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?

There is no doubt in my mind that Battlefront will make millions of dollars off of preorders alone, be populated for a month or two, and then be abandoned by 90% of the people that buy it. Three years later, EA will shut down the servers and the game will effectively cease to exist. And you know what? It makes me happy. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between people who are unlucky and people who are simply stupid, but EA has gotten really good at giving me a good litmus test to judge people by, making it easier for me to avoid the sorts of human waste that keep buying this crap.
