The next BF game needs BF3/4 style servers
From my experience since BF3 I feel the customized server experience has really declined in the last couple of BF titles, especially in BF5. Community servers of good quality help increase the repla...

Agree with OP completely. The BF5 setup is borderline insanity. All EA run public servers with no active moderation at all... who could have not seen this would be an absolute mess? The forums get active moderation.. the game servers don't... says a lot about the company priorities.
Add in the prolific issue on said servers whose name shall not be mentioned for fear of getting a warning and thread locked and you have what we are stuck with today.
IMHO the one thing BF5 did right was made the unlocks not a grind... really hated that in prior BF's and was the reason I'd hit the 24/7 2k ticket metro servers.. to grind out the unlocks.
If BF6 does not bring back rented servers or have some active server administration I'm probably going to pass. The current report function is a joke. I liken it to pressing the elevator button repeatedly hoping it will come faster. The same "disruptive" players show up night after night and spoil gameplay. All we get from EA is lipservice... if we get any response at all.
The current state of online play is a black eye for the franchise.
@stabbinhobo @stabbinhobo yea, between disruptive bad actors and unbalanced matches where one side may be have half its makeup be platooned players (not all of the same platoon but still, the average platooned player is better than the average player not in a platoon) there are few matches where the outcome is close enough.
Also that point catchup up they have on conquest is really annoying. Sometimes the one team waits out until he catchup kicks in to quickly get almost all the bases

^^^ Back in BC2 my team had a server that was always full with a line to get in. The reason.. we kept the riffraff out. We had admins on or quickly available 24/7. The miscreants usually got punted same match. Once you get a rep for permabanning people who want just to be disruptive in any manner... they just stay out.
We have the inverse of the above on the BF5 servers as I type. Nothing like playing 1 or 2 maps in the cookie cutter rotation just to get to a map you like to play.. only to have that round spoiled with "disruptive" players. And seeing those same disruptive players who have been on since launch up to the same shenanigans today... and they are lvl 400-500. Basically rewarded for making the rest of the players miserable.
Be sure to report because dice takes these issues seriously... also.. bridges 4 sale.. cheap.
If they do not bring back private servers at launch I'll either wait till they have them, take my money elsewhere or wait till the title hit's the bargain basement at a price point equal to a latte. I won't pay full tilt for another BF until they right this sinking ship. After this fiasco (which I pre ordered at full retail price), I no longer feel any loyalty to a franchise I've played since inception. EA & DICE have shown absolute contempt for the players who supported the franchise. If this is the look of things to come.. I won't be riding the next hot mess they release into the crater like Slim Pickens..
we just need V2K to get the derps out. get em all on their own server and the problems will disappear
it worked in the old days.
