We want local matchmaking and/or dedicated servers. i did a poll during the beta and it got ignored even though 95% of players voted for regional matchmaking.

It appears Crytek do not want to keep their customers happy.

The only way we could possibly get local matchmaking or dedicated servers is to boycote this game and not play it online, possibly for 24 hours.

This may wake them up and move them to act. Again this probably won't budge them. They are completely ignorant.

Matchmaking, lag, hit detection, host migration is a complete joke and outdated.

I wouldn't call them ignorant..

The game has been coded a certain way, taking advantage of console match making style - adding in a lobby system, may require a lot of work from the original game code.

While it would be great to have some form of explanation from the Dev team, I can understand why it was made the way it was..


Many console owners just want to press "play now" and not worry about choices in host or maps etc - ala COD

From a gamer who uses PC I can see that many could want more choices, maybe they could add an option to search, for games meeting certain filters?



Don't know how hard it would be to integrate now the game has shipped though..

Dedicated servers is very, very unlikely for consoles..


Maybe regional filters would end most of the stress - so US play US only or UK vs Uk only, however that in turn would limit the amount of players and games...

Very tricky situation..

Well, they could both add Server Browser and keep the Quick Match option which would search for nearby Dedicated Servers - with game mode and ranked/unranked filters.

Which is one of my suggestions..

However that would mean some way of adding in dedicated servers - and hosting.

If they have dedicated servers - they would be preset game modes and maps, which people may still complain about


BF3 use private servers for console though, but to control them (setting up custom games and maps rotations) you have to pay extra..
