@Stew360So you are trying to tell us a serverbrowser is useless without telling us why it´s useless?
I´l tell you why its usefull.
1. By choosing server myself I know what map i´m gonna play or I can join a server wich is currently playing the map I want to play.
2. If we also get persistent servers I also know what maps comes after.
3. I can join an ongoing match without waiting for the server to fill.
4. I can que up to a full server to wait for a free spot instead of waitng for a new server to fill upp.
5. I can see the ping before joining.
6. Best of all, together with persistent servers I dont need to back out to the main menu to seach for a new game wich currently takes several minutes to fill upp. Just let us keep playing toghether from match to match with the squadmates that we just played so good toghether with.
We are not asking for custom servers in the All out warfare mode, we are asking for a broswer with standard servers. If we want custom games? We go to Portal.
I just posted a similar response to @Stew360 in another thread so I will include it here as I feel it is relevant :
MM may be working in AOW as DICE intended and it may suit your needs but imho it is no substitute for a proper server browser. (Portal is not an option in it's current state and no one is using it).
In BFV and previous BF's I was able to use the server browser :-
To see the server name and location.
I was able to find a match in seconds which suited my requirements that I was able to specify using the browser filter.
I knew how many players were on the server before I joined.
I was able to stay on that server for a few hours or longer if required.
Importantly I was able to play through the whole map rotation uninterrupted.
Play with friends or build a rapport with a squad round after round.
In MM :
I am put in a lobby which then puts me in a server with an unknown number of players. I then wait for players to join.
Sometimes it puts me in a server where the round is almost finished and I then get dumped back to the lobby to start the whole elongated process all over again.
I have had to play the same map several times in a row, so some days i only get to play 2 or 3 off the 7 available maps which gets boring very quickly.
There is no rapport with squads as you get put back to the lobby after every single round.
All in all I find MM very frustrating and spend too much time waiting in menus in comparison to using a server browser.
You are obviously happy with MM and it suits your needs, but I much prefer the traditional server browser, so we need to agree to disagree.
It would be nice if we had the option to use either one or the other methods and then that would keep everyone happy.
