It is abundantly clear from the feedback on this mega thread that BF2042 and every future BF title needs a Server Browser / Persistent Servers to function properly.
It really brings it home to me when playing the Hourglass 24/7 single map mode, it makes no sense whatsoever to send all players back to the MM lobby to search again for exactly the same map. !
Imho MM has added an unnecessary layer of frustration and destroys all continuity, and forces players to spend way too much time in the lobby, time that could / should be spent actually playing.
The other major downside is that there are many players who cannot even get access to play due to lower player counts in their regions, surely that is not acceptable.
For the good of BF2042 and every BF going forward I call for MM to be replaced asap, imho it would massively improve the whole player experience, more than any other change they could make, and get the BF series back on the right track.
