No Battlefield 3 Private Match For Consoles On Launch

Recently, all eyes for Battlefield 3 have been on console for the most part since people have been getting them in stores early. Thus causing a big uproar in leaks in the singleplayer, to the multiplayer. But there have been some small features that some people what to know about. 

One of those things is Private matches, making gamebattles quite easy as well as for just messing around with friends, it has been a staple for FPS games only recently. But Battlefield has never really have a good private match interface and it had been much unused in DICE's previous Battlefield Bad Company 2. Reasons why it wasn't used much pointed to it only supporting a minimum of 4 people on each team just to get the game started.

Well today, we know why we have never seen anything about Battlefield 3 private matches. The DICE Global Community Manager, Daniel Matros responded to a tweet asking him "make this easy.. Private matches (will/will not) be in day 1.. please chose one ;) <3 U". Daniel replied back stating, "Private matches not on launch for consoles.". This is very disappointing to hear since there are quite a few hardcore gamebattles players on console, and I don't know how they'll be able to play. 
Yet, private match defiantly won't be out of the game for long. DICE will most likely updating Battlefield 3 many times next month, which will probably be when we see private matches. But PC players still have their private match and that's all that matters, right (sarcasm)?

Tell us what you think about consoles not getting private matches until a later update in the comments below. If you would like to stay the most up to date with Battlefield 3 follow our feed or follow us on twitter @battlefieldlog.
