Ahaha nice one !, and if they don't implement it they can't say I didn't try. 😃

I would also add there are plenty of other good guys on here pushing daily for this as well, hopefully we will eventually grind DICE into submission. 😃 

Its like Dice was challenge to put the I in Team. And Team is now spelled iiii or memememe

Squad based matchmaking is so bizzare, how on earth do they think that this makes sense for Platoons or organised Wars, or basically anything to be honest. It's fine for quick play, but when people want to organise themselves. It makes zero sense.

I think there does need to be a filthy casual mechanic for players with no friends. Its how I started out on BF. 

But it needs to advance quickly to provide support for more organised and needy players. 

Surely something along the lines of 

1. Filthy casual Quick play Match making. (i'm alone and want to be put with others of a similar level)

2. Squad based match making (I only have 4 friends so happy to fight with them)

3. Multiple Sqaud based match making (I have more than 4 friends, and we want to choose how we're teamed up and which sides)

4. Dedicated Field of war (AKA Server browser). But you know framed in a different way. Platoons can pick a war zone they've signed up to to fight other organised Clans.

The idea is to give people the option to play with people they've met before, I built up my BF friend group through consistently playing on the same server, getting to know peoples play style. You can only do this if your on the same server. Its literlly how life works, So this who random team, random server, random everything every single time, is so annoying.

Just add some creativity and thought and you can create an really interesting powerfull experience for players. But no, its like they've got the creative thinking power of a nat. 

@FlibberMeister

Yeah good points.

And yes the mind boggles at so many decisions DICE have made, they certainly appear to have killed of communities big time.!! Is it any wonder so many players have moved on. There definitely needs to be some serious changes to BF2042 SOON. !!

@FlibberMeister  Your 4 choices would definitely cover all bases :

1. Filthy casual Quick play Match making. (i'm alone and want to be put with others of a similar level)

2. Squad based match making (I only have 4 friends so happy to fight with them)

3. Multiple Sqaud based match making (I have more than 4 friends, and we want to choose how we're teamed up and which sides)

4. Dedicated Field of war (AKA Server browser). But you know framed in a different way. Platoons can pick a war zone they've signed up to to fight other organised Clans

Unfortunately I can't see DICE putting in the resources to give that level of choice.

To be perfectly honest I would settle for your Options 1 and 4, Quickmatch and Server Browser and that would still be infinitely superior to the current MM we have at the moment.

Haha yes @JasonVoorHeesxD ,

The last few members remaining here are probably now the 1 percenters!  😎

I actually think that just my own BF4 Metro server alone has more active players than the small crowd still on BF2042!   😂

As inspiration to the BF2042 Developers, here is a link to how a BF server browser is looking like:

@RayD_O1A brief report, my Battlefield clan has 71 members and after the Open Beta only 10 bought the BF 2042 and at this moment none of them play this game anymore and they have already lost hope that the game will be fixed.

I still have 1% hope of fixing the game lol

Sadly that is probably representative of many BF clans, a far cry from the good old days. ! 

By now I must say, a server browser is not what we need anymore. I would have agreed with you some time ago but as of TODAY, this requirement could safely be deleted.

Why? Because a server browser ONLY makes sense if there is more than one active server that you could join at any one time. Strangely, this still is true for BF4 but for BF2042, this might not even be the case.

What is STILL required are at least is that this one last remaining server (or the 2 or 3) per region should be a persistent instances and should provide players with a proper map rotation.

That's why I fully backed your proposal and have said many times on different threads that they should implement it asap.

Then they should follow it up with the full blown Server Browser / Persistent Servers once the player base is in place to support it.

The problem is many players / clans won't come near BF2042 because it hasn't got a Server Browser.

So DICE need to attract those players back with the promise of a server browser to come further down the line, but in the meantime they should definitely go ahead and implement your proposal as it would definitely improve things : persistent instances and should provide players with a proper map

Very importantly DICE need to spell out their plans for the future of BF2042 asap, rather than maintaining total silence on this very important subject.

DICE could you please implement the @DuaneDibbley proposal asap as it is something you should be able to do relatively easily and would help a lot of players.

Re: Concrete and simple to implement proposal that would improve BF2042 TODAY - Answer HQ

Could you please also make sure that you take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that all the players who currently are unable to join matches get sorted.

Then asap can you implement the full blown Server Browser / Persistent servers we were used to in previous battlefields

Adding a Server Browser is an easy fix to get some dedicated players back into the fold without any other fixes. 

Another Monday of DICE not saying * about literally anything going on with this game. How dreadfully exciting.

@RayD_O1how easy would that be. You already have one in Portal. Just add a simple Server Browser with some dedicated AOW servers and you bring back thousands of players.

It would be very easy wouldn't it, it's a no brainer and yet DICE still do nothing.!

Once again asking for the above proposal to be implemented asap.

What i really don't get is that no one seems to be complaining about laggy games. Half of my games are laggy and it's what most frustrating for me about this whole flop of a game. Am i really the only one with this problem? Never have this problem in other BF's with server browsers, always a ping of 17 with good gameplay. TF?

Yep just another reason to add to the ever growing list of why the current MM needs replacing.

@RayD_O1 

I'll say this brother, you are tenacious 🙂

I think they are probably well aware of what people want as far as a server browser and persistent servers.

Now will we ever get it? Who knows?

You are a good judge of character mate. 😃

Whether we will ever get it only time will tell, but one things for sure we ain't gonna stop telling them. !!

They need to add a server browser before Season 1 or they are not going to gain many new players.

Can you imagine joining the game after they add some great new maps (hopefully at least 2), you are super excited, then get Hourglass 4 times in a row due to MM? It will be worse than it is now and that is saying a lot. 

This is a no brainer, let us choose the maps we want to play on or the server where I can see the map rotation.

Exactly that's my worst nightmare I can't stomach Hourglass once as it is.

MM kills choice and causes unnecessary frustration that we could all do without. !

According to DICE CM's who very obviously don't read these forums, discussions of persistent lobbies and server browsers are something we're "not" discussing a lot but the team is very aware of.
