CQC CQC LOBBIES

[SkipRat]

Please FD,

Please for the love of god, give us the ability to create lobbies, so we can get friends together to shoot each other.

More importantly, how can we make leagues, cups and other competitions if we can't get opposing together?

I don't care if you do not provide us with a chat ability in the lobby, I just want CQC to be a success, because it is fantastic idea.

You can make a squad and you'll be in the same game. If you get two large enough squads you can go TDM or CTF. + You'll have in game comms with squaddies.

I am in fact happy there is no chat in the game. Much anger is avoided this way.

Agreed. It would be nice to have something in the lobby though. Even a button you could press marked "This is just not happening lets all try TDM instead" or "The matchmaker is bugged again lets all log out and back in again" would be helpful.

Yes. A common lobby with game preference would work imo.

For example

Player 1: DM Priority 1, TDM Priority 2, CTF Never
Player 2: DM Priority 3, TDM Priority 1, CTF Priority 1
Player 3: DM Priority 1, TDM Priority Never, CTF Never
Player 4: DM Priority Never, TDM Priority 1, CTF 2
etc

And all in lobby could be visible (Up to 50). So that you can see if there are people in lobby and why are we not getting games. Would be nice to have an indicator about running games too so that you know there might be a place later on. Such as DM: 15/18 players, TDM 0 players, CTF 8/8 players.

...a man can dream...

You dont need to have the ability to chat in lobbies, you just want a place to pull people together. So if you have like 8 buddies, you can all play with each other.

In most cases, people will be using teamspeak or another variant, so why do people automatically assume that a lobby must have the feature to chat...?

And have an add friend feature that pulls up to 7 friends into the waiting room...

I know why game FD did it, because they want new players to mean each other and it would have all be nice a lovey dovey and commendable, still there is more than one to meet new people. Leagues, competitions all pulling people together to have fun, but no FD went down the root where you can't do that, you have to play against random people and random people only, but you have to prey to good that if there are 8 of you, you have enough hours in a day to actually find each other and play together.

Could you imagine the people running Hutton Orbital Radio, doing a weekly league and broadcasting it and creating fun and enjoyment and something positive to talk about... Nope, can't do that....

Most people don't have eight buddies who want to play at the same time so what FD have done makes perfect sense to me but as Sowelu has said, FD have implemented the feature you want.
