In the online shooter Star Wars Battlefront , a tweet has caused a stir. Again, a feature is missing that players thought would definitely be included.
There are many people lurking around Star Wars Battlefront wondering: “Where’s the catch?” And time and again, they find these catches and respond with: “Aha! I knew it! They are pulling a fast one on us!”
At the beginning, it was already the case with “There are no space battles,” later it continued with “There is no story campaign!” and the latest is now: There is no server browser, but “only” skill-based matchmaking.
This tweet caused excitement.
@BSanbizzle Star Wars Battlefront will not offer a server browser, but will utilize a new skill based matchmaking system.

Later it was confirmed that even the PC will get by without a server browser.
Much more is still not clear at the moment. Details will be clarified later.
But some players are currently in an uproar about this, considering the choice of server a crucial criterion for a first-person shooter, as they can and want to choose game modes, teammates, and maps. Moreover, it has been proven to work in the Battlefield games, so why change anything here?
We will probably have to wait for the beta to learn more about how the skill matchmaking system works and how it will affect the gameplay without a server browser.
