Add a server browser
DICE, please add a server browser. I cannot find matches in my region(India). I am just stuck on the waiting for players screen and the match never starts or there are only 20-30 players in a match. ...

I feel your pain, it is very obvious from the vast number of posts in this thread that BF2042 and any future BF needs a proper Server Browser / Persistent Server System.
The current system of not having a Server Browser / Persistent servers in AOW is totally frustrating and imho unworkable.
In the current climate with the ever shrinking player base many players in different regions are reporting on a daily basis that they cannot even get into a match at all, this should not be happening in a BF title.
Players are simply fed up hanging around in menu's to be put in a map of MM's choice, especially when many times they join at the end of a round. Also being put in the same map 4 or 5 times just adds to the frustration.
Not only that but they then get sent back to the menu after every single round to start the same time consuming process all over again.
Players need to be able to join a server of their choice and stay on that server and play through the complete map rotation just like they used to in previous BF's
Think how much easier life used to be for Clans / Squads / Parties to play together when we had a decent Server Browser / Persistent Server system.
Imho a proper Server Browser / Persistent Server system is the #1 component needed for any BF title to survive and thrive, it is essential if we are ever to see the rebuilding of the heavily depleted BF community.
DICE please listen to the community and make it happen for the good of the BF franchise going forward.
Ray, and what they don't seem to understand is any sunk costs associated with a Server Browser and persistent servers would pay itself back tenfold. I know I would be playing a lot more and in doing so, be buying different skins to match the environments I am playing in.

Imho BF2042 and any future BF title needs a Server Browser and Persistent Servers as MM cannot cater for the BF community's needs.

- @SharpGoblin With a server browser, 1 player start becomes redundant IMHO as you will be able to find and select an active server
Feeling the crunch here with Matchmaking the sooner we have a Server Browser and Persistent Servers the better.

100% this, BF2042 and every Battlefield title needs a Server Browser / Persistent Servers.
Imho the sooner they return the sooner we can start to rebuild the BF Community and enjoy playing BF the way it's meant to be played.
- @RayD_O1 I think the lights in the BF2042 department of Dice’s office have been switched off long ago. The only communication coming out of that is probably managed by automated bolts. How else would you explain zero response on this topic that is a life for such a long time already?
However, if anyone is still listening at dice: GIVE US A SERVER BROWSER NOW! @RanzigeRidder2
I sincerely hope they do listen, the whole future of the BF Franchise depends on it.
If we are ever to see Battlefield return to it's former glory then MM needs to be replaced with a proper Server Browser / Persistent Servers.- @RayD_O1 I have no more illusion that we will see a SB with PS in BF2042 anymore.
But let this thread at least serve as a warning for the next installment. EA/Dice Don’t make the same mistake again, we NEED a server browser with persistent servers from the start in the next game! - @RanzigeRidder2
That is exactly the reason I feel it is imperative that we keep this thread alive.
Imho no one should be in any doubt whatsoever regarding the importance of the Server Browser / Persistent Servers in any Battlefield Title, past, present or future.
As previously stated, MM does not cater for clans and platoons and should be replaced asap so we can start to rebuild the BF Community.
DICE please make it happen. I strongly believe a Server Browser and Persistent Servers need to be reinstated asap for the good of the BF franchise going forward.
Imho it's the #1 QoL component still missing and the sooner MM is replaced the sooner we can get back to playing Battlefield the way it is meant to be played.
We all want what's best for the BF series so I call on DICE to please make it happen.
