The server system in BF6 is probably the worst I’ve ever seen in a BF game.
It’s literally a lottery as to what server you get put in.
Portal is a mess. For someone who spent 99% of my time in 2042’s portal, I can sadly say that I have no interest in using BF6’s portal. They don’t give us custom game mode templates and the vast majority of settings from 2042 are missing. So it’s not easy to make an experience, change settings and add some code.
Trying to host a server in BF6 is still a nightmare. And I refuse to sit there mindlessly mashing the host button anymore.
Why are we still in a situation where hosting a server is so difficult?
So that leaves us with core/ matchmaking servers. And things aren’t much better there.
It’s pot luck where the server will be geographically. One match your ping will be good. Next match, it seems the server is in Outer Mongolia.
Round ends, you get chucked into another server. New random players. Can’t stay with the same bunch from the previous round.
Also, if you select a game lode (eg conquest) from custom search, sometimes you get thrown into a completely different game mode. What’s that all about? Really annoying when you’re forced to play certain game modes for assignments.
All in all, the server regions, performance, convenience and quality of life is pretty awful.
