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. ...

@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.

@ExxInferis well match making does not work for me as it seems to never put me in my region or by ping (Northern Canada) and i am always waiting for servers to join. When we had a server browser i can set it to my region and ping and find a server very quickly in my area. Plus when i do get in a server always seems to play at least one map 5 or 6 times before i even see a new map. Need map rotation put in and stay on the same server and not be put back into the queue to find another server and wait minutes again to join if ever.
