Imagine the bitching though if you couldn't pimp a bajillion guns.Which is why it's perfect
Imagine the bitching though.
WW1?
So just play on DICE servers and ignore the custom ones. Custom SoS maps are a godsend for me.
Eerrrr
I think you mean custom servers, and I would agree with you. Server browser is a must.
LOLLLL
So true though. It's not going to be boring weapon WW1 for Battlefield 5. The though alone makes me laugh, and people thinking this is going to happen really don't play Battlefield. It wouldn't work, bolt action only, reloading after every shot? No!
Gemüsepizza;202193841 said:No, not really. Server browser and custom servers are massively overrated, and are harmful to the playing experience of the majority of gamers. It leads to:

- Not having a consistent multiplayer experience because every game and server has different rules.
This simply ruins the fun of playing BF. Unfortunately there seems to be a very vocal minority of gamers who claims this needs to be put in every game. More often than not those people are part of the cringeworthy "PC master race" group of PC gamers, and just repeat stuff like this over and over without thinking it through.
First time i have seen anyone bemoan optional choice for server set up. I am pretty sure people, and especially pc gamers, view that as necessary basically for server-based multi.Gemüsepizza;202193115 said:I just hope the multiplayer "matchmaking" will be more similar to Battlefront than to Battlefield 4.

Ugh this again...
The Rumor and various teases were about Alternate History WW1.
What the hell?

Sorry, but you're wrong. Eliminating player choice is never good for players or the community. Know how to solve literally all of the problems you mentioned? Admin your own server and set it up however you want. I don't want the game telling me how I should play it just because people like you can't take a few minutes to search for an acceptable server.
Gemüsepizza;202194317 said:How do I know that a specific server is "acceptable"? And are you seriously suggesting that I should rent my own server just so I can have a normal playing experience? Also, right now, there is no choice. The only real option you have is to play on a custom server of a shitty clan with stupid rules.
Guys, this is not really a controversial opinion. Even guys like LevelCap have been criticising BF4 for stuff like this for a long time.

1. There are custom servers on the consoles so it's not just a PC thing.Gemüsepizza;202193841 said:DICE servers are usually empty. Matchmaking does not work, if I click "Play now" in BF4, I will be put on an empty server 99% of the time.

read my edit.
Nevermind read the time wrong. 10am CST. Thats 6pm CEST.
8 hours to go
we are what ? 3 years in? i dont have a problem finding official servers at all.
I just need to hear that new theme.
Me too, the one from Battlefield 3 is an utter tripe, I presume the one from 4 isn't much better. Time to go back to the good old days of musical instruments.

4 didn't really have the theme at all from what I remember.

Well considering how the one from the 3rd game sounds I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't recognize it in the 4th one (it's probably some static in the background). Funny that 2142 is in future and despite that has an instrumental theme that is actually my favourite. I don't have a problem with electronic music in general but the theme of the 3rd game is just terrible.
BRRRRBBZZZZ BBRRRRRMMMMBBBZZZZ BRRRBBBZZZZZ
I remember saying the same thing on reddit when 3 came out and I was downvoted into oblivion. I really loved the theme in 1943; it's probably the strongest version. I hope they haven't forgotten about it.

Full on matchmaking is harmful to the player experience in my view.
I would love it too, tired of the futuristic bullshit.
BRRRRBBZZZZ BBRRRRRMMMMBBBZZZZ BRRRBBBZZZZZ
Matchmaking on its own is without doubt one of the worst things to happen to online gaming. Especially when you have no control over any of it. Just thinking about Halos matchmaking makes me want rage..
I would kill for Bad Company 3..
BRRRRBBZZZZ BBRRRRRMMMMBBBZZZZ BRRRBBBZZZZZ
Battlefield 4 was not set in the Middle East...Absolutely tired of modernday shooter in some middleeastern setting, this would be quite refreshing with next gen visuals.
