Battlefield servers are currently offline. I'm sure EA know about it and are working on getting them back up online. Many other gamers are having similar issues too.

I've tried Black ops 3, Battlefield Hardline, and GTA 5. When I try GTA it says it can't connect to the servers. When I try bo3 it keeps me on the connecting to online service and checking files thing forever. And when I try Hardline it says it can't connect
to EA servers right now.

EDIT: it will eventually connect to xbox live, but when i attempt to click on multiplayer or coop, it says "failed to connect to EA online"

should i be posting this on a game specific forum?

EDITx2: it will disconnect me again from xbox live after about 5 minutes
