    @RanzigeRidder2I see a group of people dominate on the Close Quarters playlist as well. They all have added each other as Friends so when they play, they join on each other to be on the same team. Of course when 95% of the “good” players do this, the rounds become completely walkovers for the team they are on. But apparently that is what they want and think is fun. Unfortunately it ruins the playlist for anyone else.

    TBF that's not different from how other games (BF or otherwise) function with existing squads/parties up or joining the same team(s) etc. But it does suck to be on the other side of it repeatedly. 

  • @Anobix Sure this happened in older titles as well. The issue is now the population is stretched so thin usually there's only 1 server up so you will encounter them all the time.

    Not only does it suck to be on the other side repeatedly, also if you are on their side games become boring. I much more enjoy a close game where both teams are well matched rather than a game that involves my team steamrolling or getting steamrolled.

    @Anobix Yes as Ranzige says, usually there is only that one Close Quarters server where they’re on.

    After a while of seeing this, I just stopped trying to find games via the Close Quarters playlist.

    Yep no disagreement with either of you. The drop in population is a good chunk of why I stopped playing (as well as having enough of a backlog of other games I wanted to finish plus more are always coming out -- why spend the time getting frustrated in a dying game where all of the people I played with regularly also dropped off?)

    This is one of the reasons why I stopped playing with the platoon I was in for BF1 and BFV. Sometimes there were 15 of us on one side and I don't think it was a lot of fun for the enemy team unless they were stacked too.

    I would play more if I could find a game (Oceania).

    Interestingly, I have no problem finding a game of BF4/1/V! 

    Maybe because these games have a server browser, or maybe because they are more enjoyable.

    @VOLBANKER_PC I have no problem in that - but when friends are all over the globe then I do mind. Europe and US players on same server - will give a ping / latency problem for the low pingers. Servers simply cannot cope well with this - reason why ping limits on servers was invented many years ago.
    When I play a map and 20 min later a new map - it can sometimes feel like night and day. You cannot tell peoples ms ping like in BF5 - but how it feels - you are not in doubt that high pingers joined the server.
    I really hope for next BF they will stop this + also have clean servers - pc on one set of servers and console on another set of servers. This mix was a bad move and only invented to cut down on cost !
