>>716086563Yeah, it's why I don't look back with overwhelming fondness of the community server-only era like the people who post pic related. It's FAR preferable to modern matchmaking, don't get me wrong. I totally agree. However, the ideal is having some officially supported, dedicated, vanilla servers (which would be accessible via the server browser), kinda like the Quickplay era of TF2. That's the perfect middle-ground for those of us who just want to play the game normally and have fun. No admin cancer, no ads, no retarded changes.
Strangely, id Software eventually added in vanilla servers in fucking 2022...little too late there
