MAJOR tips for the next game | Forums

1. Be able to show your rank in a lobby (60, 70, 80, etc..) Let me show my appreciation for the game!

It's kinda pointless showing player levels, it tells me nothing about another player as pretty much everyone is level 50+. I'd much rather have a player level system based on skill and not EXP earned. Your level goes up if you play well against players of your level or higher, you level down by playing poorly against players of your level or lower. It's simple and it actually informs me of the type of players I'm going up against. The game then has a way to make even teams in matchmaking, right now the game has no way to make even teams; I'll be in a party with 2+ KDR guys and the game puts a random on my team with a 2 KDR when the whole other team has KDRs under 1. Lastly, clan tags should be shown as well.

2. The random spawn delay is un-necessary and for a highly competitive shooter, this is appalling. Spawn delay is when the game starts and it can take an extra 5-15 seconds to spawn for some odd reason (i assume it has something to do with connection)

It think the spawn delay is there to load every player's character. If you switch classes in the middle of the game, it takes like 10 seconds to load in your character. This all should be done in the lobby before the game though; voting should be the 1st 30 seconds, then you pick your starting class and everything during the last 30 seconds. I think it's more appalling that you can spawn in facing backwards, that's just plain stupid.

1. I agree with your 1st point. However, I wasnt thinking quite that deeply. But a system that shows the skill level of players would be AWESOME.


2. I have seen spawn delays last 30+ seconds. It is pretty unacceptable when I am in a tense match and i cant leave the spawn for 30 seconds. Especially if you play maps like overpass where a good team can be at your spawn before you even leave (This has happened to me).

Yeah, sometimes my team spawns with 15:15 instead of 15:00, I'm not sure if the other team spawns then or not. Sometimes I notice a player who is in spot he can't possibly be in and his team must have spawned early. It's definitely noticeable on a map like Rig. I haven't experienced spawn delays mid-match unless I switch classes (if that was what you were talking about).
