So have we heard weather or not we are getting a server browser. I know since they have announced Portal we have just assumed that means we get a server browser. But 15 mins trying to get a game in Star Wars Battlefront reminded me of how fond EA is of removing server browsers from their games... Titanfall..So am I just being paranoid, I mean you can't have portal without a server browser, or can you ??? Has there been any conformation from the Dev's or are we just assuming there will be one.

@ShevermiN Nothing has been explicitly said about whether there will be a browser or not. Given the number of experiences there'll probably be for Portal, we probably will have one. That's an assumption on my part though.

Yeah I would think also but this quote"You’ll also have the ability to share your Experiences with the community through an Experience Link (a URL), giving fellow players the power to share that Experience or even remix it with their own additions."And this quote "If you end up liking another player’s Experience, you can Follow that player to keep track of when they’re running matches. As a creator, you’ll be able to share your own creations and give others permission to build upon them with their Settings and logic edits (more on that below). Some of the most creative and popular player-created Experiences will be featured in official curated playlists, making it convenient for you to find fun and inventive new matches the moment you load into Battlefield Portal."I think someone need to ask the dev's a more specific question about a browser..

@1Hairy-Gorilla if it has sbmm I’m out… I might as well play CoD

@D3AD_M3AT_au Yeah, all the manipulation and alrogrithmic nonsense on CoD has driven a lot of players away, including me. It isn't the same game it was when it first came out. It was really good at the start, but then they starting messing with things, and now it is just too frustrating.

@1Hairy-Gorilla It might well be the case. I'm hoping otherwise as I'd hate to lose the browser. It's so handy.

@ShevermiN I think one of the devs did confirm there will be a server browser for Portal but can't remember exactly which article it was.

Good point, i just assumed there would be a browser. I mean how else would you find a match?
Go through a tonne of options, ticking boxes, adjusting parameters...then for the game to say "No matches found".
Surely there will be a browser...surely lol
