Do that 5-10 times casually as you play like usual and you'll end up with a list that should at the very least be more reliable than the randomness of the quickmatch.

Absolutely - a very easy solution that will actually improve your experience in the long term.
I get some of the objections but they can all be easily overcome.
I'm surprised a major site like EG has posted an attack on such a progressive move from DICE that I firmly hope is implemented in far more console games. Choice and control is a good thing. I've got some servers now that are almost like little communities - so much better than playing randomly. Reply-6
I didn't play all of the demo, only the opening level.
The sound is odd if you leave it set at high dynamic range but don't have the 5.1 kit to use it. Change the setting for TV speakers.
The comments about the dialogue and story telling are rubbish. I don't want to spoil anything but that little sub plot with the boy is done incredibly well. No emotional attachment? Rubbish. Reply-2
@Boki We certainly should be putting TOR down for being a bit of a "no frills games", even if WoW was upon launch. EA haven't lived in a time warp, the game should be judged by the standards of quality that WoW has set now, if not the volume of content. Reply-2
Defiance review
The game has it's problems and there's a long way to go yet but the devs seem committed.
I'm having a blast despite the faults. 7/10 for me and I'm enjoying it more than anything I've played so far this year. Reply +4
