That's pretty bad, but it's not surprising that a big launch causes server issues. BF4 had them and that had a much smaller player count than the number of people turning their playstations on. What matters more is how the company handles it afterwards and hopefully sony are able to do a better job than Rockstar. Although that's not difficult to top...

[quote]BF4 had them[/quote] I don't recall any issues with the BF4 launch nor have I heard of any until now. They must have been extremely isolated.
-
They had a few server capacity problems to start with but by the time Europe got it they were mostly fixed. It's had quite a few glitches/issues with the multiplayer game itself but it's to be expected from DICE. At least there is no USAS-12 or Molemen running around under the maps so far haha.

Edited by Lord Commissar: 11/15/2013 5:56:59 PMI live in the US, picked it up at midnight on the way from work, and my friends and I had no issues at all with it. I really don't know what you're talking about with server capacity problems. Once again, this is the first I've heard of this. I was completely unaware that anyone was having day one problems.
-
Sorry I meant connection not capacity. I'm not quite with it at the moment. Some people were struggling to connect to their servers. I would say I need some coffee but it makes me feel sick :c Not many people have had problems with it, I've had maybe 5 crashes in 40 hours of gameplay and only had connection issues once.

Mine likes to freeze loading the map sometimes :\
-
Yeah I get that on Hainan and Dawnbreaker 50/50 chance to freeze, although a patch is due soon and they did more updates yesterday so hopefully it's getting to a more stable game. Just in time for me to move to the other console lol >.<

I haven't put nearly enough time into it as I'd have liked to. I wanted to play commander mode sooooo much, but I'm only a level 3 for 40 minutes of gameplay. I just wanna skip to a level 10.
-
Heh :c Commander is pretty cool, but I wouldn't kill yourself trying to get to it. It will certainly be better on Next Gen/PC because you will have 32 Soldiers under your command rather than 12. You've got a better chance of some players not being window lickers and mouth breathers .-. I'm currently on a 9 Loss Streak because I've been playing with randoms >:[ I'm still doing well but I can't carry them all in my backpack D: Commander vs Commander basically becomes UAV/Counter UAV Chess with the occasional Missile/Gunship to deploy haha.

Some people having difficulty connecting isn't the same as an entire system being down. Some isolated cases of people having difficulty connecting is expected, it's part of the whole day one performance issues for an online network thing. The whole thing just flat out not working however isn't acceptable.

I do agree, it's not a great show on Sony's part. I probably should have just left the comparison with Rockstar's abysmal launch for GTA Online.
