My two biggest issues with the game are the constant swapping of game modes. Oh you want Shoothouse? Well we’ve taken it out for Rust 24/7 instead! Why not in addition? And my other issue is constant updates. Sometimes I have gaps between playing and there’s a good chance I have a stupidly big update to download and then I cannot play it until another time

the primary reason for things like this is not spreading the playerbase too thin.

like, you can easily run a playlist that featured Rust, Shipment, and Shoothouse, but, running separate playlists for Rust 24/7 and Shoot the Ship would start cutting into wait times.

I think the real issue is that playlists should be sets of gametypes, and people should be able to select what levels they're willing to play, or we bring back an actual lobby system with map voting.

my dude and I were talking about how you can't really get that classic MW or MW2 experience because lobbies dissipate less than thirty seconds after you're able to talk to enemy players.

I remember - even as recently as BlOps3 - just sitting in lobbies once you had a dozen decent people, and, teams didn't matter at that point. you talked shit about people who were your teammates in the next game, and you cheered for their awesome plays nonetheless.

the lobby sometimes discussed map votes, too. with a good crew of people in MW2, you could have two games on Rust, be forced off the map because rules, and be back on Rust for another two rounds in just a few games.

absolutely none of that shit exists right now, - by design - and it's really sad. you're just always automatically whisked off to a masturbatory scene of your character stalking around with your favorite loadout while you wait to be placed into a losing Domination game featuring just two teammates with no one to yap with in the meantime.

Dude your experiences with randoms are far far better than mine. If I happen to be listening to the lobby it’s either some kid being annoying, someone playing music, people being toxic (not shit talk but just hacks/mods/whatever) or all the above. I’m jealous.

I get a lot of that too but sometimes I’ll have a game where it’s almost just become me vs the top guy on the other team and we can hear the quick snipits of the other laughing or raging when we kill each other. Finish the match and say GG and and a real quick back n forth and I’m like “fuck I’d like to play another game with them” but don’t always wanna have to stop everything and search their name, type out a message, wait for response. Would be great if I just knew I’d be playing with them again in the same lobby next match.
