And that is one of the main reasons I don't play the game much, crap choice of servers especially for non-premium members. Seriously, I spend at least 10 minutes trying to find a good server that:
- isn't near empty
- has more than just 1-3 maps running (usually kharg, caspian and metro or some other map) or most of them are just metro with 1000 tickets

- no stupid rules
- no stupid instant spawn vehicle
- no stupid amount of tickets
This is for 32 & 48 players with conquest large or rush, anything more than 32-48 players and it is just a complete and utter spam fest and anything less just becomes boring. Don't like any other game modes, especially death match stuff. And normal mode since there is virtually no team work in hardcore and too much camping.
The last few times I have played the game, I have had to just join a server with like 8 people each side and after one or two rounds, there are then just like 3 people each side left, takes about another 20 minutes for another 6 people or so to join (at least it means I can get use aircraft without having to worry about constant lock ons every 5 seconds

) and if I do get lucky and manage to get into a good full server it is guaranteed I will be kicked after a round or two, either to make room for a friend/member or no reason is given....
So yeah, as you can imagine, with the above it can get extremely frustrating to the point that you just give up.
