Updates

What changed on the servers, newest first.

2026-10-12

Your clan tag sticks. Before, the tag you set was gone the next time you signed in.
Joining a full server puts you in a queue. You stay on the joining screen and get in when a slot opens, where before it ended in "connection lost". If the queue is full too, the game tells you the server is full.
If you sign in with the same account on another console, the first one now tells you it was signed out because of multiple sign ins. Before, it just said the connection was lost.
Banned accounts get the game's "account banned" message when they try to sign in, instead of a generic error.

Everyone can play the VIP maps now. The game wont ask you for VIP codes anymore and the VIP maps show up in Play Now. Conquest goes from 4 maps to 11. Before, every code ended in "redeem failed". If you cancelled the box, restart the game and it asks again.
If you own the SPECACT add-on, its four guns now work in a match. They used to show in Weapons and Gadgets but were missing from kit selection. Now you can pick them and you spawn holding them.
Fixed the server freezes that kicked everyone mid-round. On your end it looked like your PS3 lost its Wi-Fi. It happened when someone picked up certain dropped shotgun kits and reloaded.

Vietnam: Hill 137, Vantage Point, Cao Son Temple, Phu Bai Valley and Operation Hastings in Rush, Conquest, Squad Rush and Squad Deathmatch. You need the Vietnam add-on on your PS3. How to play it is on the Play page.
Bonus XP events work on Vietnam servers too. A bonus can also run on just one game, and the news line then says which.
Play Now finds a game for every map you pick. Until now, maps like Arica Harbor and Port Valdez Conquest, Atacama Desert and White Pass Rush, Oasis, Heavy Metal and the squad maps found nothing unless you chose Any.
Fixed the crash that stopped the Rush server when a player joined a friend's game from the friends list.

2026-10-07

Squad voice chat is back.
The kill cam is back, and the spawn screen shows your squad mate's view again instead of just their marker on the map.
Assault rifles with a red dot or 4x scope spawn with the 40mm grenade launcher instead of C4.
Play Now uses the map you pick. It only puts you on a server running that map, and picks the busier one if several match.

2026-10-05

Dog tags you take with the knife now stay in Stats > Dog Tags; before, every sign-in wiped them. Older tags weren't saved, so your list starts today.
Won rounds should no longer show YOU LOSE (it happened mostly in Rush). Tell us if you still see it.
Fixed Squad Rush and Squad Deathmatch crashing on some kit picks, which dropped everyone on the server. You also spawn with the kit you picked now.

2026-10-04

The server moved to dedicated CPUs. That fixed the laggy "jelly" movement and players getting dragged back.
Friends show as online, and you can invite them or join their game.
Hit detection now uses the same head and body hit areas as EA's PS3 servers.

2026-10-03

Shots on moving targets register now.
R3 toggles crouch like it did on the original servers.
You get the END OF ROUND screen (stats, unlocks, scoreboard) after every round.
Getting into the Vodnik on Port Valdez no longer disconnects everyone.
The server no longer moves players to the other team mid-round. New players still join the smaller team.
Added Hardcore servers. Pick Hardcore in Play Now to find them.
Added Squad Rush and Squad Deathmatch.

2026-10-02

The server is open to everyone. Sign in with PSN on a real PS3 or with RPCN on RPCS3; you don't need an EA account.
All 22 Rush and Conquest maps, on one Rush and one Conquest server.
Play Now puts you on a server running the mode you picked.
Rank, unlocks and stats are saved, and the leaderboards work.
Rush attackers start with 75 tickets, same as on PS3.
Tank turrets and barrels don't jerk when you aim.
A server that freezes restarts by itself.
Every game region can sign in, US discs included.
