BF4 Server browser showing wrong player count

I have this issue with the ingame server browser for BF4 aswell as the Battlelog browser version. It shows me servers have almost full player lists but then when i connect its only me or maybe1-2 other players on the server. Very frustrating ☹️

    This is done on purpose by communities who own the server or if they do not to this themselves then they are being targeted by bots. This used to be done through a browser plugin. I do not know how it works today but it still exists. Some hosting companies even do it by default.
  • Yeah I get this a lot of the time aswell, it is infuriating after awhile, especially when you're trying to squad with a friend and you have to keep backing out and rejoin other servers till you find one that isn't lying about it's player count.

    This is really annoying for a host to do if it is intentional, and then if its from an outside source causing this to happen then they need to get less free time on their hands if this is how they like to spend their days lol.

    This has been a problem for quite awhile now and is very frustrating. But to save yourself the time and 

    hassle of loading up empty servers, just click view full server page. It always shows who's actually on the server.
