With announcement of persistent server browser that could potentially lead to a server browser it could mean a year 3 of content. Because, I don't know about the rest of you, but if a new BF game comes out this year I'm done with BF 2042.Why spend and dedicate this amount of time adding a server browser when another BF comes out. I believe it's hard work to incorporate this into a game not impossible just a lot of work.How are the release dates usually for BF titles and how long after live service cut off does the next BF usually come out?Would everyone want to see a year 3? I'd be ok with it. But, definitely need more content especially in the way of maps. I feel like that's what's holding this game back more maps and a proper way of keep players together after a match.D

Straight from the horses mouth (EA)A Persistent Server means your Server remains visible within the Server Browser even without active players. This will enable communities to stay together across their favourite servers, without needing to wait for the Server Owner to come online and activate the Server.So for the private/portal communities means the server will always be their for people to join.BUT what we really want is a server browser but i think that request has been flogged to death

This is not to mention the 6 gadgets, 6 weapons and 3 vehicles also added.What a lame excuse to if their going to use map reworks as an excuse. The map reworks is on them and their responsibility.Seems like they put the game in a healthy state, now they can drip feed content and seasons until the next BF title.D

Maybe some form of rcon tools to interact with the server via a web browser or something. \\@ForumUser thanks yep looks like it didn't attach the closing paren )

Persistent server improvements could just mean for portal. I'm going to wait and see.

@ElliotLHYeah I am a bit worried about that too.

Ditto. I really want to get excited, but it could just be an update to Portal.

@RayD_O1 How does that saying go? Plan for the worst, hope for the best or something.

@ElliotLH Or there’s the saying hope is delayed disappointment, which is more fitting with Dice these days.
But I would like to be proven wrong in this case 🤞

@RanzigeRidder2 That's a good one. Reminds me of the "hope is the first step on the road to disappointment" line from Dawn of War.

Fully with you that being proven wrong would be fantastic.

I thought persistent server would mean everyone in the game is guaranteed to reconnect to the same server after each game is over. Like it Does in portal and says what the next upcoming map is.
This way no one returns to the main lobby.
