I can honestly not understand why the server browser has been removed. The lobby system only makes sense for starting a new game and currently doesn't work as it should. I was told that the server browser was removed because using it, people will enter a game or leave a game at any point during a campaign. Well, I've been using the lobby system and people are doing it anyway. Many times I've been thrown into a game that's been going on for 30 minutes or more. Now we're forced to advertise our steam groups to have people come back to our servers which is very difficult . This also means we'll need to create multiple groups for different kinds of servers as some people won't join a group according to that specific group's server's settings or configs.
