More Efficient Server Browsing?

[Joe_The_Plumber]

Hey guys, I know this may seem like a stupid question, but what filter application will get the most servers to come up? I'm relatively new to BF3 on the PC (played on the xbox for a bit the last two years) and am getting somewhat tired of only finding a few decent servers to play on.

This is essentially how I have my filters set up:

I just want more options. I play a hardcore rush server almost exclusively, but I would also like to branch out. Those filters provide me with practically empty servers, or servers located in Eastern Europe or something. Seems like I can't get a decent combination of filters to give me more than 2-3 full 64 man servers, and I know there have to be more than that out there.

So not paying attention to maps, game modes, hc or not, etc, what filters do you guys use to get the best servers to show up? Am I missing something? haha

quick notes:
select either of the presets, not all
select the player size (32,64)
sort by number of player so the most pop will be up in top

however, the server browser is sometimes "special" and I dont mean that positively

I think you're getting stopped by Plumbkbuster...god my jokes are awful at 8 AM.

Like Jokerle said, search by the available slots, as this will bring up more servers, and of course you can also click "Players" in the browser below to sort most -> least players (you may have to click it twice). Another good point that he made would be to choose a single preset. Lastly, to fix your region issues, you can filter it by your home region or include a few others; to find the settings for this, just look right below the game/DLC checkboxes and click "Set regions". Depending on your playing time, however, this may be detrimental; for example, at 1 am my time, US Central, I'd probably have better luck finding a full Euro server.

From there it's basically choosing what you want to try out/train at. TDM or Close Quarters are good for infantry combat, Tank Superiority and Conquest on Armored Kill or End Game are fantastic for honing your skills in the tanks and IFVs (plus helicopters n' st00f), and Aftermath Conquest combines them seamlessly - plus has tons of Scout Helicopters. <3 Just avoid Scavenger mode at ALL costs.

Uncheck the infantry only that will add a bunch of servers

I'd worry more about the ping of the servers, Maybe set your regions and click some of the 1-5 Free slots, +10 free slots to filter out all the low player servers unless that is what you are looking for. GL

Wait.. the Trojan horse was designed so you could get your people in.. to open the gates. In your scenario you open the gates.. to put the Trojan horse in. I don't get it.. which can only mean one thing.
