Exactly right rock. If there is no server browser, ie no dedicated admin ran servers, I will not get this game. I usually preorder every BF game title and after SWBF I will wait.
Same. This is the reason why I haven’t purchased a CoD game since WAW.
I am also going to wait until the matchmaking system is known. Until then my wallet will not see the light of day.
Please - PLEASE don’t use Matchmaking. It’s done no good for Battlefront and it will really take the shine off Battlefield 1 if you go ahead with it.
We don’t want starwars matchmaking ok DICE/EA I wanna choose what sever I want like on battlelog
Yes its available guys, Star Wars is much much different than Battlefield, so don’t worry Server Browser is available.
I believe matchmaking was only present in SWBF due to the casual nature/target audience of the game. I would be very surprised if BF1 didn’t include a server browser or some kind.
Hopefully there will be information on this soon.
They tried something different with Battlefront. They said that from the beginning. Going from that to thinking that BF1 will be just like Battlefront is quite a stretch. In fact, the improved graphics engine and the Atmos sound support are probably some of the only things I would expect actually to carry over that you will notice.
In any case, it’s not like it’s something they can hide for very long so we will know the specifics soon enough.
I don’t think that not having a server browser was the reason Battlefront flopped.
It was the gameplay and the lack of features and ugh. Where to start really?
I actually thought that matchmaking was a good idea.
I’d prefer to play with people around my own skill (which is not very good).
Then I have a chance and I win and lose some.
But with clan managed servers you can be sure that there’s at least 1 group of people who coordinate themselves via voice chat and spend a lot of time playing the game.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against server browser.
I’m saying that matchmaking wasn’t why BFront failed.
It should have both, dedicated “EA owned” matchmaking servers
and clan owned, so everyone can be happy.
Being kicked because the admin is losing is something that’s laughable.
I was on a server like this. I’m not a very good shooter player (large monitor = higher reaction times)
but we were winning. The admin was on the other team. All of a sudden our squad dies.
Admin killed us. lol. He couldn’t take to lose.
We called him a 12 year old girl and he kicked us.
But that’s the exception to the rule.
Usually you get stacked teams where one side dominates and the other plays the victim role.
A true matchmaking algo would more or less improve game play, since you’re fighting about equal skill opponents. However I also like having my fav servers to connect to.
I really hope they return to INGAME server browsers. Im sick of using a browser to scroll through servers and launch the game, than exit the game to find new servers etc.
PS4 player here. I too hate not having a browser, as it makes it hard to find good games and maps, like in Battlefront for example. Matchmaking works in games built around a match making system i.e War Thunder or Rainbow 6 siege, but sucks in games like Battlefront (the original 2 games had a server browser on console and PC, so W-T-F EA/DICE).
I sincerely hope that DICE doesn’t start using a -py match maker, as this type of game doesn’t work well with such a feature.
I have faith that the devs won’t eff this up though.
if they go the SWBF route im gona refound the game.
the comunities live/get together on renting and having servers to provide to the players out there so they can choose for them self.
and a server cost a good deal of monney to rent per year so they give other ppl a chance to play for free on their server, some have donation options some dont.
and if you dont like one server there is always another server to join, cant stand loosing go from the server your on and join another one, PTFO and not camp snipe witch i see on the majority of servers, ppl camp rooftops or between flags whit out capping them.
and if you goin a server you HAVE to obey server rules since the admins are the ones who orn and run it, its their rules and they set them so the playing on the server would be good, do you want to join a server whit 10ppl on and one side owns you whit tank ? you spawn and get blasted away over and over again? whit out having the chance to get out of spawn? i would not.
there is loads of servers out there ( for current games ) and if you join one and you dont like it there or the rules you always have the option to join another one and thest that and so on.
BF4 has a server browser right?
All BF games have had a server browser right?
While it isn’t confirmed, this shouldn’t even need to be a discussion
The fact that so many people are reading and posting on the thread would suggest otherwise. It may be an indication that people will be a little more circumspect about buying games and how they spend their money in the future. ‘I’m the management and I’m here to tell you’ type statements isn’t going to make me change my mind in waiting until it is confirmed that a server browser system will be in-game. Until then, no pre order. Basic fact without my or other peoples money games companies don’t exist.
Why are you playing Battlefield if you don’t like MP?
This is the only thing that has stopped me from pre-ordering the game. The game will be dead before it even takes off. There is millions of gamers who would love to play it on PC and experience the game being designed for PC, and for it not to be a console port. That is a lot of money right there, EA games.
I’m still playing Battlefield 4 every day and really enjoyed the hardline single player. Please don’t ruin this game with no server browser.
So ThePoolshark is this a subtle way of getting around the NDA lol.
Like your style !
So the general consensus is that if any game DICE has developed; any other franchise game they do will either be a reskin, or have the same server setup?
So Mirror’s Edge is gonna be like Hardline meets Battlefront with parkour ninjutsu stuff in a futuristic alternate earth.
Awesome logic.
Ok, finally this was confirmed a few minutes ago.
Server browser is confirmed
will it be implemented with battlelog system? or seperate like battlefront ? I hope no more battlelog for playing the game!
There is nothing wrong with battlelog, just thank the powers that be…that we are getting a server
browser Wahoo!
