Please do ... Like i said servers browsers were usefull at a age where matchmaking was unexistant ..
Then servers browser were good in previous BF because they allowed modded servers with weird rules and players owns servers with special map rotations etc... And was used for this specifically because most of the time near full servers were filled up as soon as you clicked and end up in a queu ...
As for matchmaking we have now .. Conquest games at least 128 players one are always full and if they end up having drop players they are filled up in a instant ..
So having any servers browsers would be useless totally because youd be " compeating " to enter with the automatically matchmake players .. and youd end up in a worst senario than previous BF near full lobbys .. Since there is no lobby persistance and its a good thing in a way .. Because you have the chance to face different opponents and are not stuck in a loop where a insanely skill team is always on the same side and the other side are meat grinders flesh who just get stomp non stop ..

@Stew360Please do what?
And your arguments don´t make any sense, whe have had quickmatch options in several previous Battlefield game togheter with the server browser and it has worked flawlessly. And again we are not asking for custom servers in the all out war mode, we want to be able to see the standard Dice servers in a browser just like in BF1 and BFV toghether with a quickmatch/mathcmaking option.
I will repeat RayD´s question since you don´t seem to read his full posts

"As a matter of interest what harm would it do to your gaming experience if a Server Browser was introduced tomorrow. ?? "You just took the words right out of my mouth I was about to write that.
As I have said before I am not looking for custom servers in AOW I want to play on DICE Official servers.
We have Portal for anyone who requires the custom server experience and I have no problem with that whatsoever
And as you say just like in BF1 / BFV with Quickmatch / Matchmaking option.
@Stew360 would you not accept what we are saying would work and if not please tell us why not. I personally do not want to deprive anyone from enjoying the game but MM is ruining my BF2042 experience and frustrates me and many others for the reasons quoted above. ?
- 4 years ago@Blackidus There is no harm its just pointless useless ... Server browser are there since Day one where it made sens In portal ..
- Kyosji4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Stew360 Only issue is you have no say in matchmaking. You are forced to join whatever map it decides to put you on with whatever players, whether it be bots or players. It doesn't care about your wants or needs. Played renewal 4 times in a row? How about a 5th? Oh look! A game that has 150 tickets left, I know you want to play here!
Matchmaking simply is just forced play, and doesn't care if you're having fun or not. Old school server browsers gave you choices, which is what players want. Sadly, though, Battlefield players are not the target audience for Battlefield 2042.- 4 years ago@Kyosji You shouldn't be able to camp 2 maps or camp 1 side .. Metro 24/7 bs type of thing does not belong in the core experience .. Full map rotation should be required for progressions ..
Also can you choose maps in Halo Core MP ? In COD core MP ? in any games with matchmaking ? No and you shouldn't be ...
Servers browser make sens when custum experience are present not in regular matches ... Allowing poeoples to try to skip and choose maps will only create issues where poeoples wont even give a shot to maps they dont do well right away in .. And crap like this creates the caspian border/ metro24/7 locker24/7 senarios- 4 years ago
@Stew360This is a horrendous take.
#1 This is not CoD and nor Halo, both of which are a different experience all together so matchmaking works (because of the size of teams/maps/gameplay).
#2 Linking progress to a broken and unnecessary matchmaking system will kill anyone's will to play the game as they try to finally get into a usable match for their progression. That's where the browser (if you're going to implement a bad idea like progression locked to having to play all maps) is about 10000x better than matchmaking.
#3 Browsers allow for player choice, which is definitely what players want and deserve. This whole "the big multi billion dollar conglomerate knows best" mentality is how we get a game like 2042.

To sum up :
A server Browser offers the choice to play the game the way you want to with who you want to and for as long as you want to you.
You can stay on a server and play through the whole map rotation with your squad / friends.
That's the way I want to play BF2042.
MM on the other hand forces you to play the map of its choice, play with new players after each map, and kicks you back to the lobby after every round to start it all again.
On many occasions you are put into the same map or the round ends after a minute or two which is very frustrating. At times, I have not been able to play my favorite map for a couple of days because of MM, how is that fun. ?
So to sum up as you say @Kyosji a Server Browser is all about choices and MM is all about forcing you to play the game you paid for the way it decides.
I know which I prefer. 😃
