Same here Mav

The server costs are listed below:

1 MONTH : $25
2 MONTHS: $50
3 MONTHS: $75

Please let me know who is in for contributions if we have enough we can get a longer period.

I'll get in the next couple weeks. I used to play it on PC and had a great time

lol

im pissed i sold the f'n game now that everyone is hopping on the bandwagon months later

The absolutely brutal matchmaking in MW3 over the weekend might have been the last straw for me...

So, I saw McMalice mention needing to put in a DLC code and a multiplayer code...? Is this one of those games that has a 'one-time use' code to get access to the multiplayer servers? If I buy pre-owned, will I need to pay for a code to play MP?

Yes if you buy pre-owned you'll need the EA online pass which i believe is $9.99.

You can get it for 800 points... and thats 9.99 lol

all EA games require you to pay for "online" access if you purchased used

i was half tempted - i saw bf3 used on amazon for 20 bucks

you have to remind me - is the dlc extra in bf3? are you guys playing dlc maps?

There are 2 dlc's available. One is bf2 maps and one is close quarters, neither of which we play much.

let me ask you this - if i bought bf3 new months ago and returned it

if i buy another copy used (off craigslist) do i need to repurchase anything? shouldnt i already have the multiplayer and karkland authentication token on my xbox from previously?

Not sure about the multiolayer pass but any dlc you buy on xbl you own for life

well the keyboard jockey i spoke to online from EA says the code is tied to the disc - i somehow find that hard to believe

i distinctfully remember when you activate any of those codes it downloads a small file to your xbox - if that file is there (which I haven't deleted anything) in theory it should work

edit: read on another forum these online codes are tied to your xbl profile thats how they limit the one time use - so all my shit should still be there cha ching saved 800 ms points

p.s. fuck ea and their shit live chat support.....rebuy the code they say....pffff

Theory aside. You purchase said items on your xbox live gamertag. I cannot see it being coded by the disk at all.
