Good news everyone! We now have our own Battlefield 3 server on Xbox 360! The server name is: GameInformer Community Server. We have the server for 90 days so please use it a lot! The more you play, the better spent my money is.

What it is - Right now the server is unranked and set to cycle through Conquest maps with Jets and Helicopters. Use this time to practice your flight skills, buddy up with other GIO members, and have fun without fear of ruining your stats.
What it will be - Eventually the server will be switched over to Ranked. I'll change up the maps and game modes based on demand. If you want to give feedback or make requests for the server please join the official battlefield group here on GIO.
VIP - Unfortunately the VIP list is capped at 20. I'll be adding players to the VIP list at my discretion.
Rule - Be excellent to each other. The simple fact you are old enough to read this means you are old enough to know what it means to play nice. The server is not private. Anyone outside of Gameinformer.com can find it, join up and play; but its our name on the server. Remember your actions speak for all of us. Yes I have the ability to ban players.
Reporting Hackers or Cheaters - DO NOT REPORT THEM TO ME! Do one of the following
- Report at this URL: http://getsatisfaction.com/battlefield3/topics/dice_please_ban_these_hackers
- Report Via Profile - Visit the users battlelog profile, click the report "exclamation" mark symbol at the top-right of their page, and fill it in with the reason for reporting them. You can submit links to videos or Battle reports in which you suspect the user to be cheating.(direct report)

Please spread the word! This server is open to everyone for the next 3 months! Expect a frag fest in the future. To keep up to date on the server, give feedback and make requests please join the Official Battlefield Group here on GIO.

Thank you all for being the best gaming community on the whole wide web. (Thats what www stands for!) I'll see you all on the battlefield!

Nicely done! Seems the demand for servers was much higher than DICE anticipated with how quickly the initial batch sold out.

Even though i have 3 service stars in the jet, I seem to be handicapped because every video I see of someone in a jet I feel like im doing the exact same thing, only i dont get the same result. Id like to know wtf is going on with that.

And warbuff is officially cool. Awesome stuff man, you're actually making me consider buying back BF3 just for this.

Warbuff was no doubt officially cool before this... I'm seeing this awesomness as more of a rank up. Thanks Warbuff. Party on and be Excellent to eachother.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and thank you even more for playing! I got online for about an hour last night and we almost had a full server! Be sure to add it to your favorites as I'll be updating the server frequently!

I went ahead and added some variety to the server this morning. I was annoyed that in order to have Wake Island Conquest I'd have to use the server preset Epic battles that only has the 5 maps. The server has 9 maps now, but only 1 of them is Back to Karkand. Sharqui Peninsula is the only Karkand map it would let me choose for Conquest. I'll be hitting up the DICE forums to today to find out why.
