NOTE: We will be performing extensive maintenance between 7AM-1PM GMT on August 21 (that's tomorrow 2AM-8AM EST). Battlefield 3 online play will be unavailble during these hours.
We don't know what the maintenance is for, however it is safe to speculate that it is preparing the servers for the Armoured Kill DLC release, the August Bonus Content Drop or fixing server side issues.
During the down time Battlefield 3 multiplayer will be unavailable. Did you plan to play during the scheduled downtime? What do you think the server maintenance is for?
