CristianX-97 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I know servers are still up, but is it true that there's only 4 active servers at any moment? How does that work anyways? I have 4 PS3's to myself, and maybe considering to try this in the future, because I feel any day now they might announce a server shutdown on the game. Someone who's Platinumed the game recently, please give me your thoughts and opinions. Hopefully someone actually responds though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy_IV Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Iw heard EA is closing old games like in June this year. So i guess you better do this before that time too be sure But damn 4 ps3's is alote. You can probalby get alote by doing that. But there is an award that you need to kill 5 players in 2 seconds. So everything else you can do i guess. Just very hard cuz the servers are very active agein. Duo too closure this year And this would take you a month or more if starting it now Edited February 27, 2018 by Tomy_IV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go fetch it, did not save the url. It's on my work laptop, I get it later. I-Stats is gone since a few days ago and they will remove online for games that used the service. That's all I remember. Edited February 27, 2018 by NightRusticDawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Joker88 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There are two game modes online (goldrush and conquest) and for both modes only 2 maps each are stable. If you open a 3rd goldrush map for example and join with your 4 accounts the match will start. But crash after a few min (2-3 min i think). No progress is saved when your kicked. But i am pretty sure i killed one enemy, left tha match and my progress was saved Only solution to play was join a nearly full lobby (24 is max). Big problem is getting all medals/patches/trophies (120 in total). I recommend 3 real players to most of them but only for one you need 5 players/accounts. Those are the real problem here I did all online stuff last year from spring to fall. In spring we could play even on ~ 10 people lobbies which was much better for me. Killing up to 10k enemies in full lobbies was stressful. Very stressful. For me at least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro_Gear Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 @NightRusticDawn interesting. Thanks for looking into that. Could have other ramifications then. I wonder how many games use this service. Hard to find much on it during my quick search. Let me know if you find anything please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImStylinOnYaBro Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 not true about lobbies crashing. between me and my two mates we currently have 6 accounst, but can do 10 maximum if we wanted. we inflated a lobby and started a new one. however, within like 3 minutes randoms were already joining and instead of 1 large lobby, it was 2 medium sized ones. it is an aboslute nightmare. although, if servers will be closing in june, i will not bother because it will take ages to boost with all the no-life pros on the game.

Floriiss Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'd say you've got a fair shot at it. Especially with multiple systems.. that definitely gives you the upper hand when it comes down to boosting the wildcards. Like mentioned before some of the wildcards do require more than 4 players so that might be an issue, but other than that you shouldn't have too much trouble with getting the remaining ones. Personally I wouldn't recommend grinding the 10.0002 kills out. It seems such a hassle trying to get a full lobby with boosters and it's a lot more fun when doing it the normal way. If you're good at the game you can get around 50-70 kills each round. Back in the day I was able to rack up somewhere around 500-1000 kills on a single day. But then the servers were a lot more crowded and chances are that only veterans play it nowadays.. Luckily, in most cases, EA announced their server shutdowns several months beforehand. I'd say this platinum can be obtained in several weeks if you'd go all in for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
