Barring an actual server browser for the Battlefield 6 beta, its new custom search feature is the next best thing, but EA's Battlefield Studios confirms that it's leading to "unusual wait times." The addition was introduced as a way to give everyone more control over their matches for the second open beta weekend.

Ahead of the event, I asked Gamescom directors Stefan Heikhaus and Tim Endres that age old question, and while they didn't tell me too much, this year's event is still shaping up to be amazing.
