Remove the Min Players needed before starting a server

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 8:19 am

This system would be fine if C2 MP was wildly popular. However, the sad fact is there's simply not that many people playing. In Australia, you're lucky to find more than 4 servers with ppl.

One problem is, once they're full, there's no queue system to wait in line. So you go to try find an empty server to start populating... and then get stuck on the lobby... for 10 minutes.

There's nothin more boring than sitting on a blank screen with the same music rolling over. I say scrap the lobby screen, just load up the level and just have it as free-for-all until the min number of players are in, then restart the stage. People are far more inclined to stick around a low player number server if there's something to do.

tl;dr The lobby waiting system is killing the MP. Let people muck around in the server until a min number of players join.

I totally agree, I've been sitting in the lobby waiting for 30 minutes on and off, this is unreal how bad the wait times are... something has to change. is it just the lack of players in MP? or are there server issues.

They probably didn't want this because people can just organize to find a dead server, then add idol players and use them to rank up. It would take a fair amount of time though, but still you are correct especially about Aussie servers, so i usually go matchmaking, where you have the same problem.

I agree. I'm Aussie to and the server with the lowest ping is the nfo something servers with 270 Latency. (around 190ping)

It is ridiculous =(

This is the 1st game I actually enjoy a lot, and play a lot but turns out the Multiplayer is dead.!.!.!.!


If Crytek actually used a proper Anti-cheat, fixed the server issues in the demo and had DX11 at the start, this game would have sooo many players, but no.
