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?

For the most part, it's a feature that is just another unused button for everyone else. [quote] I liked server browser in BF games, could favourite servers that played fairly smooth.

[i][b]NO COMPANY IS EVER GOING TO DO THAT AND STAY IN THE INDUSTRY AFTER THAT. [/b][/i]I swear no one understands that no company is ever just going to shut down the servers with no reasoning or forewarning. Every time it happens, the player base gets a notice about it in someway. [quote] Skill based matchmaking should never be in an online FPS game, it separates the player base.

While connection is nice, skill matchmaking done right never sets the pool to such a small number that latency increases to unplayable numbers. Also, you want the player base segregated. You don't want this godlike player over here continuously pounding on mediocre players when for a few extra pings he'd be evenly matched. Good players get the short end of the stick because it's not fun to never be challenged in a game.

Also, every single game ever created has cut content. You cannot show me a single game that doesn't. It doesn't exist. There's always something that bugs out, doesn't fit right, or just isn't technologically possible when the game is made. People need to quite getting upset over cut content, and get more upset that publishers won't increase the average development cycle. Most games still get the 2.5 years at most to make games nowadays. That's just not enough time considering the demands of the audience.
