You got a link or a source for that?
Are they planning on using it for the Battlefield franchise?

@Ironhead841Its a simple logic really. You can call me a tinfoil conspiracy theorist if you will.
But EA is following Activision's steps. In order to stop people from "Ohmagad I die from 1000m he don't evens me, must be hacking" people, they will have to introduce some kind of system that prevents players of different skill level playing against each other. Especially now that cross play is a thing
CoD is doing it to extreme levels, reducing damage and hit registratio for players who are too good etc. Its bananas over there.
Here they're testing out soft SBMM that tries to somewhat level the playing field.
And its working a little. Games aren't super lopsided. I mean in previous games most matches ended in a disaster for the enemy team with 800 point difference. In 2042 most games of Conquest 128 are ending with a 200-300 point difference. There are exceptions, but still.
EA has slowly been pulling out from Rental Servers. BF1, then BF5 had no rented servers, only official. And now BF2042 has no servers at all. I believe what you're saying but it sure as hell doesn't make a lot of sense to me, I would rather the option to play with who I want, when I want and where I want over SBMM any day.
Not having a server browser and persistent servers is probably one of the biggest gripes I see coming from other players. I would like to think they might have learned something from the matchmaking debacle that is in THIS game, but I guess not.
If they are planning on doing it for the next Battlefield game, I hope they are up front and honest about it at least.

100% this. - ATFGunr3 years agoLegend@UP_LordPlumberDude no offence but I hope you’re super wrong 😉 It would effectively cap a game at player levels a new player couldn’t reach, and couldn’t find a game to get into. I like being challenged, makes it that much better when you beat ‘em. They’ve never been able to find a skill based system that works. And with EA trying… you just know it’s going to be poorly executed.
- YourLocalPIumber3 years agoSeasoned Ace@ATFGunr Trust me, I hope I'm wrong too. But FPS games are going south. CoD has all kinds of SBMM and insane aim assist making m&k useless, HALO is adding literal aim assist for mouse and keyboard users.
I REALLY hope Battlefield franchise would stay away from all of this nonsense.And I also would love to see a server browser. Just trying to look at a bigger picture here. - Ahhnuld3 years agoSeasoned Ace@UP_LordPlumber Hey, its the "everyone gets a trophy" generation, right? I have no problem getting beat down by a better player. I do have an issue with getting shot through walls and what appears to be a single pistol shot while flying through the air on a 180 spin and snap.

At least SBMM would be a lot better than the current situation...
But no dedicated server is absolutely not comprehensible for me....We need Server with different setting and modes..., also mixed mode and so on.
Without dedicated Server it will probably stay the same.....🤮
yeah on every server they're yelling cheater .... I personally never saw a cheater in this BF.
