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...

Doubt I would make the cut for EA or DICE's corporate culture. I'm not nearly woke nuff and being in retail I think of the customer first.
Eh.. the "disruptive" players are clearly in charge at the moment. Doubt EA gives what is happening on their servers any thought at all. Based on their actions to date they think the BF5 player base are all obsessed with new skins instead of issues that ruin gameplay.
Here's to hoping we either get BF3~4 admin controls back -or- this franchise dies the death it needed after BF1.
I seem to be living in an alternate universe to the rest of the Battlefield community ???? The BFV platoon that I am gaming with have a server. We have the ability to remote admin the server with half a dozen admins that can monitor the server and remove disruptive players. We are able to keep the server online even when it's empty so the ban list preserves over multiple days. We can change the servers settings and map rotations (not wholesale changes but turn settings like ff on or off, add maps, just not change between 64p and 32p) without having to close down the server.
Now this is about half the functions of the BF1 solution but does allow our platoon to play in the evening peak hours without being trolled by the disruptive players out there whose only gaming objective is empty the server..
And if you can't work out how to do this with your own clan then how you going to work procon ??

@ShevermiN and BF1's RSP had far fewer admin tools that even the Console versions of BF3\4 so those of us who've admined servers for years see how much DICE has tied our hands in recent entries and that is precisely what we want and need to correct by being vocal about needing an equivalent to procon\rcon and not the recent watered down admin tools. In fact the guy that created procon now works for DICE - if only they'd use him in that role.
Games like BF2, BC2, BF3 and BF4 had large thriving community years after the official end of life specifically because of robust server tools to build and maintain communities and events.
- @ShevermiN How do you keep it online when empty ?, we are dying to know.
