Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed

That limitation, and the inability to sidestep DICE by renting a server that never shuts down, made it difficult for communities to take shape in Portal.

The ideas are bound together. Same with anti cheat. Same with preservation. Removing private servers caused all of these problems at the same time. The author of the article speaks for the group who want the community that I admitted never mattered to me, that Portal doesn’t provide, but other knock-on effects of the death of the server browser do matter to me.

There is a server browser. Tgere are n9 private servers. I would like private servers too but there is still a server browser regardless.

You are conflating two different things.

  They have explained what they are complaining about several times now, so get off your pedantic horse and either join the conversation that is happening or fuck off.

    90% of the people in the conversation think there will be only matchmaking and nothing else because of how OP framed it.
    
    You want to talk about how you can’t have your own private server completely disconnected for EA, fine. But that doesn’t mean the game has no browser, jfc.

    No, you seem to be the only one confused here. They said a REAL browser, not just a list of servers.
    
    “… we should be able to do what we want with it, including running those max player/max ticket servers that run 24/7 on one map. We should be able to do it without DICE/EA’s permission, …”
    
    Does that sound like OP was whining about simply not having a list of servers? Improve your reading comprehension before you whine about how something was stated.

  Hence the article expressing the desire for a real server browser, as it seems like a lot of people aren’t served by the replacement they whipped up.
