    @Echo6EchoDice loves the MM system. They can save on server-cost by running as few servers as possible, and make sure they are full. Scalability is very efficient this way.

    The MM-system gives Dice a chance of balancing the games (which was a huge problem in earlier titles), this is the only advantage for the players.

    If they had made a game that people wanted to play, the MM-system might have worked, but the game failed and now the remaining players pay the price for the MM-system.

Nope, gotta disagree MM is an abomination and is a *-poor substitute for a functional server browser and persistent servers.

If it is about saving themselves money, they could just go back to letting people host their own servers and EA/Dice's server costs could be limited to "official" servers.

There was/is a reason BF4 is so popular to this day and a lot of that has to do with being able to host and admin your own server, run whatever maps/modes/restrictions (e.g. ping limitations) as well as banning players that are cheating or griefing other players.

Along with those perks is the ability to easily play with friends and favorite servers you like, something EA/Dice has apparently deemed not worth considering.

Leave matchmaking for other titles, provide a "quickhatch" button for players that like it but let the rest of us play with who/where/when we want.

Pretty much says it all really, this should be the blueprint for all future BF's.
