"Regarding the recently announced Star Wars Battlefront Beta, our servers will use a skill-based matchmaking system to pair players together. Players just need to fire up the beta and select what game mode they want to play.”

Original story is as follows.

"Regarding the recently announced Star Wars Battlefront Beta, our servers will use a skill-based matchmaking system to pair players together. Players just need to fire up the beta and select what game mode they want to play.”

Developer DICE confirmed the news via EA's community manager, Sledgehammer70, on the game's Subreddit page, stating that while a server browser will not be available it will use a "new skill-based matchmaking system" to match online players. This moves away from server set-ups in games like Battlefield 4, where players can select from a variety of servers providing different maps, modes, player numbers, and the ability to find active games with their friends.

"I want to have specific, favourite servers with communities I know etc.," said one fan on the Subreddit page. "I want to have servers with one map only. Matchmaking won't offer me that."

We've reached out to EA for comment and will update just as soon as we know more.

That's what I'm seeing as well. To me each time there's new news's about the game it keeps shooting itself in the foot. It's as if DICE or EA doesn't want Battlefront to over shadow Battlefield so they do stupid shit to make sure it doesn't. Which would be by downgrading the game to have a max of 40 players even on the PC and by not having a server browsers.

Sounds like they're just testing it for the beta.

Hooboy, they are really gonna have to up my pay to get me to shill for this game.

Gatortag · September 10, 2015, 09:18:45 AM

Still buying, depending on reviews. No server browser is disappointing. As long as it's not P2P though. Space Battles don't care. Watched footage of them in the older game and it looked awful. So did single player. This looks like a good game to me. As long as it works, and has enough maps and modes.

I'm not necessarily buying it because a critic gives it a good score. Player reviews are more important to me.

Destiny is one of the most well received games of last year.

Reviews mean nothing.

You're joking right? Destiny has a 76 Metacritic score. That's pretty low. Meaning, most reviews were average. Yes, some high score, some low scores, but most are average. Not to mention, it's all subjective. Say for example Destiny was a great game, loaded with content, tons of stuff, got amazing reviews and GOTY awards everywhere. If someone doesn't like FPS games, they wouldn't like it. Or if it's full of RPG elements. You can actually see this in reviews for games. Such as "I like it, but there's too much story" Witcher 3 There goes 1 point. It's all subjective. And there's several people I trust in, for reviews. Not a major reviewer like IGN. IGN gave Destiny like a 6, or was it GameSpot? Either way, I can use the majority of reviews to gauge the game.

COD isn't actually a shit game. I don't like it, but some of the reviews for those are fairly accurate. If Black Ops 3 was my first COD ever I'd probably love it. You just can't say reviews mean nothing. As I said, it's each persons opinion. There's a group of people at IGN, who love Destiny and play it lots. And one one of the videos they were talking about it, and other people there hated or, or at least didn't care for it. Just because someone at IGN gives a game a 10, doesn't mean everyone thinks it deserves that. If someone finds something fun, then what can you say? Are you going to make fun of them for playing a game they like?

Just what I think. Kinda tired, sorry if that's kinda repetitive.

That's the point.

Destiny got shit reviews Activision had to look for small not known reviewers to promote destiny.

Gatortag · September 10, 2015, 11:04:47 AM

That's what I was trying to say. Destiny has average reviews across the board. With a few high ones. Far from the best received game last year. Though I really can't think of many that scored really high. AAA games that is. Besides DAI.

No snipers? So what, it's just Blaster rifles, pistols, and launchers?

Tiny tiny bit. I know, I know... No space battles. Sucks, but I'll get over it. Went looking at some footage earlier too. Honestly, space battles, and the "campaign" looked pretty bad.

BaconShelf · September 10, 2015, 05:52:40 PM

Have fun shilling out for a game when you can get one with more features and is objectively better for less.

Yeah and it sucked compared to Battlefront 1.

The new battlefront looks fun and that's the most important thing.
