How come on my server list I'm lucky to get more than 60 servers available?
I'm on patch 1.41, but the amount of people playing seems to have dropped off....or am I missing something here?

It's true. Seems like people just went to play Battlefield 2142. I'de rather play starwars with branches in my back yard before I play 2142.

I really tried BF2142 so damn slow and dumbed down... Super fun jumping silo's right?


Anyways I have tons of BF2 servers on my list... I always have more bf2 servers then 2142 servers... weird.

Theres something wrong, everytime i update i get like at least 2000 and thats stopping it..either your filters, or uve got something taking up all your bandwidth, i remember back when i had a roomate and we shared internet, if he was downloading or playing a multiplayer game i would get around the same for servers.

Indeed, there has been about a 30% drop of BF2 participation since BF2142 was launched.  And, only 75% of the servers have upgraded to 1.41 at this point ... so, in the last few weeks, a 1.41 client would have seen a 50% drop in the number of servers.

Still, you should have several hundred servers on your list with reasonable filters.

wots reasonable filters?
I've got "Punkbuster", "same version", all map sizes and "Ranked" ticked. Thats it.
Should I untick any of these?

At this moment, I'm getting 650 servers with the following checked:

  • Ranked
  • No Password
  • Same Version
  • Populated
  • Same Mod
  • Punkbuster
  • All 3 map sizes


And, that's about 60-70% of what I was seeing a few weeks ago (due to reduction of servers & 1.41)

Without the populated ticked but everything else, I get around 2600 servers.

I still get over 2k, so I think the problem's with you, not a lack of servers
