[PC][FEEDBACK] BF2042 :: Cancelling Matchmaker, always puts me back on unwanted

It is ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING, if I cancel the matchmaker as a UNWANTED map is being loaded up, re-queue for Conquest or Breakthrough, and this damn same map is popping up again .. more than 5 times in a row !! This is ridiculous !!

If I CANCEL the matchmaker due to a UNWANTED map, please let me queue up for an other map instead and not being put into a same queue over and over again, 5 times and more in a freaking row !!

Maybe add a map filter for specific gamemodes, so UNWANTED maps will NOT be loaded up a dozen times !!

Or add Redacted-only, and Exposure-only.

Speaking here about official servers with FULL XP !! Of course there are custom servers online which doesnt grant XP ..

EDIT 01 ::

There again, Conquest 128, being put into the freaking unwanted Breakaway more than 12 times in a row ... !! Cancelling this crap 12 times in a row .. !!

Breakaway was fun during Closed/Open Beta as it was the only BF2042 map available .. but clearly not today anymore ..

Such maps "may be" fun whenever competent players are online.

An ELO system or similar is HIGHLY needed .. otherwise most maps are plainly NO FUN ..

And why is it OFTEN happening to join a 800:5 losing team to play just for a second .. ?!

All of this is NON-sense .. !!

EDIT 02 ::

Maps which suck >>

  • Stadium (Conquest)
  • Haven (Conquest & Breakthrough)
  • Reclaimed (Conquest & Breakthrough & 64 & 128)
  • Breakaway (Conquest & 64 & 128)
  • Spearhead (Conquest & 64 & 128)

These 5 maps are very unwanted .. as these are pretty UNBALANCED, especially Reclaimed !!

EDIT 03 ::

I dont know what is up today but CQC Conquest wants to put me into UNWANTED HAVEN & STADIUM only ..

I have cancelled for 10 minutes straight and still Redacted does NOT pop-up !! And whenever it "might" pop-up, it is a 800:5 match already ..

No one wants to play HAVEN & STADIUM .. That is why only these both UNWANTED maps pop-up .. !!

Absurd !!

  • If you switch game type and then switch back it will sometimes change map.

    All I got, agree that MM is the Bain of this series.

    @sk1lld Thanks, I will test this out .. for now i am stopping playing as this has annoyed me just too much ..
  • @N3tRunn3r It depends, but mostly cause of empty servers. This particular problem indicates that server was not filled up yet and is waiting for players.

    @N3tRunn3r When you first start up and perform a match, the logic equivalent to quick matching seems to work, and you are thrown into an available match at random. However, when you exit and select the same game mode again, it seems to have a high probability of putting you into a match that is waiting or has just started. At least, this is the case for 128CQ, which I play all the time. However, the Hardcore mode, which is now being held as an event mode, behaves like a persistent server and allows you to enter the same match in a row. Obviously, I think the logic is different.
  • @N3tRunn3r This is due to the shrinking playerbase. The game is walking on its last legs. If you play with crossplay off and/or in a low populated area you will have few active servers, with not enough people left to fill up a match, hence the game keeps throwing you back in what is probably the only active server for the game type you wish to play.

    This is why we need to get rid of matchmaking and need a server browser instead!
