Match making is trash

I know, I know… you don't give a f***. The community asked for dedicated servers and a proper server browser, but who cares about these dumb cash cows? Instead, we get the worst matchmaking in the history of any game ever.
20× defender in a row? Love it. Fun match with a full lobby ended? Let's split all players! Have fun with a 5v5 + bots next round. Oh, you don't like that? Leave the game and join another one: 6v6 + bots. Great. But hey, just give it another try… aaand it's another 5v5 with bots. Instead of one merged lobby, there are plenty of half-empty bot lobbies at the same time. Great job! And not those great Halo bots with tactical movement from 25 years ago… nope. Stupid walking cardboards.
This, the focus on xXqUiCkSkopEZzXxHD CoD sniper kiddies (no bullet drop, sweet spot one-shots, no-revive headshots), no penalty for spawn camping as the attacking Team, 100% TRASH maps (I play break through 95% of the time) , no input-based cross-play (or console/PC-separated cross-play), the removal of revive stats from the scoreboard, and all the other “great” features you implemented make BF6 even worse than fully patched BF2024. I only played 2024 because it was one of the monthly free games for PS+ subs and hate to confess, that I bought BF6 for the full price... 

I know there are many similar threads like this but I don't want to leave my (ex...) favorite game series in silence where I spent most of my gaming time. Even though I know DICE does not care. Bye and R.I.P.

    If you search for and join an experience using the server browser (you act like doesn't exist), you won't have matchmaking problems, you won't play defender 20 times in a row, and the teams won't be split up at the end of each round. Just sayin...

    People love to complain, but they hate to give Portal a chance. It's your choice.

    Yeah I am not going to play on 30hz Servers, thank you.

  • If you guys started using the persistent servers -- that exist -- using the server browser -- that exists -- you would have exactly what you want. You can't keep choosing to use the matchmaking and complaining about the matchmaking.  I know no one does, so that's why no one does. But what you want has been built, they just haven't come. Point being, that if enough of you who constantly complain about this, did what you can to avoid this, you would have enough people in portal to stop complaining that the only reason you don't use portal is because no one is there.

    I agree, the matchmaking is absolutely shocking.

    i like to play with crossplay off but it’s causing issues now with countless bot lobbies due to the constant disbanding of lobbies.

    EVERYONE would be so much happier with persistent servers and a server browser but no… for whatever reason they are ignorant to it.

    Right now there are exactly 0 breakthrough "experience" servers online with more than 2 players connected. And the only servers with any players on are promoted as AFK XP Farms. Portal and regular match making is completely separated.

    Why would I not complain? It is over 25 years after Counter Strike 1.6, 15 years after Battlefield 3 and it just worked in these old games. I just have no idea why they decided to change that.
