Unfortunately, matchmaking doesn't put players in custom servers, so they never fill up with players. BFV's custom servers were dead on arrival due to this issue.
The only way this is going to be a win-win for people who enjoy player vs player. Is if DICE builds a good matchmaking system which continually adds new players throughout the entire round. From the beginning of the round until the end of the round.
Based on what I've seen with BFV's matchmaking system, it will group a bunch of players together, start a new server instance in Amazon Cloud, and then connect all those players to the new server. Only adding players at the beginning of the round and not adding players mid-way through the round.
Hopefully the beta proves me wrong but based on DICE's matchmaking track record, I have serious doubts about that. And their use of bots to fill empty player slots says to me they're not confident in their matchmaking system either.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see in the beta test. 😌
