Hopefully we can rent a server but I would like to see an improvement in this field please.
In battlefield 4 renting a server is a bit silly for some as we can’t fully customize it the way we want it to be played. We dont have much admin controlls either.
In Bf1 you will have less control than the previous games.
Got a source for that info?
Gulps
More admin control?!
Console players should have the same server options as PC players.
Plz
If not on par with PC, then at least more than what we had with bf4
Why can’t we just go back to official servers, without badmins and teamstacking?
I just want to play one match without having all the top players from one team “magically” swapped to the other side. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!
^^^^
Battlefield 1 server rant
I am a console player
There is no information to share about server rentals at this point in time, it is still early days - If it is a thing for consoles once again with Battlefield 1, then we will definitely relay that information.
I shall also pass on the feedback for more settings and tidbits too 
The fact that there is no information about server rentals at this point in time is the scary thing here. we are 4 months away from launch. Server providers at this point b4 release are already hyping about where to rent your server from. No one is hyping anything on sales of bf1 servers.
IMO all dedicated servers will be like BATTLEFRONT in some way. We may have a dedicated server browser but server rentals are going away. Server providers will no longer be able to RENT server to ppl. Match Making and private lobbies is the future for battlefielders. Just my opinion of course. EA/DICE want to be able to control the servers and want to take away server files in the hands of other companies.
I hope I am wrong and everyone can say I TOLD YOU SO !!! I fear I am right and things are gonna get worse in the “dedicated server” topic.
Server information is generally released AFTER the beta.
Does this pertain to pc only? I remember not being able to rent servers on console, for a few months after the release of bf4.
No BETA date announced either 4 months away. No Closed ALPHA invites to the community to test the servers and how they handle the load from PC/CONSOLE players on the net. I also thought that SERVER INFO that was released after beta was about the servers and commands not for sales. I could be wrong but if memory serves me right I had email spam from server providers boasting server sales on NEW GAMES that came out 5 to 6 months b4 release.
We got to watch a bunch of celebrities and youtubers play the game on EA/PLAY at a lan event with only 2 real winners of the EA PLAY contest on battlelog (RIPBATTLELOG)
A strong ALPHA/BETA showing and TIME to fix things that players find that are broken is needed to be able to have a STRONG launch. That would mean we get a look at the server browser and how its going to look and right now its a HUGE secret, why?? BETA will prob come out 4 weeks b4 launch and we will prob have to preorder bf1 to get it lol.
I guess I am just negative about this and those that read what I type should not read into it to much 
Again I hope I am wrong and everyone gets to tell me how wrong I am
Consoles did not receive the ability to rent dedicated server till way after launch for bf4.
@l-Snowblind-l Correct. I believe rental servers on console wasn’t available until the time Naval Strike DLC released.
Yes, that is much too much to ask. Why can’t you just play on official servers? The rest of us who prefer ranked servers can then happily play on that other set of servers. Nobody makes you play on ranked servers, but you’re trying to force the rest of us to play on official servers.
It’s not so much of an issue now because of the ‘Road to BF1’ servers, but there was a time earlier this year when there were far from enough official servers; especially given that they’re always popular, particularly with higher-level players, so the queues were ridiculous.
Not to mention that there continues to be almost no official DLC servers (Dragon’s Teeth and Second Assault especially, two best DLCs IMO), so if I want to get value for money on the massively overpriced Premium I shelled out for, I have to endure a power-mad admin or some bullsh*t ‘no shotgun’ or ‘no M320’ rules (basically whatever the owner gets killed by).
I don’t have a problem with custom servers themselves, but I do have a problem with EA slacking off and neglecting official DLC servers, hardcore servers, etc..
But see, EA doesn’t want to pay for servers, so they’re kinda stuck. If they lock down the servers, they will have a hard time getting players to shell out the money for them. If they run them all, they will have to pay for it (and will seriously damage the franchise by losing the variety and creativity the players have shown in creating customized games).
But sure, if you can convince EA to run a fleet of official servers, while also letting us run ranked servers like we do in BF4 (or preferably with more tweaks available like OP requested), I’m good with that.
