DICE has announced that effective immediately, they’ve quadrupled the amount of official DICE servers on consoles.

Are you noticing the lack of official DICE servers for Battlefield 3 on consoles? If so, you're not alone. While I like playing 1750 ticket counts of Operation Metro from time to time, it's not fun being kicked and whatnot by unruly server admins from private servers.

Well, lucky for us, DICE has finally listened as they just announced on the official Battlefield Blog that they're quadrupling the official DICE servers on consoles.

We have heard your wish for more official DICE servers. As of now, we have effectively quadrupled them on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Note that you will still be able to get quick matched into any ranked server. For the best results if you want an official DICE server, please refer to the manual server browser and enter “DICE” as a search term. If you go to the Server information screen, all official DICE servers will have the owner set to “DICE”. Remember that you can favorite servers that you like so you can easily find them again on your next session.

As someone who got kicked from private servers when the admins are getting their butt kicked hard, I'm all for this, Of course, this wouldn't be a concern in the first place if DICE didn't take them out when they started their rent-a-server program, no?

Anyone going back to official DICE servers for Battlefield 3 or is it more absurd ticket counts for you?
