How about a way to switch servers without having to go home and quitting the game from the home screen and starting the game up again and going through that long game loading process?

You can already. Just hit the options button and select QUIT... Takes you back to the pregame options screen.

I was thinking about something similar.
In options put a “switch server” selection.
It already does it if you platoon with someone who is on the opposite server.

There already is a "switch server" selection in the options menu.  That's how I do it.  Just select the server you want it to default to, quit the game, start up from beginning.  That way you don't have to go to the "server selection screen" and wait for it to show up and select whatever.

Oh hell. I never noticed it. I’ll look tomorrow lol. 
I always quit, switch, then logged back in. 
You are talking about the in game options right? As in the garage?

It's not that big a deal on the XB1 (and I expect it's the same on the PS4), because the servers show up pretty quick if you use the Server Selection Screen box on the loading screen.  But it always used to take a while for all the servers to show up on the 360, so I just got in the habit of switching from the Options menu before I quit the game and logged back in.  Know what I mean?

I would love to see the population count next to each server. I'm often on at times when Euro server is getting low and US people on the rise.

That's a great idea too!

I tried it this morning on my Xbox One, this is still almost as slow as going home and quitting the game. Can't there be a way to switch servers without having to go through the entire game start-up, click past the videos, etc?
