Is it just me, or are match hosts abusing their ability to ban players? I just started playing a few months ago and it drives me crazy to sit in a lobby for ten or fifteen minutes waiting for a team deathmatch to start, only to have the match host change the match to uprising or capture the diamond, launch the match and start banning people left and right. or better yet, match hosts that ban you if you kill them too often. if that nuisance were removed, i'd be more than happy to deal with random server disconnects that seem to happen quite a bit, or the automatic vote to ban you when a noob on your own team walks in front of you as you are unloading a clip into a bad guy and gets killed.
Match Host banning doesnt offer any positive points to the game to anyone other than the match host anyway. I say, get rid of it.

bad hosts are really annoying. the worst part is that you can't tell if he's going to ban you or leave the match at the very end if he's losing. that's why I always try to be on the host's team.

for the gametype change, it's because people didn't realized that the host changed it and they don't want to play that mode so they leave.

when the host ban someone, it should be written ''(player) has been banned'' and not ''(player) has left the match''.

i've personally been banned after a gametype change more times than i can remember. Now, i leave the match as soon as they change it so i dont suffer any losses by leaving the match after they launch it. the truth is, i enjoy the actual gameplay of FC2 more than the CoD series. I just wish the lobby/match system was more like the CoD series. No waiting for, what seems like, forever for people to click their ready buttons or for the host to force the launch. no unexpected gametype changes. no arbitrary bannings. you just pick your match type and within moments you are shooting things.

bad hosts are lame, but the ability to remove certain players at times is a necessity ive said it before, no ban option is like not having a bouncer in a bar, you have to have the ability to remove stupid people from a room rather than being stuck dealing with them.

u just gotta get on a with a decent host, and play with them, or host your own room.

unfortunately like every other thing in life some stupid F**k will abuse it, oh well what can you do besides avoid them, and report them for game tampering.

HI!
Why would you need the ability to kick someone DURING the game? Before the game starts - of course, that's ok.
Team-killers could get banned autom. after the 2nd time.

Your stats should be saved everytime you leave a game, so it is not possible for the host (or anybody else) to create your own stats.
I wouldn't mind if they do, if it makes them happy, but other people have to suffer because of it.

I say for FC3, Ubi should take a look at the MP of KILLZONE2, (cause i don't think anything will change in FC2)!

cus there are just as many d bags who will talk excessive crap and offensive garbage in the game as ones who will do it in the lobby.

i think there should be a bigger penalty for people who leave the match during play or after the 5 second count down begins in the lobby, like im talking -2000+xp penalty for quitting early cus i see that alot more often than i see hosts abusing the ban.


and as for the "2 team kills autoban" suggestion, i've had plenty of noobs walk infront of me as im shooting an enemy and end up with an AR burst to the back, or people accidently getting caught in an IED blast while trying to protect the diamond. sorry but the computer cant distinguish the circumstances of a team kill and whether it was an accident or on purpose.

OK, no autoban, although it sounds quite dangerous to be on your team... !
Just wanted to say you need something to ban team-killers and the "vote"-function isn't the best solution.
And can't you "mute" the d-bags and ban them from future-games?

I agree with the penalty for leaving the game, you often end a 16 player match with 6-7, that really sucks
Otherwise i experienced myself what "uncle..." describes many times: a host changing gametype & map after 20 min. of waiting for 15 players! Don't allow it and we won't have that problem!

But the biggest joke really is the"XY left the game" message, after the host kicked somebody.

Don't want to argue with you CIB, there are idiots on every game and they should be banned, but i think on fc2 the hosts have WAY too much power!
