I understand that it was a game design choice. Terrible design imo and its killing the game. No party matchmaking? You have to research the game to figure out how to join games where people use voip? Really? I think the research that needed to be done was on SD's part....not the gamers. Get with the times man! Stop making excuses for "design decisions" that were obviously POOR.
I usually can't stand it when people complain about stupid unimportant things,but this is something that every single person that's playing this game should be complaining about on an hourly basis until it's fixed.
Glitches and lag are a part of gaming with new releases.Seems that SD is dedicated to fixing these issues,but the fact that it's such a hassle to group with friends is unforgivable.
No lobby system,no proper matchmaking system,and no clan support is
THE main issue with this game.I'm part of a gaming community that likes to play together as a team.Well it's kinda hard to do that when there really is nothing in this game where you can form a team.
Don't get me wrong,I love this game and think that it's a definite new direction of greatness in the FPS genre,but they really dropped the ball on this aspect of it.
MAG has a perfect lobby and clan system,and I just don't know why SD couldn't have taken a page out of their book.Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's running on P2P servers(I'm on PS3),I'm not sure,but I really hope that they can make this game more clan friendly in the future.
