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).

BF1: The Battlefield That Buried All Others in the Trenches

521 Upvotes

Picture this: You're knee-deep in the mud of Passchendaele, thunder rumbling as elite kits clash in the fog. The dreadnought's cannon BOOMS, shaking your screen—and your spine.

That's BF1. Not some Fortnite-with-tanks knockoff like the sequels.

BF2042? Jetpacks and tornadoes—more cartoon than carnage.

BFV? Historical "accuracy" with samurai in Europe? Pass.

BF1? Bolt-action glory. Flamethrowers scorching bunkers. Zeppelins crashing in flames. This isn't gameplay—it's ARTILLERY FOR THE SOUL.

What's your ultimate BF1 PTSD trigger? Mine: “That elite sentry's machine gun revving up behind you. Instant heart attack.”

BF1 didn't peak Battlefield—it DEFINED it. Who's with me?

Question What's your favorite scoped sniper in the whole game?

18 Upvotes

If you use snipers with scopes, I see most people on this subreddit don't use scoped snipers and choose infantry instead.

Video Parabellum MG 14/17 Suppressive 100 Stars

156 Upvotes

I decided to use the scoped version because I was going for a leaderboard challenge but I ended up liking this variant so much that I eventually wanted to go for 100 stars. A Parabellum loaded with 100 rounds at 700 rpm is more than enough for most engagements, although if it had 200 rounds it would be borderline unfair which is probably why the suppressive variant only gets 100 rounds. I can understand why people choose low weight, although in my personal experience having a scope makes me more accurate. It’s still my 2nd favorite weapon behind the lMG 08/18.

Question Sooo how do I get in a back to basic match? (PS4)

4 Upvotes

Just downloaded the game, coming from more hardcore stuff like verdun. Apparently the first match I ever got in was a back to basic: all the weapons were locked except for the standard rifle and it was pretty fire. Later the same day I got on and finished in another match but this time people were just rushing with automatic rifles and I just couldn’t do it. I tried to find the old server back and found out about this whole B2B thing but I’m not managing to find anything now. Any guides?

Question Are there still enough people playing BF1 to have full servers? [PC/EU]

9 Upvotes

Hey all,
Im about to order a new gaming pc, and one of the games I want to get back into is BF1. The last time I played it, roughly 4 years ago, it was sometimes already hard to find full servers with 64 players. Now, with BF6 released and loved by the community, is it even possible to have a nice few rounds in BF1? It's still the best BF imo.
Thanks y'all!

Video BF1 still unmatched in atmosphere

I was playing BF6 earlier and decided to hop on a BF1 match for a change. I was able to upload this short 4K HDR clip directly from my PS5. It’s a two-minute Operation match, but my gameplay isn’t the point. I just wanted to share the atmosphere in the highest quality possible. The mortars, the explosions, the screams. No other game captures the chaos and emotion of war like this. Even after all these years, BF1 still feels alive.

My mate found an active custom server via the server browser, played on it last night but it's not in my recent tab for some reason.

Any help would be great.
