@OskooI_007i don't think they will do it. They added XP to Portal to see if there would be a bump in player count. There are maybe 200-300 more players active now than were the same time last week via Steam. This was also a patch week and they brought the weekly mission back.
200-300 players (on Steam) doesn't count consoles or Origin, but is a good percentage of PC players. Maybe 20-25% overall total. So there are maybe 10K-12K active players on at any given time. That is too low to making persistent servers and a Server Browser.
- 4 years ago@Adamonic Would have been nice to be told about the changes to Portal... only found out today. Also ignore steam player count numbers their return policy meant most people could refund their purchase so they have the lowest numbers.
Don't hold your breath for a server browser going forward Vince hasn't released a game without auto match making since Black Ops 1. BLOPS2 was auto server, Titanfall has the worst match making in gaming history that's why it failed.
Auto servers work fine if there are players but once the player base falls below a threshold they just leave you with one full server and not enough to start the second. This is what happened to Star Wars Battlefront. The server browser helps with small player bases so you can build server populations over time. But EA aren't interested in small player bases with there big games so don't ever expect server browsers again.
