I just don’t like that community-run dedicated servers have been almost completely replaced now as the primary multiplayer scene by the toxic cesspool of automated matchmaking.
I miss that part of online games. You’d have a favorite server you’d log onto and see the same people everyday. You also got better quicker when playing in larger teams because they would get scrambled every few rounds. You could see what good players were doing without getting dumpstered.
This is half of why I still play Battlefield 1 (the other half being it’s a fucking great game)
The community server I play on is great. Three of the most annoying tools have been banned (the Ilya Muromets, the SMG 08, and support mortars) with some decent moderation in place to keep those rules in line and mostly deal with toxicity. It exists but I’ve seen less racial slurs and ethnonationalism in it than the randomly assigned Operations servers, and gameplay wise it’s fucking refreshing to not die to an untouchable heavy bomber every ten seconds
I used to play BF1942 on the Berlin and Stalingrad no vehicles or grenades servers back in the day. Then EA said “No more modded servers” and that was that 😞
Luckily the first Call of Duty Day of Defeat: Source came out soon after.

Which servers do you frequent? Also, +1 to battlefield 1 community servers being great. I service rifle servers
SaltyNoobs almost exclusively, decent vibes and no Ilya spam
Any good service rifle servers? Love that mode
I think grumpy old men runs a service rifle night every now and then. I need to find a regular service rifle server though.
yeah, I’m in agreement there
They were nice but when you just wanted to play and they were full, well it isn’t so nice.
