Hi Everyone,

Just a short question. If you can let me know what you think, I’d really appreciate it.

When I join a server that shows full 64/64 (this only happens at night time when not a lot of people are playing), I see the server being populated by only 4-5 players or I find it completely empty. I know what you may say -you have to refresh the server browser before joining to see the latest info- but that’s what I do everytime. I refresh it and it still shows servers being full and I join to an empty server. Is this done on purpose to attract players or is this an issue/glitch?

Thank you all.

Check the server page before you join - the server browser often shows cached search data. The server page itself shows current status at the time you access it, and updates in realtime when you enable score tracking.

It’s called ‘seeding’. Admins do that to make the server seem full so people will join. They are so incredibly stupid though because it screws the server.

theas servers are hackers nest don’t join them and don’t bother reporting them. EA DICE love hackers and the admins in this forums too. that’s why they protect them

Its just sad that big server names using it, unfortunately it is forbidden to call them.

If you take the extra step in Battlelog and click on “VIEW FULL SERVER PAGE” on the bottom right side of the page it will give you an accurate player list.

Yeah, it’s usually still wrong. Then you join the server, it’s empty, so you quit to menu, only to find you’ve gone offline. Then you have to close and load BF4 again.

The game is unplayable. Servers all have fake readouts in Battlelog and ingame, have no way of finding real players.

Or jets, or Sabot rounds, or TOW, or M240B, or Claymores or C4. Therefore pointless. 😃
