Where are the Dice official servers for PC?
Just got the game on PC after struggling thru the worst gaming experience in my life, which was BF4 on PS3. The game looks AMAZING but still plays kinda crappy...although not as bad as on last gen....

I don't really know how this really works as I am new to gaming, but I just been kicked from an "OFFICIAL" server. So please explain how and why?

In the server browser filters there are settings for "official" and settings for "ranked" and "unranked". If the server is set to official the admin cannot kick or ban or make rules (since even if he did he can't kick or ban). The only thing an admin can do is change map\game mode stuff like that. So if you want the normal battlefield experience without the admins enforcing their will only select "official" mode servers.
This entire thread is ridiculous and annoying, and here is why.
OP expects DICE (Developers) to answer on Answers HQ (A forum for the players to help players), if OP was so worried about talking with DICE he would know that to get official support on Battlefield 4 you use Battlelog Forums or EA Support, and yes developers answer and supply support on Battlelog Forums, not Answers HQ.
OP expects EA/Dice to supply thousands of servers, saying other companies have done it in the past. This is ridiculous, there's no company in the world that supplies thousands of servers for their games, they all use P2P systems and dedicated servers, with a few dozens they host themselves like EA/Dice did with Battlefield 4.
To make matters worse, EA/Dice has done a great job on adding Official Servers tag to any servers that use vanilla settings. Meaning on this Official servers the Admins can only change the maps/gamemodes, and EA/Dice along with Punkbuster are the only ones with rights to kick/ban players.
No offense, but I think OP is everything besides mature, coming with false accusations and flame towards EA/Dice with no knowledge at all about what he is talking about. Plus he refuses to listen and keeps flaming, so yes, this thread is ridiculous.
Okay I literally read through this entire thread because I am actually having THE SAME ISSUSE!what he is trying to say is that most games have official servers where you just click the game mode and it brings you to the game and everyone plays happily without someone other than dice being in control. We don't want to play on some server where someone gets to choose how long you play, what maps you play, what guns you have access to, etc... You idiots are responding to him in the worst way possible and are not giving him an acceptable answer in the slightest! You have no idea what he or yourself are talking about and should not even be able to post responses to "help" people out. You respond and make it look like he's being stupid when he actually has a point. You should try to be more helpful when people ask questions. If you don't know the answer THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING. nobody said you HAD to respond. He is asking people who actually know what they are talking about. SO I know it's a new year but I have the same question. HOW DO U JOIN OFFICIAL SERVERS NOT RUN BY SOMEBODY OTHER THAN DICE. I was to acess the guns I have earned through playing the game. I want to play maps in the order DICE has chosen. I want to have the tick rate be what DICE has chosen. I want the kill feed and chat feed to be setup THE WAY DICE HAS CHOSEN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Don't respond if you don't know! Thank you 🙂

@NosamRetsof you just Necro'd a year old thread, the Battlefield landscape has greatly changed with BF1 being introduced and no third party servers in BF1, however the same restrictions that were present in our year old posts are still present on PC in BF4 - nothing has changed. If you want a classic BF experience choose only "official" preset in your server browser or use quick match during the times that quick match isn't broken. There is no other option on PC since DICE doesn't host BF4 servers on that platform.
I'm not sure to whom your rant calling people idiots and saying that the people don't know what they are talking about is directed, however as a sever admin on multiple platforms that include both PC and console I know exactly what I am talking about so please reread all of my responses for the correct answer. Since this thread has been both necro'd and has gone down the road of ad hominem arguments I am closing it.
