I think there are a lot more reasons why a server browser will not be totally useless as I pointed out in my previous reply :
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.

@RayD_O1In AOW matchmaking you are matched in the best ping servers to your location and if you press TAB on your keyboard you see your ping on the top right near your KDRA Etc .. So this way they make sure the server population is of players with the lowest ping possible so no ones ruins other experience or have bad experiences themselves ..
my ping is always between 25 and 35 wich is acceptable i never ever needed a server browser and never gotten matched into a 200 ping server never ever with AOW matchmaking
I have never claimed ping to be a particular problem for myself (9ms) and yes I know that my ping is viewable.
As a matter of interest how do you know you haven't been matched with high ping players, where do you actually check the 127 other players ping. ?.
I have definitely been on AOW servers which have been more laggy than normal and with poor hit detection etc....
Who is to say that the poor performance is not down to OOR players or high pingers with poor internet etc. ?

@Stew360 They revert the system back to the traditional Battlefield system where servers are able to be filled by both quick match and people manually joining and/or queuing for full servers instead of forcing this Battlefront/Apex quick match stuff on us. They would also have to stop scrambling the servers after each map - something which the community largely dislikes. The tech is there or we wouldn't have a server browser and quick match in Portal.
BF1/5 are on AWS like 2042 is and BF1/5 use the traditional Battlefield system so this is 100% possible from a server perspective.

Sounds like it wouldn't be that difficult to implement for AOW f the tech is already there and BF2042 uses the same system as BF1 / 5
Hopefully they work towards this in upcoming updates.
