Does this game not feature noob friendly servers?

BF4 had it so you played with people in your rank up to like rank 10 or something, I'm bloody rank 4 and i am getting put against people in ranks 200 and what the f-u-c-k S means.

It's impossible to do anything without getting killed the millisecond i spawn to some gfuel kid high on adderall :(

i know it's sad it makes hard-work. Bad Company 2 is where I started playing BF games, I was in the same boat, I've not played 4, but after enough learning it's easier to adapt to different BF games, learning the maps is harder though

BF has always been about knowing the maps. The play is fairly consistent.

Sometimes it just comes down to luck, sometimes the game will respawn you right in front of like 3 enemies and your just kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Other times it will spawn a baddy right behind you and yup your ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

The game has odd spawn in mechanics.

S rank is every +1 level BEYOND the standard ranks in the level system.

Why on EARTH am i being grouped with those fellas, That's like putting me up against F1 world Champion Sebastian Vettel in an F1 car while i'm in a Renault Twingo running on 2 cylinders

Yeah i get that more play = more learnings, But it's hard to learn with the game when i'm spending most of the game having 20+ death and 3 kills.

Honestly it's not the spawning that is the issue, It's the fact that i am getting paired up against people that apparently is above the standard leveling system while i am here bing chilling with 4 hours of game time and at rank 4.

Inevitable when the playerpool is this small.

Honestly there wouldn't be enough players to allow the scaling with level ranks. I doubt there are over 20,000 players across the globe, all platforms included so if the level scaling was working you'd end up playing against bots most of the time.

In BF4 the scaling didn't really work either. I started playing maybe an year or two after bf1 was released so there weren't too many players left and pretty much everyone were max. level so I had to play with them. The game didn't even try to place me into matches with only my level players, I'd argue it was because there were max. 10 like me at the time.

Spawn far from objective, use cover = easy mode.
If you want people around you dumb then play against bots.

On average, Battlefield 2042 has about 79,287 peak concurrent active players each day. This number can increase during weekends or when new updates or events are released.

You proved me wrong. But the game hasn't made it into the Steam's 100 most played games list for a long time so I thought it's not doing very good. You should of mentioned it's an estimation and it consists only the Steam players, though, to make it clearer. Not arguing about it.

Also those about 80,000 "daily" Steam players (as EA hasn't made the complete numbers public since Spring 2022) are divided into the different regions, so the next question is:
Do the regional player counts get 20,000 daily players? All things considered I think the answer should be 'yes', but can't really know because it's not public knowledge.
**Edit. Obviously depending of the regions. Some regions have pretty much no players at all

Because DICE as we knew and loved them has long since been dead. Nearly all the OG talent there has left the company since BF5. And because one of the Lead Devs on 2042 is not only ex-COD, but 2042 was originally going to be a battleroyal title that they changed at the last second. The glory-days of BF2/3/4 /BC2 are long gone.

No, this number is including both steam and EA/Origin. You were the one mentioned 20k only on steam. So, I know what I meant to say. Now if you include other things like consoles, it will be even more.

It's really bad to base a games popularity only based on steam charts. Really not a good idea to be honest especially with Battlefield games as they are new to steam.

As for regions, I've played EU and US and never fail to find a full 64 game at anytime of the day in both regions.

Agreed. This is a huge part of it.
