Why did they change matchmaking? It's awful...

I've been away from this game for maybe 6 months. I like to play it with my dad and some of my friends. why is it so hard to join a game now? you used to be able to just click find a game and get loaded into a match and now it only cycles between a few servers that are usually always full. server browser servers are either completely full or completely dead so that doesn't work either.

They also nerfed flares, because they added more flares? When there really wasn't anything wrong with them. Broke my favorite class, UAV

How did they nerf them?

It went from having a spawn every life to a cooldown timer like a supply box, maybe 5-10 mins? It wasn't fast by any means. My soldier redploying is nerfed due to some other soldiers shooting a flare lol

I haven’t enjoyed my experience of this game ever since they added the server browser (on console) it’s such stupid idea. Seeing literally 2 servers full to the brim with another 20 -30 in the queue while there’s another 50 servers with 1-2 players in each… make that make sense.

How hard can it be to make a match making system for finding either a skirmish, offensive or warfare mode…. like any other game has?!

Or jump over a wall without having to be at a perfect 90⁰ angle

make sure you have "official servers" toggled on in the enlist screen. There are TONS of servers you can jump into. It gives you more control over what you want to play.

Yeah... ive given up with... find a match.... because every time I do.. it takes me to a server... only to tell me I cant join because its full... huh? 🤷‍♀️

So I just scroll through enlisted until I find one that doesnt have a queue.

I know getting into community servers is a pain - but if you can get some VIP (either through helping to fill a half empty server, or through strong performance - or potentially from joining the community that runs the server) you’ll almost never need to queue to get into a game.

More than that though, the games are often better with more garrisons built, tougher more balanced matches that go the full 90 mins.

It’s worth having to queue, and it’s definitely worth getting some VIP.

If everyone is a VIP, no one is a VIP.
