As per the article, persistence, and a way to bypass DICE.
Speaking for myself, I miss multiplayer games before they had XP and progression.

They have a browser where you can run your own games. If you use official rules, you get full xp. I don’t get what people are complaining about.
You can earn full XP in Portal matches as long as the house rules closely resemble the vanilla ones

They are persistent, they stay open as long as someone is in it. No one is kicked after the game.
Bypass dice isn’t a feature but a fantasy, never happening. I don’t really get what it would bring to the table either.

The ability to keep the video game. The ability to play it on a LAN. It’s not a fantasy; it’s history. We used to have this.

That’s more then a server browser. You are just being deceptive. You cherry picked the one quote in the article that makes it look like there is nothing.
What you are talking about is a whole other debate entirely and simply not how the industry runs anymore when it comes to multiplayer shooters.
I want that stuff too but that’s not what server browser means. The finals and cod don’t have server browsers. Bf6 will have a server browser.

Yep. This is the correct answer but that’s not what this thread is about; it’s a nostalgic circle jerk mixed with a sprinkling of “back in my day”.
Don’t get me wrong here, I like the suggestions in this thread but literally one of the suggestions being upvoted is how the game is planned to handle servers (quick join is random and then there will be a list of community servers).
I’m fine with the official servers being random join, as long as I can pick and choose a community server. Which to state again, is apparently planned.
I’m still waiting for reviews on release to make sure they hold true to their marketing though. Can’t trust shit from large studios.
