Re: Add a server browser
@Mackstan71
Totally agree guys, especially a positive response as that would lift BF2042 to a completely new level and improve the whole gameplay experience for everyone.
DICE please make it happen.

BF2042 needs a Server Browse / Persistent Servers for AOW.
The Official Weekly Portal Experiences are more enjoyable to play because they allow players to stay on the same server and play through the whole map rotation without being dumped back to the lobby after every single round.
MM has removed choice and totally randomised how we get to play BF2042, in some cases it is actually denying players access.
I hope to see the Server Browser returned asap for the good of BF2042 and all future BF's.
I haven't played in a few weeks, so I needed to get caught up on the weekly Battle Pass missions. One of the missions is to play a round of Reclaimed. How can I do this in AOW? I have played for about 6 hours now and have yet to get that map in any game mode.
Either remove map related missions from the Battle Pass or add a Server Browser so I can select Reclaimed and complete the mission, geez.
Take a look, how many features the game lack now compared to 10 years ago, this is BF4 server browser look how many filters we have :
BF2042 and all future BF's should all have a proper Server Browser / Persistent Servers, it's not a proper BF game without them.
DICE please listen to the community and replace MM for the good of this game and the BF franchise going forward.

@Raptor_i81seeing tick rates as high as 144 back in the early 2010s is sad.
How did we advance so much in both computing and networking technologies to get saddled with a game with 45Hz?
I agree it is very sad to see the BF series reduced to this level. ☹️
I sincerely hope that DICE revert a lot of the decisions they have taken with BF2042 so we can get the BF series back on track.
We need better quality servers and a proper Server Browser / Persistent Servers so we can get back to playing the way we played in all previous BF games.
DICE please listen to the community, many of the missing elements at launch have now been implemented.
DICE just need to take that final important step and replace MM with a proper Server Browser / Persistent Servers, imho it would simply transform BF2042.
Alongside other improvements being made to BF2042 the addition of a Server Browser / Persistent Servers would be #1 on my list of changes that could elevate the game to a whole new level.
Just imagine how much better BF2042 would be if we could choose our server to play on and stay on it all day playing through all the maps in rotation.
It would literally eliminate the frustration / time wasted in lobbies after every round and stop us getting bored having to play the same maps one after the other.
DICE please make this happen so all players can enjoy BF2042 to the full.
I prefer to play BT and Exposure. I got Breakaway as defender 5 times in a row after requeing. I spend more time in the MM queue than I do in the actual game playing. Is that what DICE wants? It is beyond ridiculous. Indie games have server browsers, that is how low the bar has fallen for BF.
Sorry people, it seems that their new standard is get less and pay more. It looks like their glory days are over...quality went down faster than a politician changing his mind...what a shame.
I know I'm kicking myself in the head, but I still hold out hope that a Server Browser and Persistent Servers can happen.
At the end of the day a server browser is only a spreadsheet, it can't be that hard to implement. I'll make it for them if they want, gfx will be rubbish though😃
@sk1lld
Totally agree, as long as it functioned correctly imho it would still be a massive improvement over the current MM.

I totally agree, it is really sad that we spend so much wasted time in MM queues, time that should be spent actually playing the game.
For me, the decision to replace the Server Browser with MM was the biggest retrograde step for the BF series.
Portal has more than a server browser. U can increase the time to kill rate, remove vehicles, disable the hacker minimap, choose the map rotation, disable meta weapons...
But EA/DICE dont want, that we play portal. No one want to play alone. When u add AI, than u get no progress.
PS: Remove the xp restriction for ai filled portal games.
Battlefield 2042 could be so much better with portal...

And it definitely should happen as it's not a proper BF title without a Server Browser / Persistent Servers.
BF2042 or any future BF can not function without them, MM simply does not cater for players needs in a multiplayer game.
@ScamSimulator
I play the Weekly Portal Experiences and really enjoy being able to stay on the same server and play through the complete map rotation.
AOW would also be so much better if it had a Server Browser / Persistent Servers like we had in all previous BF's.
Matchmaking after every round kills the enjoyment for me, it splits squads, it's unnecessary and time consuming and it means you end up playing the same map a lot of the times.
Matchmaking also means that a lot of players have no access in their regions which imho is unacceptable.
DICE please replace MM and help all players to get the best out of BF2042.
So bored in being pigeon holed into playing conquest only. Portal match's seem to be either full of AI or extreme hardcore. We need a SB and Persistent Servers so bad. Last week I actually MM into my first game of breakthough since 3 months after launch! Only got on round in and then there were not enough players to MM into it again.
I only like 2 maps in this game. I demand to have the choice to play these maps. We didnt ask for a COD matchmaking. What kind of joke is this?

That is a terrible inditement and something that shouldn't be happening in any game, all players should / must have access.
It proves yet again that MM will never be an acceptable alternative to the proper Server Browser / Persistent Servers that worked well in all previous BF's.

Yeah I totally agree with you the lack of persistent servers and map rotation is so frustrating.
With so few maps we need to be able to have access to them all, there are maps I rarely get to see at all because of these MM limitations.
