Add a server browser

I have mentioned Server Browser in every survey, as the #1 thing that needs to be added. There are posts on Reddit, in Discord, on Twitter, and nothing. This thread is now the biggest in the forum and there has not been a post by a CM since April 2022. For those keeping track, that is 14 months ago. 

You know what would be professional? Just come out and say something, either way. They plan to add one or it is not in their plans. How hard is that? The silence is honestly disrespectful at this point. They ask for our feedback in multiple ways, but when we give them feedback they don't like or don't want to address, they ignore us. Great job team. 

Ignore at best...seems like they very good at it. wish they turn that in fixing this broken and unfinished product.

I have also too asked for a SB in every survey that EA/DICE presented me and frankly I'm surprised at the silence. We are as a customer worth at least some kind of response.

Yep same here, EVERY survey I've pointed out the value of server browsers and persistent servers.

Damn shame EA/Dice has rejected all the feedback, oh well I guess.

I know what to watch for before purchasing another Battlefield title.

@Adamonic

I agree with you that the server browser is superior (especially with the fine-grained, custom filtering options of BF4 and earlier titles). I know folks do not want to let go. But the writing has been on the wall since BF1. When they started to slowly erode its functionality and began featuring quickjoin on the consolized UI.

I'm not sure it's fair to say that EA/DICE hasn't acknowledged our desire for one and rejected it. It was made it clear they have no plans to implement a server browser outside of portal. It was stated by the community manager a few weeks after this thread was created. I've posted the exact quote and linked it in this thread before.

We all do not like their answer. But, I'm not sure that requires DICE to repeat it just because a number of individuals are keeping this thread alive. Even if they do say it again, people would still be dissapointed and upset, keep the thread going, and then ask for them to answer again in 6 months.

I think what is fair is for them to confirm why they will not add one. Unfortunately, I think the only answer we get there would be a corporate sanitized response. Beacuse, we all know the reason is SBMM, and future ability to control and maniuplate the experience for purposes of monetization.

I think you will be one of many who will be watching closely before committing to purchase the next BF.

@DigitalHype
I assume you are referring to this statement in August 2022 :
"But we wanted to help to let you all know that when it comes to a server browser, specifically for all out warfare, we're currently not pursuing this. We've had a lot of questions on this. So we wanted to make sure you got an answer."

They said 10 months ago that they were currently not pursuing this, not never.

BF2042 launched without a proper Scoreboard, All Chat, Squad Management, Server Browser etc which was not well received by the community. It took a while to address each of those issues but now the only one that is still missing is the Server Browser.

I have pointed out previously on this thread that personally I am not holding out much hope of getting one at this late stage.

However as it has also been said many times on this thread it is important to continue to reiterate how we all feel about MM and keep the thread visible as a reminder that a Server Browser / Persistent Servers is an essential element of any BF game, past, present and future.

Please add a server browser.

I meant one for the regular games.

BF 4, I and V had it. Can't say for the older games, but they probably had one too.

What is odd to me is other topics come up about the game that get mentioned and responded to, about weapons, maps, etc, but Server Browser gets the cold shoulder treatment. It just seems like their excuse is: 

Now that Season 6 has been confirmed it is even more important that we get a Server Browser  / Persistent Servers so we can play BF2042 to it's full potential.

DICE please make it happen.

@RayD_O1

Goodmorning Ray,
Wouldn't it be nice to finaly get an honest answer on this matter? What's the hold up..are they afraid of something?...is there a honest answer?..or...

For some bizarre reason they drew a line in the sand on Server Browsers and having control of your Squad (kicking people)
No clue why other than one last screw you to their customers.

can't believe this thread is now 315 pages long. Don't Dice listen to their fan base?
