    Hi @Teal_Pipo_Fredo ,

    I can definitely concur @Smokey_353 above that his European "Smokey & Combat's Classics" server with the mix of classic maps is a great and entertaining place to play! 

    I also run myself a larger batch of various servers, but they are most part specialized in just one or a few maps only, most with high ticket counts and/or with specific weapon rules to balance the game play between the two team sides and emphasize the aiming/strategic skills of the players to be the decisive factor.  One of the servers is though a classic 800-tickets hxrdcore Metro server with no rules, if you want try that out one day.  Very quick, intense and fun game rounds.

    The main reason that anybody decides to run (and pay for) a server is exactly to have a server with game conditions that are not just the standard DICE vanilla version.  As if that was the case, then no need to rent a server really, as you can then just join to play on an existing DICE server.  So that is probably the main reason why you say 'it is so hard to find a good server', if you search for rented servers, but only those stays with standard DICE vanilla game parameters. 

    Alternatively therefore, I would suggest you search for DICE servers with the maps (or map rotations) that you would like to try out.

    Now here early morning European time, their European servers are not all active, but during the day and evening you find many great servers available to join.  Set up your server search filter to match your desired scope, and its pretty quick and easy to always have the full list popping up every time you start your PS4 with BF4 !

    You can also quick search via any web browser through the Battlelog Server Browser, including the specific filters/criteria you want for your gaming experience.  Like this example, with European DICE server, 800 tickets, normal mode only:

    Multiplayer - Battlelog / Battlefield 4

    Hope to see you soon on the battlefield !  :o)

If your playing BF4 on playstation, you can tryout my servers

Smokey & Combat's Dragon Valley     (only Dragon Valley)

                     or

Smokey & Combat's Classics              (Nice Classic Mix of maps)

We have a great bunch of people and some really good admins  we are very easy to get ahold of to solve problems if needed.

Hope this helps and I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

    @CyberDyme 

    Hi! I understand that game condition changes are what makes Battlefield pleasing experience for many. I wouldn't even have a problem with it if there could be tools for restrictions in what you can't equip on loadouts (equipment and perk bans visible in loadout menu and unequippable).

    Thanks for the tips! :3

      Very much agreed @Teal_Pipo_Fredo ,

      On the PC platform there the admins can pro-configure what weapons are available to all the players to choose from when in the gameplay.  Unfortunately then EA did not implement that feature for the XBox- and PS consoles of the same game...

      If they had cared to do so, it would have been much easier to enforce the weapon rules that you may prefer to run your server with.

      Likewise the PC platform has the latency parameter available to avoid high latency coming onto the server and causing it to lag and ultimately crash again and again for all players on it.  Hit registration/bullet sponging is also a serious problem with high latency players.  Which again is a feature EA should be much more serious about enabling for all platforms, so we can ensure a great playing experience for all.

        Hopefully something will be right for you soon enough!!

        I guess its down to personal preference of Servers, but there are some good ones out there again depends Hardcore or Normal but some real fun servers on BF4 both Hardcore and Normal...
