I thought that this was quite interesting and a big thanks to my fellow commenter for bring this to our attention. Apparently Gamespy.com has listed Battlefront 3 in their game lobby.
I have a program called GsList that allows me to see the servers for every game run by GameSpy so I can basically see the lobbies for them. Like I used it to see what servers were online and how many players were in them for SWBF2.
I decided to check it out today and to my surprise I find this:
When I click on them no servers show up, but those lobbies were not there a month ago.
This looks increadibly promising.
You can get GsList here if you want to see for yourself.

Use the GSListWeb executable.
Oh BTW the reason there is no Xbox stuff on there is because Microsoft doesn’t allow GameSpy to host lobbies for games over Live. They do it themselves.
This is definitely interesting… i’ll be interested to hear all of your opinions. I know that the software program isn’t put out by GameSpy, so who know’s it could most certainly be fake.
**UPDATE**
It appears I forgot to add the proper credit, which I apologize for.

[I wrote this same thing on the LA forums, so I'm just going to copy it here verbatim, lol].
Ok as I said I did some tests…
I think its safe to say that this “Gslist” is in fact true.
Here is the test I did, I took pictures:

Gslist does update every time you refresh it. And all the numbers are accurate.
But in the test, i created a game on Star Wars Battlefront Elite Squadron to see if it would show up on Gslist, to see if the numbers on gslist were just fabricated.
But in fact, it went as I had not expected. The game i created updated on gslist the moment i created the game.
Overall, I will believe what this program says.
If this is real then why isn’t Battlefront 3 for the Xbox 360 listed? And @Vaderdemise 93 don’t say ‘Because the Playstation is better’.
Read the article lol.. Microsoft doesn’t allow Gamespy servers. Its been this way since the first Xbox.
LOL! just because you said @vadersdemise_93 I am posting here hahahaha.
And I will be mature and answer your question, even though my conscious tells me to say that line you told me not to say. lol.
It’s because you need to pay for the 360 servers. So 360 gets private servers.
I’m doing my research on this “Gslist” and compiling data…. and going in those games to see if the ppl in the server in the game match what is on gslist.
Don’t you love console fan-boys?
I’m thinking that maybe on Xbox360 servers might have always been run by XBL itself rather than Gamespy. Don’t quote me on that. To be honest I hope that Gamespy won’t be part of it, cos the online service provided on PS2 was pretty bad, you had to go download programs to host a game off third party sites. Could be good news nontheless.
I was thinking the same.
Maybe xBox 360 doesn’t use any gamespy servers. If I want to be positive. Or if I turn into the hidden fanboy mode, than I’d just say that “It’s awesomeness is probably only capable on the ps3″ But right now, I’m just thinking it’s because either Microsoft is a bit late in the setup, or LIVE is setting up their own servers.
PSN-Free, Blu-Ray… More Expensive Controllers, More Lag… It all balances out.
Well, we can hope can’t we?
I really don’t feel like it cause i get my hopes up SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO high then BAM!!!! I am in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
is this some sort of cruel, sick joke? does lucasarts enjoy torturing us? lol
Where’s the ps2 listing on there. :O
Ps2 is pretty much dead by now…
Games are still being published for it…
Yeah, like Madden. The fact of the matter is that its a 10 year old console and time to move on lol. Even the NPD this month official stopped counting sales numbers for the PS2. It won’t be long before Sony completely drops the marketing for it.
I still play the ps2, its all i have other than my PC for games. And of course that also means i still play BF2! I must admit i was about to give up hope altogether for BF3 and now this happens….difficult to see the future is!
`haha Yoda hes small but deadly
I’m still skeptical about this.
Dito
Things are looking up. A reveal at E3 looks more and more realistic. I’m not getting my hopes up though.
This program is not fake because you can see all the running swbf2 and swbf renegade squaderon servers up and the amount of people in them.
Hmm it might be announced at E3
