Servers - Will we get them?
As a BF / Gaming community (clan) member, one of our big concerns are the servers.. will we have full access? dedicated servers? or what? This needs to be addressed early on so at release there is...

Took you that long to figure out? lol. I hope you're right, because I don't think we need 3rd party servers that just abuse their power. Custom maps were nice, but not the abuse of pumped chest admits.
You clearly don't understand the value that exists with these options being readily accessible from DAY ONE of release.
I don't understand why we can't have Battlepass systems and cosmetics shops available, while also having either direct or 3rd party hosting services available (including full admin rights to manage/customize modes, maps, functionality to balance teams, etc...).
Some people are concerned that Battlepasses and new content releases would be certain to eliminate this as a possibility... Why exactly?
I don't understand why it wouldn't be possible for EA to either provide hosting through a partnership with AWS or simply contract out those services to another company. They will be missing the mark if they go without some sort of solution to this. Here's to hoping they hear our concerns before it's too late.

You're right I don't have a clue what you are saying. I'm all for customizing, unless it excludes snipers or limited snipers, but only snipers is okay. ; ) I don't like rules or being controlled. Don't like admits with the power to kick and feel like I'm playing the game with someone's thumb on me trying to hold me down.
I think their more focus on console and PC is less priority. High gpu prices aren't helping PC.

Options are key....if there are dedicated/rental servers and they have a bunch of bs rules (i.e can't be within 50m of an opponents spawn area, can't this can't that... excluding the obvious, cheating) then I just don't join.
With this game, if all is as it seems, myself and my clanmates can keep the little 11 yr olds that talk s### and tie up mic with nonsense....and or pretend mods barking rules, out of our room....and just roll with and against AI.......in big, bad-a@@ maps 🍺😎🍺
Let the players decide how they want to play!
Offer custom servers as a revenue stream and give the admin paying for that server as many options as possible to customize the gaming experience there. Hardcore mode, bots or no bots, infantry only, no weather events, night mode, . . . whatever.
I agree with previous comments that those could be used to market the game through Twitch and other streaming platforms. People would probably line up to join their favorite Twitch streamer's server and take a shot at killing them or making the Twitch feed.
@SOCOMDEATHDEALR
I hate listening to whining and crying. The only rule should be don't cry how you got killed. Which was a problem in BF3-4. Rules made whiners, not solders.
Yes, if BF1-V played certain maps I probably would have played more. Maybe they don't want the games to live for ever, unless they can keep making money.
I'm all for customizing. But say servers that want to be able to kick players for ANY reason or limit snipers should be privet only. You give an inch people take a mile.
- @FearNoTears You'd be surprised how many people " want " limitations on some classes or weapons and join servers just because they have these implemented.
We will always have people who * and moan in any game we have, I see it a lot in bf1/5 and thats without moderation.
