They are definitely needed asap to attract and maintain players that's for sure.

I would add community-run servers are just as much of a priority as well, I honestly can't understand why this was ever eliminated.
- edgecrusherO04 years agoSeasoned Ace@Ironhead841 Well they are...but for Portal mode. And the unfortunate result of the lack of players is that the majority of servers are all "hardcore" servers, especially those with anyone actually playing on them : /

Me neither mate, their removal has ripped the heart out of the BF franchise imho. ☹️

100% on this. I know that it gets merged into the same Anti-MM/give a server browser discussion threads. But having a community server that has active mods/admins on it makes an enormous difference. Builds a community of regulars around. Right now I see semi-regulars on MM matches just because of how few players are playing that I recognize some of the people from previous evenings. No matter what, there's going to be 'badmins' that just ban anyone that shoots down their helicopiter-farming-spree but there's plenty of servers where that doesn't happen. It could be an opportunity to have cross-platform persistent community servers... instead nothing.

Yep agreed there were some great community servers around which would you would look forward to playing daily with the same mates, great banter and rivalry .

Exactly! I never played in public servers if I could avoid it.
If my clan's server wasn't populated, I'd go look for another clan's server rather than play the "Official" public servers since it seemed the majority of the weapons-grade-stupid griefers and jackasses were always in the public servers.
And yes, there were "badmins" out there, but you could just go hunt another server down that didn't.
I usually had about 10-20 or so favorited clan servers in previous Battlefields that all were run by decent admins.
- RayD_O14 years agoHero@Ironhead841 Yeah exactly, being able to favourite your servers, just another useful tool that has been removed for our pleasure. ☹️
