I know it’s 3:30 in the morning but I just got home from my works do and jumped onto battlefield.  
Nobody is playing!  
Even at this time in the U.K. The servers were rammed.  
DICE, you’ve upset too many people and your game is dying.  
Make thing right and rebuff the AA and put all the other things in place that’s you’ve messed up.  
You’ve killed your game.

Well, that settles it. I mean, some guy in the U.K. had trouble finding a full operations map at 3:30 am. The only possible explanation is that the changes in the update has caused a mass exodus from the game. The game is now dead. What more proof could you need?

We’re just lucky that there was one player left in the U.K. to report back about the current status of the game.

I can’t even get Operations at 10:30pm on a weekday night in my country. Plenty of conquest servers, but no one wants to join the useless quickjoin system cos server browser = good.

last patch just crapped all over the game. So many unhappy players already.  
There are buffs needed on so many guns and melee weapons and yet they chucked down nerfs instead.  
Clap clap clap!!  
The new map is crap.. Sign of things to come!

Just go on an East Cost American server like anyone in the UK does at this time?

I always go on East Cost American because the connection is basically the same and its always populated because there’s so many people.

How can you have played BF3/BF4 and not know that European Servers are always dead at 5am…

Well the operations is made way too hard to join, just make a quickplay option to that with an option to choose X player servers.  
This might actually make me play operations again, I stopped after having 6 times in row joining into last 2min of the last battalion, or the match had like 5 players.

Who’s talking about buffing the AA?  
I’m talking about waiting in a lobby on my own for 10 minutes without anyone joining.

You can use the filter tool. I don’t really play operations though because its pretty meh. I stick with Conquest so whether it 100% works for operations i wouldn’t know for sure. In my opinion stick to conquest anyway as its a better game mode.

I’ve been waiting over ten minutes to join an Operations game. It’s sad that DICE can’t get it right. Actually 15 minutes now. The screen is stuck on the matching your skill check box

AA is too easy too use but also too weak in Operation  
the ROF is too fast and traverse is too fast, just spray and pray  
yet the dmg is too low

back to the topic  
yes OP, i found Operation mode in EU region are getting less and less people  
it use to be very full even around 2200, 2300 GMT  
after the patch i always found half empty server  
but i dont think the patch have much to this issue, yes Air/Land balance was more broken in Operation  
it was very broken even before the patch, but i think the key is, the patch bring nothing new to Operation  
remove of B Bunker in Monte Grappa is a right move, but now Monte Grappa become too easy with only 1 objective in Monte Grappa with Zeppelin in last sector  
Oil Empire last map is purely Sniper fest  
Argonne Forest is grenade spam  
only fun map is saint quentin scar, but it get bored very soon playing the same map month and month  
Giant Shadow give support a crappy crossbow, and i dont see any new map in Operation  
feel lacking content for a great mode
