it would be better to follow call of duty and allow u to invite friends to your own personal lobby and then be able to join a game with everyone that was in your lobby

did you even watch the video?? You trying to say that cod would be better than a server browser which makes rooms easily accessible. In that video you see the game Black Hawk Down. Thats how all games should be set up , it allows you to join your friends servers and view any other potential rooms that interest you. Instead of entering a random room not knowing what to expect, not to mention how faulty cod is when you try to join rooms with your buddies. Get your head on straight buddy, time to realize whats REALLY BETTER . I suggest you watch the video again all the evidence is there, SERVER BROWSER all the way.. Now unless you can come up with some facts and a actual arguement to why cod is better .... dont respond to this and jump on the server browser side ...PEACE....

why could u not have team lobbies and a server browser? COD style. by that i mean u have a lobby that you make with your friends before you find a server. but in this instance instead of joining the a random server you could select one from a browser.

i could be wrong but i think that was kinda the intent of kb420s post, more in reference to personal team lobbies

i suppose you could have both, but if there is a server browser then you all can just join the same room... no problem. A lobby would be nice though so you can confirm with your buddys which room you want to join.

Yeah, true, if we had the same server browser BHD did, this game would be on top... we would actually have a community... but the sad fact is... its too hard to meet new people, too hard to get a clan together, and too hard to get your friends in public rooms. The fact that they have not even told us ANYTHING and continue to hide.... makes me think it will never be fixed. This game will die.

Your probably right, without a server browser or dedicated servers (consoles) the lasting appeal is weak, and there is little to no room for competitive gamers.

I doubt there will be any significant fix for this. It seems these days it doesn't matter a whole lot to devs if a game lasts, as long as it does ok initially.

At this point, all im asking for is a statement... and they wont even spit that.

Yeah, they need to work on their co-operative play support... A server browser sounds good. I'm convinced.

right? gameplay = Most epic fun i ever dun seen.
Organization = mehhh

I wish i had my own connects in derr.. id make a game errbody could be proud of.

"You play COD?"
"HELL NAW, I PLAY BRINK"
"Dayyyyummmm"

It would be soo good, it wouldnt be just a game, but a badge of honor, to wear and flaunt in front in the face of any near by spectator. Oh goshhhh if i only had the time, money, and IQ to be a game developer, and the money to start a company..... alas, i am without most of those things. There will be no perfect game....
