Suggestion for new update: Match Making

Instead of automatically assigning maps based on Battle rating, I think you guys should have a lobby system. Everyone with or around the same battle rating after they queued for a match should then be placed in a pre game lobby after they have queued for a match… WIthin that lobby, players will then have the ability to vote on what campaign and map they would like to play. Every player will have 3 votes for which maps they would like to play and 1 skip vote for a map they would not like to play. Whatever map has the most player votes and the least amount of skip votes, that map will be selected. This will accomplish two things, one players will get to actually chose which maps to play and two it will fix players joining games late.

Also, if that is impossible for the devs to make, you could also come up with a simple system like Modern Warfare (2009) used to have. Within the pre game lobby, a random map will be selected and everyone will have a skip vote, if the majority picks skip that map will be skipped and another random map will be chosen. Player can also skip the second random map. THe third map being final and no one can skip even if they do not like that map. If anyone could think of something to add to this please reply your thoughts!

I think that flushing out and tweaking the original idea would be leagues above and beyond better than a hardlock BR system

In the previous idea, guns had maps they could show up on, maps they favored, and maps they would not show up on. In the BR system, equipment is hard tied to X=X=X and Y=Y=Y

X equipment will ONLY fight X equipment on X maps. End of story. No variety. No unpredictability. Nothing but bland, boring gameplay match after match after match

I love the current randomness of the game as it is right now. Will I fight Kar98k’s? Puma’s? Tiger’s? FG 42’s? MG42’s? MP40’s? StG’s? Pz III’s? All of these in the same match? I don’t know! Gotta load in and see how the match goes to find out!

A system of preferred and possible maps tied to each equipment meant that while early unlocks were most likely to be in early maps, it could be entirely possible to show up in later maps as well, as long as it wasn’t an undesired map. Bolt actions could still show up in Normandy. Thompson’s could still show up in Tunisia. So forth and so on

With new BR system? If I want to use my preferred set up, I will ONLY face Tiger’s, MG42’s, StG’s, and FG 42’s. That’s it. End of story. No variety. No “let’s see how this goes.” Only the same exact match over and over and over again. The only way to change that, is to change MY set up from X, meaning I fought X, to go to Y so I will only fight Y.

Yeah…kinda kills a good bit of the fun? Whoo yay time to go fight more gray zone Tiger’s
Or nothing but little to no challenge bumrushing Puma’s
No sort of in between unless I want to use whatever BR 3 ends up being. Probably M1918A1, PIAT, early/mid tier Thompson (likely without compensator), P-38/M4A3, and M1 Carbine if I had to randomly throw crap out there. Instead of my current mix of M1919A6, M9, M1903, M1 Garand, M2 Carbine, and M1 w/nade launcher, a variety of different GO and Event SMG’s, and P-47 for them filthy gray zone tanks. The M1919A6 and P-47 alone shoving me into only BR 5 matches and being bored from the same exact match with the same exact outcome every time. Not to mention being geolocked into Normandy even if I wanted to play a different map with certain guns that end up BR 4+

I think the original idea had potential, it’s just no one understood it and it definitely had some refining that needed to happen before it was ready. I’d take that in a heartbeat over the forsaken WT system of doing things
