Hmmm… wonder why players are leaving..
DICE crapped down the throats of BF veterans with all the tiny COD boi maps, BR bull crap, and other non BF game modes. Then they linked challenges, Battlepass and skins that require these crap game...

Yeah bro we should have the one click OG server browser FOR ALL OFFICIAL DICE SERVERS and the classic Battlefield map rotations instead of … whatever the effe is going on now. Oh and just like we have the ability to do in pre 2042 Battlefield titles, the ability to permanently save 10 or more server browser searches.
It shouldn’t require 20 controller clicks, plus attached screenshots and a convoluted process to simply find the OG, standard server browser FOR ALL OFFICIAL CORE GAME MODES. The game simply needs the tried, tested and community approved Server Browser that we all know and love from BF4, BF1 and BFV.
The fact that 99% of the player base doesn’t know what you described even exists and the fact that you had to post several screens shots, along with accompanying instructions on how to find the actual OG server browsers, proves my point as stated in the previous paragraph.
People who want a server browser don't know how to use a server browser. The fact that I need to attach screenshots to prove that servers exist and need to explain how a server browser works (and always has!) indicates that all you complainers are the problem. You will never get what you want because you are too lazy to use what you want (and already exists).
You think a server browser should read your mind and telling it what you want and clicking 'apply filter' is TOO HARD and COMPLICATED. What you want is one button that will put you into the game. That's what you already have. It's called matchmaking. It sucks.
You only need to tell the server browser which game modes you want to search for, and whether you want to display full or empty servers (or how many empty slots is your preference). If you think that is too complicated or too many clicks, you are hopeless. It's like... 3 clicks? 6 clicks? Depends on what you want. This is the OG browser functionality we already had. Nothing new or more complicated. Only difference is you can't save a favorites list and sometimes it forgets your previous preferences. Big whoop! I'm pretty sure the OG server browsers forgot your search filter preferences each time you launched the game too. Play a server you liked? Take the time to write 4 or 5 characters onto a piece of paper.
Matchmake servers don't appear in the list because they are instances which constantly change. If you don't like matchmaking, don't worry about not being able to see them. Matchmake servers can't be joined in this way and would break the experience between each round anyway. ... so useless. They are incompatible technologies. If you want a server browser (which does exist!), you need to join persistant servers (which do exist!). You need to decide what you want and quit complaining about who has greener grass. If you want the OG experience, you need to use the server browser to join persistant servers. The OG experience didn't have matchmaking. You can't have both at the same time.
Quit complaining.
Have a good day!
I am glad that you can search the browser and get those results. When I search for games I only see 0 players in a game. Never do I see full servers.
Just because you have a positive experience does not mean we all do. If I filter Region: US and tag: Hardcore, my results are empty servers. It doesn't matter what time of day or day of the week, I always get empty servers.
Persistent servers should not be regulated to the browser, every game we join should be a persistent server. There should never be a game that kicks us out and joins a new server each time a game ends.
I think the Tag is the cause of your troubles. The tags seem to be broken. At least for me, tags always exclude almost everything. Another thing that can be improved.
I would search without tags, and then find what you want in the list. There are a ton of hardcore servers to choose from. You shouldn't need the tag in order to find them.
As the game dies, the community dies, and people refuse to do anything but matchmaking, these results will vary.

The portal server filters are just bad if they cannot even allow one to filter in only the full progression servers.
They promised a filter for progression ever since they started cracking down on the bot farm servers. Still nothing.
I can imagine a lot of players lose patience after they mouse over the 10th Modified XP server in a row
First of all, they are community servers. "Portal server" has negative connotations because there was a lot of garbage created. All community servers are published through the portal website, yes, but not all of them are customized in any way. I think it is more fitting to refer to them collectively as "community servers", as they are presented in the main menu of the game, and then refer to only the customized ones as "portal custom". There is no such thing as a portal server browser. There is no server browser on the portal publishing website. There is only a community server browser inside BF6, and therefore it is more fitting to refer to them as community servers listed in the community server browser.
The filters are sub-optimal. Yes. They can be improved. Yes. A ton. But, per your definition, the filters are not "bad".
You can filter in only the "full progression servers".
Click Filter. Click Maps & Modes. Select Conquest, Rush, and Breakthrough checkboxes (and Battle Royale, if you are odd). Apply. Presto, only full progression servers are listed.
If you see too many empty servers, apply the 1-5 or 6-10 available slots option in order to see only populated servers.

I will make sure to try that. But I am pretty sure people can make Conquest, Rush and Breakthrough into modified XP.
