+ More multiplayer match setting. (starting weapons, respawn time, disable killstreak bonus, enable/disable specific weapons, etc). I wanted to make a match in FC2 with no starting weapons, forcing players to be stealthy in the jungle until they found a randomly scattered weapon. No respawn, last team standing.. before "DayZ" was around.
.*setting possibilities: bullet damage increase to realistic , on/off team revival , on/off killstreak power ups , on/off radar , on/off enemy indicators , on/off vehicles , customize weapon sets that spawn on map including grenades and other pickups , customize starting weapons for all players- including no starting weapon- which would make player load-outs disabled for the match , allowance of more than one team for deathmatch or similar (team red, blue, green, purple, etc) , on/off respawn , modify respawn time , on/off death killcam , teammate betrayal options and penalty options , on/off dynamic day cycle (assuming there might be one in multiplayer) , option for weapon spawn locations to spawn a random weapon (keeps map-wise players from abusing weapon hog technique i.e. taking rocket launcher every time it spawns) , on/off boats , on/off wildlife?, on/off turrets , on/off self healing , on/off battle cry , on/off weather conditions , select the time of day of the map (so there's no need for multiple copies of a custom created map, the custom map's created day/night would be the default) ,
+ ^Ability to name and save the custom match settings for easy future match creation. The custom match name could also be shown in the game lobby when in use. Match lobby names titled "Zombies" "Last Man Standing" "Last Team Standing" "Snipers" "Hand to Hand" "CQC" etc. would help players decide what game to join.
.* Aside from match names, it might also help for matches to have a 'tag' to them for easy searching. Games tagged with Deathmatch, Capture, Casual, Artist Exhibition, Race Course, Survival/Last man standing, Multi-team, Free for All, Custom Map, Custom Settings, Default Map, Default Settings, etc.. would make preferred match searching easier. Games might benefit from having more than one tag to them.
+ A player downed by a headshot probably shouldn't be able to be revived.. or even a direct rocket shot. Maybe idk.
