The new “Matches” feature for Battlefield 3 goes live today, bringing with it greater control for players who rent their own server.

The feature “will allow players to coordinate competitive multiplayer sessions with their friends and squad members. Battlefield 3 players will be able to select the time, server, game settings, and roster for their Matches creating a controlled and definitive environment for competitive play,” according to DICE.

It allows server hosts to customize the match name, start time, game mode, team size, and map rotations. It is a completely free update, and will be available across all platforms via Battlelog. More details can be found here.

Will you make use of the feature?
