How bout trying the game before complaining about it. Battlelog worked extremely well; better than just about every server browser I've ever used with the exception of Source games.
Go to Battle Log, look through list of servers with all the filters and organizational tools you'd expect; join game; loads for about 15-20 seconds in the back ground while you can continue to browse the internet; when the game fully loads, it full-screens you're ready to go.
