Server visibility can differ based on filters, platform restrictions, ping limits, region, or crossplay settings.
Xbox has a fixed storage allocation for mods. When storage is full, new mods may fail to download or update.
This may be caused by several things. You may be running a different game version (e.g. servers on the experimental development branch), or servers may require the use of certain (user-generated) add-ons and mods. Finally, there may be connection problems between you and the server due to firewalls or other obstacles along the way.
The game supports all playstyles, from casual public matches to milsim communities. The experience depends largely on the server you join and your preferences.
