Star Wars: Battlefront is destined to flop! No server browser?
No server browser guys, Star Wars: Battlefail will use skill based matchmaking. *facepalm*
The last game that I played with skill based matchmaking is Cod AW, could only find teamdeath match, domination game types because the player pool is small for good players.
I liked server browser in BF games, could favourite servers that played fairly smooth. No server browser means less cost for E.A. ultimately as they can take down servers at anytime, without the player base knowing.
Skill based matchmaking should never be in an online FPS game, it separates the player base. The good players get the short end of the stick with a smaller player pool and an increase in Latency. Connection priority over skill with an online game.
This news is yet another nail in the coffin for star wars battlefront after all the cut content we already know about.
E.A. supposedly have an aggressive DLC plan in the works for this game, are going to milk the star wars name. How do you feel about this guys, are you still going to buy on release day?

3 RepliesCut content and no server browsers. I'll forget the cut content for now, it likely won't matter if what is there is good enough, people will still enjoy it. Let's be honest though, server browsers are mainly popular among PC FPS gamers. A lot of console based shooters don't have them and consoles make up the bulk of the sales. I play both PC and console but I usually play shooters on my PC, even folk like me know this game is more geared to console use. Skill based matchmaking is more about ease of access, it's just plug and play. No need to bother browsing, just pick a game mode and the game searches for you. I'm not saying it's a better choice, i'd prefer a browser myself, i'm saying it's aimed at getting matches set up quick and effortlessly. Some people prefer that. As for the "aggressive DLC plan" ... it's EA, did anyone believe it would be any different? I'm not saying it's a good thing, I don't buy DLC unless it's part of an Ultimate Edition or GOTY so i'd be stuck on the base game. That said it is EA, nobody thought it would be any different.
