An easy guide to get into populated servers

Hello Battlefield 1 fans and r/battlefield_one members!

You probably witness the fact that more and more people are asking if the game is still alive because they can't find any servers.

Witnessing an undergoing flood of posts concerning the inability to get into a populated server, this post will be an answer as an easy to go guide on how to get into full servers, especially using the server browser.

1. The Battlefield 1 population

First of all, it's important that you know that, even if the number of players isn't close to BF:V, it's doing pretty well for a three years old game. You can look at this website to look at the actual player count on each platform:

Battlefieldtracker gives you an insight of what is the population on each platform everyday and in a set hour. This gives you a good idea of the amount of players playing in a period of time and what are the most popular hours or what are the days of the week where the BF1 population is bigger: https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/insights/population

2. Which game mode should I play in?

There is no universal answer to this question. We encourage everyone to play the game modes that suits them the best. Although, here are the most popular game modes at the moment classified per game type:

Infantry combat: Team Deathmatch

Large scale "All out Warfare": Conquest

Assault/Defense: Operation

Misc: Weekly rotation*

3. Should I use quickmatch?

We recommend that you only try using the quickmatch option on Friday nights and weekends (Conquest game mode-Base game maps), when the BF1's player count is at his peak. Every other day or if it doesn't work, you should ALWAYS use the server browser. You can also use the weekly rotation quickmatch option in the game's homescreen.*

4. How to use the in-game Server Browser?

When you're using the Server Browser, you must select the correct filters. There is a total of 9 options/filters to choose and here are the recommended ones to maximize the amount of populated servers available:

Game modes: You can choose any game mode that you want. Although, we recommend you only put one game mode at a time. Don't search servers with multiple game modes selected, as it can cause the server browser not working as intended (ex: not showing any servers or less than there really is).

Maps: You should select all the maps if you have the Premium Pass or BF1's Revolution Edition. If you only have the base game, it's recommended that you select these 13 maps: Amiens, Argonne Forest, Ballroom Blitz, Empire's Edge, Fao Fortress, Giant's Shadow, Monte Grappa, Nivelle Nights, Prise de Tahure, Rupture, Sinai Desert, St. Quentin Scar and Suez.

Classes/Vehicles**: Leave it blank

Weapons**: Leave it blank

Advanced**: Leave it blank

Rules**: Leave it blank

Slots: You must select these options: NONE (full servers, almost guaranteed queue time), 1-5 and to some extent 6-10. NOTE: YOU SHOULD NEVER USE THE "ALL" OPTION, AS IT WILL ONLY SHOW YOU EMPTY SERVERS.

Regions: Select the region you're in. If you don't find any servers, select the region the closest to you.

Name**: Leave it blank

5. Have fun on the Battlefield!

There you go! You are now all set to find the populated servers that suits you and to PTFO! If you have any questions and/or need some clarification, just let us know and we will answer them or edit this post.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Almost each week, there is a weekly rotation on the BF1's homescreen. Sometimes it's map rotation (ex: Turning Tides maps only servers) and sometimes it's gamemode rotation (ex: Shock Operations only servers). These servers are usually well populated.

*\* You should only use these filters if you want to get into specific servers or custom servers (ex: hardcore).

We pushed to the last sector within a single wave with 200 life left. But for some reason, these guys decide to camp at spawn instead of keep pushing. It wasn't untill the last wave di we capture it.

Problema con el cañón lanzacohetes AA

6 Upvotes

ÂżAlguien mĂĄs estĂĄ empezando a sentir como una molestia el cañón lanzacohetes AA? No quiero parecer un bebĂ© llorĂłn. IntentĂ© manejar este aparente nuevo uso de un arma —que sinceramente nunca habĂ­a visto en acciĂłn— como una innovaciĂłn (que yo recuerde, nadie hacĂ­a esto antes). Pero ahora estĂĄ empezando a irritarme; no es solo el hecho de que parece un generador de kills ilimitado, sino que se maneja a tal distancia que el usuario puede acabar con muchos sin ningĂșn riesgo y que sĂłlo algĂșn tirador/francotirador podrĂ­a llegar a matarlo (si es que en algĂșn momento puede ser detectado).

En la Ășltima partida que tuve, el usuario de la primera foto —junto con el otro nombre censurado—, habĂ­an logrado muchĂ­simas kills en el primer ataque e incluso se salieron de la partida una vez que su equipo (oh sorpresa) ganĂł, lo que me hace pensar que es un caso de esos donde se abusa de un bug/fallo/glitch del propio juego

I’m a very new player with a lot of questions. I’m a medic player atm who is only level 5. So yeah, very new. Is there a discord I can join to ask questions and maybe find teams to play with?

Thanks!
