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. ...

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.

Yeah you and me both m8, imho MM is a massive retrograde step compared to previous BF's and needs to go. !
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.Thanks for supplying those details.
So the only real benefits are financial gain to EA and the downside is players are having to suffer the frustration of being dumped back to the lobby after every single round.
As I have said many times, never being able to stay on a server and play through the map rotation is my biggest gripe. Coupled with playing the same map over and over as you mentioned, together these two issues have basically ruined BF2042 for me and by the look of things many others judging by the forum posts on this subject.
I sincerely hope DICE reverse their decision and give us a proper Server Browser and persistent servers and allow us to choose how we play BF2042.
p.s. They were definitely forcing Kaleidoscope on me yesterday and I was not amused. 😃
