Telkom, EA investigating SA Battlefield 3 console servers

During a rAge 2012 interview, DICE Battlefield 3 community manager Daniel Matros indicated that there is a possibility of dedicated Battlefield 3 servers for SA’s console gamers.

“I was actually at the data centre for Telkom. So me and Ralph Spinks from EA South Africa, we’re talking right now. We’re going to start a thread and try and get Telkom onboard. It’s a third party solution, so, Telkom needs to be satisfied with what they have and what they’re giving us. We have to be satisfied with what they’re giving us. But then you have to go to Microsoft and Sony as well, and see what they say. It’s a very big project,” said Matros.

“Basing a server count on servers is usually what we do and we might have to go and re-evaluate how many active console players South Africa Actually has. I’m not in on the RSP debate right now and will take a look when I get back home. I’m thinking you guys have increased a lot since Bad Company 2, so there’s definitely a valid investigation,” concluded Matros.
