As good as online gaming has gotten on consoles such as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, unfortunately at times console owners get dumbed-down versions of multiplayer matchmaking. Usually you can do a "quick match", or search for a game by a few options, but getting a full list of active servers is often not an option like on the PC versions of games.
Today, however, the official Battlefield Twitter account brought us great news: the console versions of Battlefield 3 will have a server browser, meaning you'll be able to see all of the games going on and pick the one that best suits what you're looking for. Awesome news!
