Tides of War is over, so I thought time to check out Community games.

After all, it's friday. It's evening. Battlefield has thousand of players online.

So I hoped online. "Hm. How do I actually search for community games?" was my first thought and .. it was quiete hard to find out that there is a toggle button at the bottom of the search list...

"FOUND!... Well, here we go" was my thought. Enthusiastic I pressed that magic button showing me all those fancy custom servers.

And my chin dropped. I saw whoopin... 6 Servers. All nearly empty with 1-2 players at max.

Is that a joke? Do people not know how to use the function? Or is this all big part of a set-up which they can justify to never add custom games again?

C'mon I wana play Arras 24/7. Or wake. .. DICE!
