If you haven't noticed there are a few Battlefield 3 servers that have a huge user player count to them. These are apparently non sanctioned EA servers that are stat padding and are also getting user information without EA consent, at least that is what I gather from the official thread post in Battlelog forums.
Quote:
We are aware that a number of servers have appeared and are running game modes and player counts that have not currently been seen. Please try to remain on official servers.
Official servers run the following configuration
Max Players: 32
Map: Operation Metro
Mode: RUSH
Please avoid temptation and remain on these official servers while we work to have these servers dealt with.
Playing on those servers can cause your account to become compromised, stats to be altered or other issues to arise which may lead to having your account banned by EA.
EDIT: It appears that the server side information has been leaked and people are creating random servers and tweaking the settings to pad stats.
I wouldn't play on those servers. This is from EA/Enter BF3:
I liked the BFBC2 menus better as well, sucks having to wait till you can spawn to change your loadout ect.
I feel like that's just a beta "feature"
Yeah not having the ability to do anything between matches really sucks. Also not accessing menus of any kind while dead is a little ridiculous. I dunno if I am in the majority here or not but I really am not a fan of a browser based game menu and having to minimize my game or break full screen any time I want to do something :/
I hope it is just a beta feature. It would be nice to be able to setup everything before you enter a server.

Appears the PC servers are down right now. Way to go EA. (Not a happy camper)
