@Mackstan71 Thanks to all the guys supporting my cause specially @RayD_O1 . Without you guys this thread wouldn’t have gotten this far. Thanks guys!
I hope DICE understand how much of a headache it is to play this game without a server browser in AOW.
Server browser and persistent servers are indeed vital to Battlefield, it is necessary for so many reason that myself and other have listed time and time again.
Picking and favoriting servers that you have a good stable connection to being first and foremost, it is also virtually impossible to build any kind of community with this random matchmaking.
I don't like lone-wolfing it in Battlefield, never have, Clans/Platoons and the servers that they ran are what made Battlefield into the unique, enjoyable experience that many of us have come to expect.
I really hope they reconsider the decision to abandon server browser and persistent servers.
I'm begging you to please consider adding this legacy feature and help this community grow.
It is so needed right now.

Thanks man, there is a fine bunch of stalwarts who have supported this thread and have a never say die attitude.
@Ironhead841 @Mackstan71 @Sc0tch_Whiskey have all been there from the start, stubborn guys like myself who refuse to take no for an answer. 😁
And there have been many others who have helped keep this thread alive.
The comradery and banter have played a big part and helped us to keep going, even though we know the odds are stacked against us getting the hallowed Server Browser that BF2042 desperately needs and all players deserve.
Never say Never. 👍
On several occasions yesterday I joined matches that had literally seconds left and then had the pleasure of being sent back to the lobby to try again. ☹️
Just something else that a Server Browser / Persistent Servers could prevent, I long for the days when I could join a favourite server and remain on it for hours on end, playing each of the maps in rotation.
Life used to be so simple before MM.
The experience on ME servers since update 3.1 :
How DICE expect us to play on such servers and this is on week-end.
I find the game unplayable with the MM system. This really needs to be addressed by EA/DICE. What exactly are they thinking clothes lining their closest fans?

@Raptor_i81That image pretty much sums up the last 12months of playing BF2042 for me. Such a shame that they even asknowledge that we want and need a SB and the reasons why but have chosen not to introduce it.
Even the persistent servers are not working properly. They need to update it so we can play. I don't understand why there is such a big push back on it???
I agree it is a shame, and imho it is unacceptable that you and many others are unable to play.
BF2042 needs a Serer Browser /Persistent Servers so all players have access, and all players can play the game the way they played all previous Battlefields.
MM is not working and needs replacing asap.

@RayD_O1I hope that we are treated better with the next game, than we are with this one.....
I hope so too, but I believe they have to bring it to BF2042 asap, another year is a long time to have to put up with MM.

I realy can't understand why they have the *stick my head in the sand* attitude, why they ignore this MAJOR problem.
There always was something with new BF title..okay..i can live with that...but this game( for me not yet a BF title)....wow.. it's way of the charts.
If this is gonna be their standard, then i have no hope for the next one.
This is the 2670th post on the subject.
Now DICE seems to have removed their beergoggles and finally heading in the right direction this is the deal breaker for so many Battlefield fans.

It will be a major step forward in the right direction if they do, here's hoping. 👍
After getting shoved into maps I don't want to play time and again, or better yet matches that are almost over constantly I would say it is high time to revisit the server browser/persistent server subject.
It's gotten to the point where if it happens more than a couple of times I just close BF2042 and go back to playing B4 with its trusty server browser.
Until they fix map rotations and or add a server browser with persistent servers, I've only been playing enough BF2042 to do the weekly missions.

@Raptor_i81 The state of this game in the Middle east servers is extremely bad. I’m saying this from my personal experience, the game is next to dead in our region.
We can’t play conquest, breakthrough, rush and team deathmatch basically all the game modes except the first conquest playlist which is the new seasonal map with some base game map rework. Exodus conquest can be played but only 2 maps keep on getting repeated Arica Harbour and Valparaiso. We can’t even find games in other regions because DICE won’t allow it and DICE won’t even add a server browser. How are we even supposed to play this game?
Rush is my favourite gamemode but I have not played it even once on the Middle East servers since the game released because there’s no one playing it.
This issue is not limited to the Middle east. Basically any region with a low player count experience similar issues.
It is time DICE add a server browser otherwise whatever playerbase is left will also leave.
This is an important decision DICE it decides not only this game but weather I buy any future games.
Choose wisely.

It's a real shame that Battlefield has been reduced to this and it's high time DICE reversed their decision.
MM has got to be replaced if BF2042 is to survive.
Please define "survive"?
Sorry for teasing you @RayD_O1 , but personally feel that BF2042 has been in a vegetative state since around January 2022 or there about. Only still 'clinically alive' because its on artificial life support on a heart & lung machine 24/7. :o)
Expect it to be switched off shortly after the Season4 pack will drop and no further legal claims outstanding with the sold licenses...
Adding a server browser would be nice, yes. Even at this point way beyond 'late stage'. But reality is that BF2042 was near being a still born baby from birth. And having multiple and substantially severe disabilities. Hereof many still present today. So adding the server browser is not going to make the overall situation much better. Think that conclusion was already reached as well by the EA Higher Ups almost 1 year ago by now. And ultimately the reason why no substantial fixes have been added and all been drip fed of small fixes along the way by a skeleton crew.
The core is beyond salvation, the vast majority of players have fled and they are not coming back no matter.
Hence the resources, money and dev folks are better placed to work on the next big thing instead.
And it ain't BF2042 v1.02. :o)
The really big question is what the EA DICE learnings have been from this?
Aka also this super long thread on that singular game function of having a server browser in the BF game.
Will we get it now in the next big new BF game release?
I surely hope so!
And actually also come to the personal tipping point, that if it is not, I wont buy it.
I am done with it. No more compromises and hoping EA/DICE will come good and listen to the customers along the way...
