Add a server browser
DICE, please add a server browser. I cannot find matches in my region(India). I am just stuck on the waiting for players screen and the match never starts or there are only 20-30 players in a match. ...

We need a proper Server Browser / Persistent Server System for the good of our sanity.
I find the current system of not having a Server Browser / Persistent servers in AOW to be totally frustrating.
I personally am fed up with all this hanging around in menu's to be put in a map of MM's choice, especially when many times you join at the end of a round.
Then you have the luxury of being dumped back to the menu after every single round to start on the merry go round all over again.
I was put in Kaleidoscope 4 or 5 times during yesterday because MM decided I needed to play it over and over.
I want to be able to join a server of my choice and stay on that server and play through the complete map rotation like I was able to in previous BF's
What happened to player choice ?, who thought it would be a good idea to force players to play the game the way MM decides.
Also the fact that many players in different regions are reporting daily that they cannot even get into a match at all should be reason enough for DICE to sit up and take notice of where BF2042 is heading.
Think how much easier life would be for Clans / Squads / Parties to play together if we had a decent Server Browser / Persistent Server system. !
We all paid for this game, please let us play it the way we choose and add a Server Browser / Persistent Server system in AOW.

Again it comes down to a game, being designed to be a BR, does require MM before every round.
But as they have a server browser and persistent servers and everything for portal it is also beyond me why they don't activate this for AOW.

Please feel free to add your own thoughts, for or against getting rid of MM in AOW.
It is obvious I am not a fan but I am interested to see if there are are enough valid reasons for keeping MM as opposed to reverting to a proper Server Browser / Server System that we had in previous BF's.
- @RayD_O1 I presume you mean 'Match-making'? If so then it is handled like other previous BF iterations regardless of whether you have a server browser.
You click 'join' and it finds you a server based on region and ping. It does not look at your stats until it has already assigned you a server. Once in the server, then it looks at your skill simply to see what team to put you on for balance purposes.
Yes the BF2042 seems to have a bug/feature which puts you in the same map over and over and over. Namely Kaleidoscope for me. Maybe this is because the game is trying to get me to play the maps evenly, and I drop out of Kaleidascope 90% of the time it puts me in there.
Why have they gone this way? I think it is a way to dynamically scale server requirement based on demand. This way you never have servers sat empty which would cost EA money for no net gain. It's all about the Benjamins sadly.

I was looking forward to a playing second map with our same squad but we got separated at the end of the round.
Not sure whether it was due to good old MM or if you had to leave.
I am sure if DICE ever get rid of MM and replace it with a proper server browser / persistent server system, all players / squads will have a lot more fun as they will be kept together through the whole map rotation instead of being separated after every round.
We can only hope it is SOON. 😃
I am actually surprised they didn't go the route of server browsers and having to rent out servers to make extra money. Unless they thought they could make more money with a live service, a battlepass, and skins.
There is a server browser: Play Portal.
@EA/Dice, please remove the ai restriction from ai filled portal games!
