Strangers can be jerks. Granted, they can be cool, too, but if youāre competing in an online shooter, chances are that theyāre jerks. And sometimes you have to play with them.
But now that Battlefield 3 server rentals will be going live for the Xbox 360, youāll be able to control who you play with. Itās been active on PCs and launched the PS3 last week. On the Xbox, the cost of a rental starts at $1.50 (or 120 Microsoft Points) per day and a monthās rental will run you $25/2000 MSP. Server leasees will be able to name specific users as VIPs, letting them jump to the top of the queue. Youāll also get the usual admin powers of kicking and banning jerks off your virtual property. The new functionality comes via a huge patch that fixes loads of issues in EAās marquee FPS series
So, if you and your buddies have got specific match types or maps that you like to stick to, you can pool your cash and rent a Battlefield 3 playground of your very own.
