Next Feedback Loop Category
@Straatford87 thanks for collecting the feedback on the map design. Hopefully, it will be useful in shaping both future maps and allows the team to modify existing maps to be more exciting. When can...

@AdamonicWell as we have had numerous topics on MM and persistent servers on here, and lots of people can not join a game or mode they want to play anytime they want.
The first feedback loop should have been about that, but lets hope the next one is about getting a proper server browser and servers running 24/7 in all regions of the world and drop the player count for when players can play.
I think right now with 128 player servers they will not fill them to what is needed for the server to start, just have 64 player servers and say 16-20 players join server starts. Plus map rotation so you can play more than one map over and over again.
The next feedback loop should undoubtedly be about feed back in relation to MM.
Unfortunately I very much doubt they will ever do that as they have enough evidence already with all the threads on the forums.
I can't imagine more than a handful of players would actually prefer MM over the previous Server Browser / Persistent Servers system we were used to in previous BF'S.
For that reason I think it is much more likely to be about Specialists.
They shouldn't need to have a feedback loop about MM... The problems are so glaringly obvious it would be truly a sad sight if they needed feedback on that...
I hope the next feedback loop starts with "so we're doing away with specialists, what would you guys like to see for classes?"
Not gonna happen though :D
I totally agree we shouldn't need a feedback loop for MM and Server Browser, however, most of the topics shouldn't need input from the community either. At most, if someone had some cool ideas for custom game modes.
Maybe they just don't know, if they are younger developers, maybe they grew up in an MM world. However, not only does a Server Browser give you some control over how/where/when you play, it also brings the community together.
Just say I was going to play C128, but instead of using MM, I go to the Server Browser and see that a lot of people are playing BT64. I may change my mind and join them instead. A lot of times I would just go to the server with one or two slots open playing a map I want to play.
That is the other thing, MM doesn't allow you to choose the map you want to play on.
Finally, some people, depending on the region and when they play, can't play at all, ever, because of MM. This is borderline criminal.So adding a SB would be a huge step to bring some people back. I know I would play more with one.

It would indeed be a massive step forward and like you I would also play more.
At the moment I almost have to force myself to play, put off by all the reasons you mention above and by what we have been telling them daily for months now.
BF2042 is in a disgraceful state and bears no resemblance to the previous BF's, it's like a cheap imitation in so many ways.!I'm surprised they still don't have one up. Like...are we gonna be on a monthly cadence?
The continued lack of any urgency from DICE to fix this deeply flawed game continue to astound me. Like, at this rate I'm expecting a new coat of paint by S1, not them fixing any actual problems under the hood with this game.
