Multiplayer sucks here's why.... | Forums

[willgonz]

I spend about 75% of the time in the lobbys and 15% of the time playing an actual game. Here are the problems:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>You can't join a game already in session.
<LI>Let's say you decide to wait for a game to finish. So you wait three minutes and then the host decides he's had enough, so he quits. You just wasted your time.
<LI>Searching for a game takes forever. So by the time you click on one that says setup, it has already started.[/list]

If you're going into Solo Elimination who cares if the game already started and people have kills already, catch up if you're good enough.

Other games switch to a new host when the host player leaves.

1. Takes away from the teamwork aspect. Play Halo 2 if you want it.
2. Deal with it. That doesn't mean the MP is bad just because you have bad luck.
3. That happens to me about 3 out of every 10 games.
4. You would complain that you lost by 20 if they did that. Just find another game that's in lobby. Not that hard.
5. Name another game that does it besides Halo 2.

It sounds like more of a bad-luck-and-bad-attitude situation than a bad game.

Oh and this thread shouldn't be even three stars. More like zero.

The whole aim of GR has always meant that you've had to wait for games to start before you can join.

And the MP is excellent.

Multiplayer is Excellent. But the lobby sucks.
And this is one of the weaknesses of the game.

If "The whole aim of GR has always meant that you've had to wait for games to start before you can join." Then when hosts leave a game a new host should be picked like in Perfect Dark Zero. Instead of people wasting their time waiting for a game to start. Some people start hosting a game. Then they walk away, you have 15 people waiting to play and the host says, "Sorry I was on the toilet and now I have to leave."

I just wish that you could watch when you join in the middle of a game, or that a matchmaking service was employed.

Observer for late joiners is the only thing this game is missing besides more maps and guns.

LOL - toilet takes 15 minutes?! :O

Well add me to your friends list, I've never had problems joining or finding a decent server so far.

I remember being in my friend's room. He was gone a long time and he got back and said it got clogged. We delayed the game even longer by laughing at him for another 5 minutes. It happens lol.

It's very simple; if you don't like the way someone hosts, find another room or make your own.
*****ing about it just shows a lack of maturity.
