Endless Matchmaking - Waiting For Players
Hi, It started approximately 2 weeks ago, I click play on Breakthrough (128 players) and I could not find a game at all, I do get a game or two in Conquest (128 players) after long hours of queue. I ...

Now we have another "new" map with the updated Kaleidoscope and barely anyone can play it because we are using MM.
The fix is to make it 24/7? Come on now. We all know what the answer is.
@Adamonic Played for 3.5 hours earlier and never once got the kaleidoscope map. Just a repeat of the same 3, Arica harbour, Valparaiso and Discarded.

There are only so many times you can sit in an MM lobby cancelling and retrying, it gets old very quickly. ☹️
- @SMiT2710 When I played I had noticed that everyday there was 2-3 daily map rotations only. Since they are merging everyone together because of no server browsers and low player count. This way they can keep the maps filled with actual players. Not a good thing to do in my opinion.

Still haven't been able to play the reworked Kaleidoscope map, I just give up trying after a while, life's too short lol.

In this video this YouTuber talks about how long it took him to get into a match and talks about server browser. One of the first times I seen someone talk about it. You know it’s a huge deal now when streamers are talking about it lol. Come one dice save the game and give us a Browser! - @Sc0tch_Whiskey
Yeah indeed mate, the video basically says it all, and as I have said many times MM simply doesn't work in a BF game.
For the good of the game / franchise I sincerely hope that DICE do the right thing and replace MM ASAP. - @RayD_O1 He is a YouTuber so finally maybe they will listen. You know how they listen to streamers and not us little people.

Maybe we have to go to a fortune teller and find our answer there. Not the one who ask who's at the door when you knock. Yeah, we need a bunch of the other YouTube guys to get on board, this matchmaking crap is hands down one of the worst experiences I've ever had in a Battlefield title.

I would go as far as to declare it THE worst BF experience I have encountered to date.!
I have been trying finding a game the latest 2 months, I think I give up now.
3-4 players in lobby!!!- @Sc0tch_Whiskey Yup, I’m only ever getting Valparaiso, discarded and Arica harbour. Game usually crashes and I have to join a new server and start all over again.
The new "Zero Hour" mode in AOW is only running Kaleidescope and Exposure one after the other.

3-4 players in lobby!!!And BF2042 loses yet another player because MM prohibits them from playing the game. !
Sad times for the whole BF franchise to see it fall to this level.☹️
- @Ironhead841 I tried that mode, but I couldn’t get a game. The 32 player minimum is pretty much impossible to reach on console. Even the 16 players needed for 32v32 can be up to 15 minute wait times. I just want to play, but feel like half my time is spent in loading screens.
- @RayD_O1 At this point you have to ask yourself is it still worth it to even try to play. Server browser will fix this issue for thousands of players. There is no reason to wait more than five minutes waiting to play. Maybe even a few minutes longer. I get things happen. Not sure how a game can come out where players cannot play. We paid good money for this . It’s shameful how players are getting screwed and Dice has not done a single thing to fix it. There are smaller games with less money and less staff that have better running games. But to me not worth it anymore and never will they get a penny from me again.

Nobody enjoys queueing endlessly in lobbies, we all purchased BF2042 to play it and yet more and more players are posting daily that they cant get into matches.
This can't be allowed to go on indefinitely or BF2042 will surely die due to lack of players.
For the good of BF2042 and the whole BF franchise going forward, imho MM needs to be replaced with a proper working Server Browser / Persistent Server set up which will allow all players access to the game.
More and more gamers are leaving because of this....is this what DICE wants?...again..unbelievable!
Fix these problems first and then release some reworked maps and dandy hokey pokey skins.
So its time to get you act together and get some actual work done.
@Mackstan71Dice does want this so they can put all resources in the new BF. It’s only obvious. But I hope they add a server browser for the good of the game.
- @Sc0tch_Whiskey
You mean the new BF alot less people will pre-order or buy, because they felt cheated? - @Mackstan71 Exactly!

Yeah me too and the sooner they add it the better for the sake of our sanity.
Too much wasted time waiting when we should be playing.
Replacing MM would be a definite game changer that could help to bring the fun factor back that we had in previous BF's.

EA has your money and couldn't give a * if they lose more gamers, they have a new BF in the works.
BOYCOTT the next one
- @itsmoist69 Your absolutely right in this! I wouldn’t boycott tho. It’s better to not give them your money. Add server browser and two biggest issues will fix themselves but they are trying to hard to figure out how to make the next fortnite.
