00:00.2 - 00:03.8 Your copy of Battlefield 2042 is installed, mein Führer. 00:03.9 - 00:07.5 We've also updated you to the latest game ready drivers. 00:08.0 - 00:11.7 All Out Warfare has your favorite modes: Conquest and Breakthrough 00:11.8 - 00:15.6 You can play these modes on seven brand new maps. 00:17.1 - 00:21.2 I can't wait to play with my 5 friends. We'll join a server and play through all the maps. 00:23.9 - 00:28.4 Mein Führer, there is -- 00:29.3 - 00:33.5 There is no server browser. They replaced it with matchmaking. 00:34.0 - 00:36.1 You can't play with more than 3 friends. 00:52.5 - 00:58.4 Everyone who isn't a Battlefield veteran, please leave the room. 01:12.7 - 01:17.9 The server browser is a fundemental aspect of the Battlefield franchise. 01:18.3 - 01:23.3 Without being able to join and stay in a server, you can't play all of your friends. 01:24.8 - 01:27.4 And the maps... 01:29.2 - 01:33.8 Without an actual server, you can't even choose which maps you'll play. 01:34.2 - 01:40.2 It can keep matching you to Orbital over and over, even though your completely sick of that map after the Beta. 01:40.3 - 01:42.6 Mein Führer, but they added Portal, which is a love letter to fans. 01:42.7 - 01:46.1 You can't even play Breakthrough in Portal! 01:46.5 - 01:48.2 Mein Führer, this is only the early access version... 01:48.8 - 01:52.7 With disbanding lobbies, we're no better than Call of Duty. 01:52.8 - 01:54.6 Call of Duty! 01:55.3 - 02:03.2 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. 02:03.9 - 02:08.2 And if you play solo and actually find good squad, they'll be gone when the map ends. 02:08.3 - 02:13.3 If you find a fun, balanced game, you can't even play with those same people again... 02:13.4 - 02:16.6 ...because the lobby will just disband. 02:17.2 - 02:21.8 Without a server, you can't alternate between attack and defense in Breakthrough. 02:26.6 - 02:36.5 After Battlefield V, I just wanted to get the gang back together and have fun like the good old days. 02:40.7 - 02:53.3 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. 02:53.6 - 03:02.5 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. 03:04.4 - 03:07.4 Maybe DICE is too incompetent to build SBMM. 03:14.1 - 03:26.1 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. 03:31.1 - 03:33.4 At least I still have that. 03:40.2 - 03:48.6 First the destruction of Battlefield's class system, and now no server browser with disbanding lobbies... 03:53.6 - 03:55.5 Is Halo out yet?
