I am not sure what the future holds for BF2042 or for the next BF Title, however I am sick of MM.
I have not been able to MM into a single game of Breakthrough since 3 months after launch when everyone decided that BF2042 was crap and left for other games. That's a hell of a long time. Breakthrough for me was my favorite mode because even through the maps were too big, it focused everyone into one area and I had some pretty good games there. I have not been able to MM into Rush from the very first day it was launched. In conquest I mainly can only MM into the flavor of the month which is normally Exodus Conquest. So I am stuck playing the same handful of maps over and over, and sometimes its the same map back to back 3 times in a row! So frustrating!
I thought there would be a decent spike in player numbers with the arrival of S5, but I couldn't even MM in to play the new map. It took a couple of failed attempts before I got in. Last night I couldn't even play conquest on it, I had to play FNB instead on an area of the new map.
On BFV you had a chance to vote for the next map for the next round at the end of the game. That was a great idea. It doesn't even have that feature.
I do not foresee a Server Browser being added to BF2042. There has been nothing but radio silence from the Devs on Twitter as well as in here. I think Stratfords last comment was after the video came out announcing that they were not looking into a Server Browser at this time. It's kept us all hanging on that there could be a chance it could be implemented in later seasons. But if you even go an look how they are treating the BF community with no info past S4, then S5. Then they launch S5 and say there will be a S6. They should be saying that we are committed to producing content to S16 or whatever instead of being drip fed last minute info. It's not going to get people buying your game when every YT video is saying that they are cancelling after S5 etc. If they want people to buy the game then they should be shouting out from the rooftops the great content they are going to continue to bring for the next couple of Seasons and things they are going to be trying etc.
They know they are doing themselves no favors, but why they persist to continue going down the same path is beyond me. It's evident that they have not learned anything, and sticking their head in the Sand like and Ostrich ignoring the community is not buying back respect from anyone.
A server browser should have been in the game from Day 1. If the number of people were still playing the game like it was on launch MM would still be in issue IMO. The biggest development for the game now should be a SB to try and bring some people back and take a lot of frustration for people out of the game. I still don't get that they know people can not MM into a lot of game modes in AOW but they continue to ignore it and do nothing to help improve the situation.
