With the severs soon shutting down, Battlefield 3 will no longer be playable online for thousands of players worldwide.  Some of us still enjoy hoping on and playing with old friends who we met during our time on this fantastic game. This isn't a petition to keep the servers on, I know they cost money. But to allow us to continue to rent servers by paying for them. Allowing the game and all its content to be accessible should we wish to play. I'm genuinely sad this game is getting shut down. This is THE game that got me into online gaming, and FPS games. It got me through several break ups, the deaths of several friends, losing my job, nights of depression and loneliness. It got me through a big family fallout, and having people i grew up with and loved walk out of my life for selfish reasons. I became friends with people I otherwise never would have met, many of em people from various countries around the world that I still talk to to this day. It has the best maps out of any other BF game I played with my favorite DLC too, Armored Kill. To say I'm gonna miss Battlefield 3 is gonna be an understatement. I hope we get a re-release some day. But until that day, please let us keep our memories alive and continue playing with our friends.
