BF3 problems

I need some help. I keep trying to join a multiplayer game, whenever I select multiplayer, or even coop, the screen does it's shade thing, but it just stops there. It's not freezing, sense there is music still going and all. I've checked and I still have my internet connection up. I can still do the campaign, but for whatever reason, it;s not connecting to the multiplayer servers.

For the PS3? If so, the PSN is on maintenance right now until 11pm..

I can't sign in the play online D: so just wait it out until later tonight.

I hope that's what the problem is. For some odd reason, I can play online with other games, just not BF3.

Weird.

This is what I'm guessing and I'm not so sure. My friend can access other people's pawns in Dragon's Dogma and even look at mine, but I can't do it.

Odd. Just looked, and I see friends of mine playing BF3, so maybe it's a maintenance thing. Hell, maybe it's because we both got crappy connections or something.
