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!
