Do You Think DICE Will Ignore Our MatchMaking Feedback for 3 Games in a Row?

Does anyone like the current matchmaking system in 2042? We've been giving DICE feedback about matchmaking since BFV, but they went ahead and put matchmaking in 2042 without changing anything about i...

the difference between BF1 and BFV compared to 2042 is mainly the former both have a server-browser. like it or not a server browser lets you pick the map you want to play on top of both BF1 and BFV do not force you back into their flipping main menue every 25ish minutes and you have 0% chance of playing the same map repeatedly if you stay in a server, unlike 2042 where my personal record was 4 rounds of hourglass back to back..... needless to say i stopped playing several weeks ago and do not plan to waste anymore of my time here until the april patch maybe if i even want to return

Sums up my feelings entirely, my personal record was 4 rounds of Discarded back to back which although preferable to Hourglass is not something I want to be doing.

We need to be able to stay on the same server and play through the full map rotation. stay with squad etc, rather than this back and forth to lobby garbage we have currently/.

I would accept BF1 / BFV set up any day over this MM mess.

It would help if they implemented the @DuaneDibbleyproposal asap : concrete and easy to implement proposals as this would allow map rotation and be a big improvement over what we have now.

BF2042 should have launched with the a proper Server Browser / Persistent Servers set up as MM is definitely not up to the job and needs replacing asap.

    I have noticed everyday that they only play a few maps. I usually play for example  discarded then orbital and then it repeats itself. And that goes for all AOW modes.

    @RayD_O1 I actually play more when I can chose the map and server I want to play on. I might go into the SB with an idea of what I want to play, then see a couple of servers packed with people playing another mode, and I change my mind and jump in. MM should be there for quick match, but it should be optional.

    I believe they would double the current amount of active players overnight with a Server Browser and persistent servers.

    One of the bigger factors is I have no clue what map is coming next (no map rotation because you never stay on the same server), and I can't stay with players I just played with, even if I like my squad. Like who thought that was a good idea? Seems lazy.

      Exactly, gaming should be played the way you decide not the way MM forces you to play,

      MM kills off choice and should never have been forced upon BF players.

      Nobody asked for and nobody wants it.

      DICE need to bring back the Server Browser / Persistent Servers before it's too late.

      As you say it would encourage players to come back as well as stop more players leaving, and let's face it we can't really afford to lose any more players. !

        @RayD_O1 I also liked sorting by ping. The game experience is completely different when you are on a sub 70 ping server vs 250. With this new MM, I have no clue until I am in game and then understand why I am being killed behind cover.

        So ping, game mode, map, and player total were easy filters. If there were no servers in that criteria, I opened it up a little bit. I can't do any of that with MM. I just sit in a queue in Quake squad hoping to not get the same map for the 6th time in a row.
