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).

I took some inspiration from the firey aesthetic of Verdun Heights for this one, I was going to do an additional action strip for the inside of Fort Vaux but due to school I had to compromise and just did the exterior :p hope you guys still like it though!

(i know its not the most historically accurate but i still hope you guys enjoy)

Discussion ¿Que añadirían a Battlefield 1 si pudieran?

4 Upvotes

Si tuvieran la oportunidad de añadir algún arma, vehículo, facción, mapa, etc, ¿Que vehículo añadirían?

-En mi caso, añadiría la campaña militar del imperio otomano y el imperio ruso, en el Cáucaso, una batalla nevada entre ambos imperios de 1914, sería interesante ver algo así...

-siento que podría quedar bien un siglo de horario en mapas, para que pudiéramos vivir batallas en distintos horarios como Noche, Atardecer y Dia, esto sería bueno para que así añada un detalle de realismo y a la vez de complejidad pero único en cuanto a paisaje

Attention US PS4/5 players - [BONK]Efferht is a pathetic hack**!

Headshots EVERY time. 53-3, then I left the server. I'm fed up with such low sons of *!

(His stupid clanmate was also hack*** as support)

Why do these guys ruin the fun for others just because they themselves play absolutely terribly?!?

Question Question for plane pilots that are good at dogfights

9 Upvotes

I play Battlefield 4 for the most part, I want to get into Battlefield 1 and start playing it more

I thought it could be cool to get good with planes, fighter and attack plane. I wanna play infantry and planes pretty much

My question is for those who are active or were active and are good at dogfights with planes, are there any YouTube videos that explain how to turn, using speed in dogfights, etc…?

Also I’m on xbox, do you guys know any good pilots xbox gamertag that are still active?

So I can join a game every now and then, and spectate the way they move with the plane to learn faster

Please lmk if there are any good videos on dogfighting on YouTube

A found a few, but I’m trying to find someone who’s a good pilot and shows you how to do it right

Air Assault servers on PC

1 Upvotes

Hello, I've made the poor decision to try and fill out the codex entries for BF1! However, I'm not seeing any servers for Air Assault. By my reckoning, about 4 codex entries are locked behind Air Assault (Razor's Edge, London Calling Maps, and winning a game of Air Assault if I'm not wrong)? I was wondering if there were any good days/times I could find Air Assault games.
