Simple - Please allow us to privatize Custom Games to Friends-only, maybe with passwords. Sometimes people just want to have fun alone or with friends without random people being able to join in. It’s just a pain in the ass to have to votekick randoms who just join other’s games for no reason when they can clearly make their own games.
Also, if you’re alone and someone joins you can’t votekick them because “not even people to votekick”. That’s just dumb. In this situation, whichever of the two hosted the custom game should just be able to unanimously kick the other.
yes please, i hate it when i was just trying to play with friends last night and people kept joining we tried to kick but it literally didn’t work, no one else could vote
Also another thing I forgot to mention is the amount of bots. I know that the amount was “temporarily” reduced when alone so clearly there is plans to change it; but right now it’s just not really fun if you want to play alone as all you get is one enemy bot. It was fine before when it was filled with bots, I don’t really know why this was even changed.
i was doing 2v2 messing around on conquest the first match we did hardcore squad german v german normandy equipment on an old moscow map called kalenia river
what a bad luck, the first time i tried to do it in lone figther for 4 times, there were always people coming in, a private lobby is really needed, like in destiny or halo
But I don’t understand the people who create custom battles and still throw out the people who connect. In a sense, where the logic is to create custom matches if you don’t want to play with random people when there is no separate friend lobby.
It’s just a poorly designed system right now. It’s no one’s fault. It’s not the person who creates the match’s fault as he has no way to signal to others not to join. It’s not the joiners’ fault as he had no way to know the host didn’t want them to join.
A simple password / padlock system to show it’s meant to be private will fix the issue no problem.
Because it would no longer be called a “custom lobby” but a “private lobby” which would be a completely different option. In one case or another, I think a custom lobby in general isn’t a very good thing anyway, just because it’s very hard to come up with exactly how to attract people to your personally invented game options. Everyone will be with their own individual gaming needs.
So the best solution is to just modify everything to “Private lobby”, with passwords and ect. And just remove custom lobby altogether.
That’s true. A lot of the custom games are just 1 person. Might as well make them private if most people are just going to make their own to meet their desires anyway.
custom lobbies do still have a use- the more chaotic FFA games(everyone v. everyone)
getting enough friends for a decent size lobby would be impossible for most people
a simple option to restict it to frinds only/password required probably wouldnt be that hard and would allow private games
it was just squads without the hud and with FF on
