbox 360 version, but it has been a long time since I have been kicked/banned.

I'm right there with Rogue. It's extremely rare that I get rage-kicked/banned on 360, and that percentage only decreases more if you play on the same server frequently or if you favorite good servers.
