Your copy of Battlefield 2042 is installed, mein Führer.

We've also updated you to the latest game ready drivers.

All Out Warfare has your favorite modes: Conquest and Breakthrough

You can play these modes on seven brand new maps.

I can't wait to play with my 5 friends. We'll join a server and play through all the maps.

Mein Führer, there is --

There is no server browser. They replaced it with matchmaking.

You can't play with more than 3 friends.

Everyone who isn't a Battlefield veteran, please leave the room.

The server browser is a fundemental aspect of the Battlefield franchise.

Without being able to join and stay in a server, you can't play all of your friends.

And the maps...

Without an actual server, you can't even choose which maps you'll play.

It can keep matching you to Orbital over and over, even though your completely sick of that map after the Beta.

Mein Führer, but they added Portal, which is a love letter to fans.

You can't even play Breakthrough in Portal!

Mein Führer, this is only the early access version...

With disbanding lobbies, we're no better than Call of Duty.

Call of Duty!

This is supposed to be a team-based game, but if you have more than 3 friends, you either have to take turns or play in different servers.

And if you play solo and actually find good squad, they'll be gone when the map ends.

If you find a fun, balanced game, you can't even play with those same people again...

...because the lobby will just disband.

Without a server, you can't alternate between attack and defense in Breakthrough.

After Battlefield V, I just wanted to get the gang back together and have fun like the good old days.

I promised myself I wouldn't get my hopes up this time. I told myself not to pre-order. But here we are with an unfinished and fundementally broken game where I can't even play with my friends.

And don't even get me started on how disbanding lobbies probably means SBMM. If you have a good game, it was probably because the algorithm decided you'd be more likely to buy cosmetics if you got a win.

Maybe DICE is too incompetent to build SBMM.

Maybe I'll just have to forget about playing with friends. At least I can still go medic and try to get to the top of the scoreboard with zero kills.

At least I still have that.

First the destruction of Battlefield's class system, and now no server browser with disbanding lobbies...

Is Halo out yet?
