ROFL - I read that today:

Battlefield 3 PC version won’t have in-game server browser - Battlefield 3

The tables have turned. A day after we gladly reported that console gamers would be getting this great PC feature called “server browser”, we can now report that PC gamers won’t have an in-game server browser. DICE’s Alan Kertz has confirmed that in order to switch servers, you have to exit Battlefield 3, and use Battlelog to find another server and join.

Granted, Kertz points out that BF3 “starts up really fast”, but we can’t imagine it being more effective than having an in-game server browser, which has been the norm in PC games for decades — in fact, there’s no other game that requires you to exit in order to switch servers.

Considering that server switching is frequent among gamers, either because of rage quitting or trying to find a better game, or something third, this could cause some annoyance. We’ll have to wait and see how it plays out (no pun intended) when Battlefield 3 is released. So far, it’s kinda disappointing news, but we’ll see how it turns out in the end.

Console gamers now have in-game server browser, while PC gamers don’t. Oh the irony.

Glad I'll only be playing on one server then.

if you were in the alpha, it's really ok they way its intergrated, it just as fast. it a nice lay out too you can see your firends and server data all in one place. but it does need origin and it does show banner sales ad's etc etc..

if i recall there was problems with chrome and firefox thou. i dunno why we keep the tears going on this stuff, TBH I think most of this is moot and a small price to pay.

however.....overpromised and underdelivered still looms in the back of my mind.

I'll swallow some changes as the long as the GAMEPLAY is solid.

No steam,FX, Origin, Sever browsers, ads, no commander (Ok, still not convinced on that one.) I can deal with, as long as this is the TRUE heir to BF2.

From what I've read its really not a big deal and everyone who has played the alpha has said the way they set up the web server browser works fine. The only people that I've seen go "lol game sucks no browser" are people that haven't even played it and only read the headline of the article.

Wait to play the game before you say this the worst thing ever, considering how sluggish recent bf game server browsers have been I'd say this might actually be an improvement.
