Let's admit it: Battlefield 3 had a shaky start when it comes to its online component, with the first week of its release having been plagued with a ton of downed servers and constant lag. Well, you can now stay up to date with the game's server status by visiting the Current Server Status page--a page that shows the current status of each system's server.
The page auto-refreshes every 60 seconds, so you won't miss a beat if you're itching to play. Also, this keeps you from spamming the Battlefield Twitter with complaints and questions.
