greetings, after almost 1 year of custom matches, i still don’t see a few important features.
( which i would like for these to be implemented, when the team has time of course )
such as:
ability to add a description, title, and color title of the session rooms
( i know that mods shows the description, but sometimes it’s not enough, and would be cool if we could expand it for other purposes as well. and as @Nexius06 rightfully suggested, additionaly the ability to make modded map with colors to make them stand out a little bit and make reading a bit easier and fuild )
Have more filters in the search for easier access for users to select and pick what they want ( suggested by @Nexius06 )
Ability to make map rotation, and select more than one modded map ( suggested by @Devenddar )
ability to lock one team from players joining
( mostly useful for modders regarding pves or in general those who likes to practice against bots or learn the map without mildly inconviniences. i mean, you can’t earn xps anyway so… i don’t see why not )
ability to enable or disable team balancer
in order to allow more players in one team, or another.
( mostly useful for modders or community recreators where for example, if wants to recreate historical battles such as berlin where germany will have fewer players, and the russians will have more. which can work with the previous feature described. and/or generally, be able to play with friends in the same team without splitting half of my friends in one team, and the other half in the other )
ability for admins to kick players or to the very least, some sort of vote system.
bring back 20 bots option.
cheers.
if anyone reading has more options that he/she would like to see, post them down below, and within reasonable discussion, i’ll might add them to this list.
the devs should also allow map makers to put in music that will play to all players, so some custom matches become far less boring.
i also think that there should be a warmup prior to the actual battle, like 15-20 seconds of it where players can screw around and kill one another, even the friendlies, those kills during warmup wont count towards the score.
for how much i’d like those things i’m not sure it’s duable.
primarely for musics,
one bad actor can ruin it for all so… that’s how it usually go.
though it would be really cool blast some good music or soundtracks from bf, or ro2 for example.
regarding the 15-20 seconds can be beneficial for loading the map while screwing around though. but dunno if devs will be willing for that
i got these ideas from wolfenstein enemy territory multiplayer, back then it was quite fun playing all those multiplayer servers with all kinds of crazy maps, and music they’ve put in, so i thought it would be epic if enlisted had this sort of thing. oh and ps, the map creators should have it much easier to colour the text for their custom maps, to make their custom matches stick out more than ordinary maps.
i mean it definetly will get flashy, but id prefer flashy over the boring gray.
i got more ideas; we need a option to hide empty servers just like how we have a option to hide locked servers.
we also need to give map creators the ability to modify player’s hitboxes, so we could have gameplays such as headshot-only, and getting hit anywhere else wont deal damage.
I know the post was intended mostly towards PC players, but I would like to see additional options for console players too. One main one is the ability to disallow enemies to “deconstruct” fortifications and no explosive packs. My group played around with these rules just out of an honor system, and it actually enhanced the gameplay SIGNIFICANTLY.
I would like to get other players in on it too, but I don’t think the honor system/ server rules would hold up very well. The only way to go about it is to have a disable feature on them.
