Hey guys, Not sure where i can put this, hoping it gets thru to community development team. BF2MC had in game clan support, a matchmaking lobby where you could find other teams wanting to play. You could decide on map, player count and ready up which would put both teams in a private server. Was played over 2 rounds (each side of the map) with winner decided by tickets. The result then was registered for your clan in an ongoing leaderboard. It was the greatest piece of functionality in ANY console team based game i and those VETS who played early days have ever seen/experienced. It has been sorely missing from every BF since. Many of us have REQUESTED this to be re-included with each new BF. It hasnt happened, but worse none of us have even had our request recognised properly. I think they added some functionality to battlelogs that would set up a reminder, but essentially it was still external solution from the game. Having a matchmaking lobby in game means its front and centre, promoted as such and will be more widely used. For a game of BFs scale with vehicle counts its imperative this type of in game support is essential, especially when you have large clans/platoons + a 2yr development life cycle to keep EVERYONE engaged and active. One of the biggest transients to large clans is they arent active enough scheduling matches thru 3rd party websites. Having this functionality allows for multiple matches 24/7 and THOROUGHLY engage your community as a result. PLEASE DICE WEVE ASKED ABOUT THIS FOR 9YRS NOW – PRIOR TO BFBC1 AND HAD NO LOVE. YOU WANT TO BE THE #1 SHOOTER THEN PLEASE BRING BACK THE IN GAME CLAN SUPPORT LIKE YOU HAD IN BF2MC. THAT MADE THE COMMUNITY GLOBAL AND WE ALL MISS THAT FROM ALL SHOOTERS SINCE. IT WAS AN EDGE NO OTHER CONSOLE GAME HAD – MAKES NO SENSE WHY YOUD GO BACKWARDS WHEN YOU WERE LIGHT YEARS IN FRONT??? MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT BF2MC OG’S AND VETS FROM XBOX, 360, AND PS2 ---

Something like that should definitely be in the game. ---

Thanks man, yeah, they had it in BF2MC and it made the game epic. Theres a few boys in a facebook group dedicated to BF2MC talking about how good it was that it nearly cost them their marriage/fail school/lose a job hahaha…we’ve been around since 2005/6 and have no idea why it isnt in the Battlefields since, it was an edge DICE had over no other game. ---

Heres some links over many years we have asked and had nothing back from DICE or the community managers. Very disheartening for your long serving fanbase. A long history of requesting this important feature, not just for us BUT FOR DICE AND THE FRANCHISE TO KICK EVEN MORE BUTT!!!..(its crazy they havent re-implemented this advantage) Some posts I found regarding this…all saying the same story about BF2MC clan support. > **[Battlefield 3 Clan Support - N4G](https://n4g.com/news/758652/battlefield-3-clan-support)** [Battlefield 2: MC vs Battlefield 3 Clan Support](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/battlefield-2-mc-vs-battlefield-3-clan-support/176995) battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/ru/forum/threadview/2832654624800998512/14/ [BF2Modern Combat is the best BF game](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/bf2modern-combat-is-the-best-bf-game/257069) battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/en/forum/threadview/2832654624712671989/ battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654624766535514/ battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2955064783571223848/2/ battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2955065231358496325/ battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654489441322675/4/ battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/en/forum/threadview/2832654489416679473/ battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2979150493785969639/2/ battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654490346282159/ battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654625302283636/ THATS JUST MY FIRST GOOGLE SEARCH PAGE… ---

Totally agree with bringing back in game clan support! It would make the game relevant for even longer! They would have a larger base community with each title release, as most clans would move over to the next title(assuming clan support would remain). It was implemented well enough on older platforms that I don’t understand why it was stripped away. Especially with how active it was. Players want the experience of being part of a large scale team. Not just a small squad! It’s a more engaging experience overall. I miss the highly competitive environment. Thanks for posting and referencing so many past requests SALT! ---

No problems, and well said, that was just the first page, there were a lot more but I thought posting more would be overkill… ---

bump…it really is the most important of considerations. I see Demise aka Alan Kertz responding to posts on weapon trigger stops so its encouraging to see. Would love some quality discussion with the honchos on this. Every BF2MC player i know rates this 2005/6 in game functionality as the best experience within a console shooter they ever experienced. We are a mature community, this stuff in game brings out the best in communities through engagement. Would be the ducks nuts for both local and international communities, a deeper shade of soul… ---

A melee weapon like the purple thingy in saints row 3 would be a great addition to the game too, please DICE ! ---

Well this topic is finally closed/resolved after 9yrs. Mate just posted me link to news about new functionality CLUBS, LOOKING FOR, ARENA Which is basically clan support built into XBL. Thats amazing as it was a hot rumour some bloody 9yrs ago or thereabouts this was going to happen. Was bought up discussed amongst a few of us if perhaps that was why BFBC1 didnt have clan support. About bloody time, this will be epic for BF teams to organise games easily 24/7…best news ever. This will be good, very good ---

Ahh can google E3 news XBOX Clubs, Looking For Group, Arena. The article i read was on gamerant. Actually having read more on it, ARENA might just be tournaments that community and devs create. Hoping theres a bit more than that. Not sure if Clubs will intergrate with Arena like i first thought, and not sure if Looking For Group will be used to find other teams to play or not. I think Arena is the only new functionality that will be used by BF1, I hope that alone will have all the necessary options to find teams to play etc Yeah initially i thought all 3 were all used together, but i think they are seperate which may not be the complete esports solution i thought it was going to be. Need to wait till they release more info on it all ---

great great idea. Building the community is more important than anything in a game like this.
