Theater of War - good ideas or absurd ramblings?

[Kennycrack]

Hello community! I would like to ask you a few questions if you let me...
Don't you think that the theater of war seems very empty?
There isn't any counter that shows how the battle for the territory is going, you don't know how many players are online, how many games are being played in the territory...

All of this makes the tow campagin hard to play, because you don't know how to planify an strategy.

I think it could be a good idea to add counters that shows this kind of information, because you, with a simple look at those numbers, could organise today tactics, and the people will equilibrate the battles in the territories, making the matching system more quick and adding the feeling that you are really facing an enemy because your territories are in danger. (for exaple: if you see that the JSF are winning 29 - 27 in La Mancha)

I hope you please comment and let your opinion and ubi staff gets some ideas (and maybe change something), because any change inspired in the community's ideas are for better.

Sorry if I got to long and if I post in the wrong thread (maybe I had to post this in te Theater of War post...)

Thnk you so much!

I want a counter to represent people waiting for more people for a game in different territories. Would make it alot easier to find one of the few games wich are out there.

Yes!!! that kind of things that make the game easier to get by!

Guys there are in my opinion very few players on the Theater of War because there are very few gamers who have BOUGHT Endwar PC in the first place.

Sales for the Xbox360 and PS3 are just slightly more than 1M and this is after having been out since November of last year. And console players are waiting around 1/2 hr at times for a player match. So if console has more players than the PC and they're waiting that long, you can safely assume you're going to wait much longer than 1/2 hour for a Theater of War match on the PC version of Endwar.

I've played endwar in XBOX and we played like 5 or 6 matches in a evening, it was like ending one, hit the quick play button of the ToW and get in another match very quickly...

Sure there is quickplay, however if there's a certain strategy you're trying to do or a certain map you prefer, you run the high risk of waiting a while.

I've had this game for the PC for one day and, dear me, there is so much missing!

** Warning: This rant relates to multiplayer only **

1. There is no way of knowing who is playing in what map. The overview maps needs massive improvement if it is to resemble anything near a multiplayer game lobby. For now it's click and pray there's someone else looking for a game.

2. Once in a lobby with others there is no way of chatting until you are in-game.

3. Why on earth is there no text-based team chat key?? Not all of us own or want to use a mic.

4. chat needs fixing. chat needs fixing. chat needs fixing.

5. Funds take ages to update! Had to play 2 additional games before it picked up the credits I won 3 games ago.

Come on Ubi, we all know you make almost as much money as EA, fix your game! It has too much potential to just let it rot. It's bad enough that we had to wait for months after it was released on the consoles (piracy lol that tickled me, like delaying release would stop it).

Sort it out, please! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
