Forum Discussion
The purpose of this thread is to try to coordinate all our efforts into one main thread and to finally get our message through to DICE that MM is just not working.
If you want change and would like to see MM replaced then be sure to make your voice heard by posting your support.
DICE can you please help all players who are currently unable to join games due to Matchmaking problems.
You need to prioritise this so players can get to play the game they paid for. !!
On this forum there are many threads where players are asking for a proper Server Browser / Persistent Server system to replace MM which is simply not up to the job for reasons spelt out on these threads :
Endless Matchmaking - Waiting For Players (Asia) - Answer HQ (ea.com)
Add a server browser please, I want to do the weekly challenges !! - Answer HQ
DICE add a Server Browser / Persistent Servers to AOW - Answer HQ
What are the top 3 things you would change about BF2042 ? - Answer HQ
MM is just an unnecessary frustration which is causing players to spend hours searching for a game or are unable to play at all.!!
Even players who are lucky enough to get to play are constantly complaining about having to play the same map over and over or don't get to play certain maps for days.
It is evident that BF2042 can not continue with an MM system which is totally inadequate and is destroying players enjoyment of the game.
Anyone having these MM issues should add your weight to this thread daily and keep it at the top of the list.
DICE you really need to take urgent action to resolve this major issue which is driving players away from BF2042.
I agree that matchmaking should be on the list. Big group of friends and gamer communities draw in a lof of players. But if they cannot keep their groups together they move on to other games where they can stay as a team.
a) There is no reason for communities to play as long as they cannot get more then 4 players in a team right away. The game party only allows for 4 players. If you have more than 4 players your group gets split up for the next round. There needs to be an option to keep your group together by maybe unlocking the party to more players. Then matchmaking can build squads based on the existing MM process. But the party stays together.
b) The idea of the server based matchmaking was to ensure a more leveled playing field. But I see as many one sided games as before. Maybe rather go old school and do a regular rotation on the same server which would also allow the groups to stay together. This would eliminate the need for a)
c) There are the same maps played over and over again due to the players being assigned to random servers every round. Maybe rather do a map voting or a rotation to make sure players get a mixed of maps and don't get stuck on the same maps.
@sabersunDICE need to listen to the player base who are asking for a proper server browser / persistent servers like we had in previous Battlefields.
DICE please don't ignore the fact that players are not happy with MM as it is not up to the job.For many Dice releases now they've been trying to push us away from our attachment to server browsers. I can only assume it's because they want to create a persistent experience across PS/Xbox/PC. Perhaps it's also about tighter control over the player experience. The problem with this is that it also is a game community killer. Sometimes I want to play with the same group (not just squad) of players regularly.
I still go back and play on my favorite BF4 Gun Master server as do hundreds of other regular players because we are familiar with each other and enjoy playing together. This kind of interaction and dedication simply won't happen with the current 2042 match making model. Sure, they try to have this functionality in the Portals, but it doesn't really work in such a limited environment.
Server browsers and persistent servers are a must, even across platforms.

As you say they maybe do want to try and control the player experience. One thing for sure is MM has been a nightmare experience that causes unnecessary frustration. ☹️
