A good community server is important, probably the most important factor with games like this.
It's one of the major things we lost when dedicated servers went the way of the dodo: the ability for server admins to ban or whitelist people and so cultivate a better environment. It wasn't perfect, as there was a constant inflow of edgy teenagers, and admins aren't always around. But I think anyone who was playing voip-enabled multiplayer in the mid aughts or so experienced how much more consistently obnoxious and hateful the tone was in games with matchmaking vs dedicated servers. There's a reason that CoD lobbies became the avatar for online racism.
Haven't found a good community server yet, tho community servers are around for wardogs. Should probably browse those more
Modern military shooters always attract a certain crowd so I'd recommend you start searching for a good one.
