The problem for me is with the size of the player base though. Without a large enough community, it’s hard for a complete noob (which I am—as a kid I only ever played BFME2 against AI, almost exclusively siege maps, and at low difficulties) to enter and find a game at roughly their level. A remaster with a matchmaking queue is exactly what I needed to get into competitive Age of Empires/Mythology (where I’m a little better as I at least understand the basics of how to build an economy/what decent build orders are) and I would probably need something like that to get back into BFME for anything other than play with friends.
It’s unofficial but this is what everyone uses to play: http://bfmeladder.com/
Oh wow that’s cool, I had no idea that existed.
