Large Preview option from Find Game tab

Postby Gimbalt_FAF » 28 May 2012, 20:12

I think it would be a great option to add the ability to see a large preview of the the map of games currently available in the Find Game tab. (Join game window.) Similar to what is available in the power lobby when you're waiting for additional players to join your game.

Would be nice. Also in this large preview it should show players and there ratings so you can decide if that game is around your level or not and if the map looks good.

The lobby already show the players inside a game. It's on the tooltip if you are hovering.

I'm not as concerned with this aspect--although it would be nice too. I am thinking of a basic display of mex locations and layout of the bases. Sure you don't need it much for the maps you play all the time--but the maps you've never seen before are a complete mystery unless you join the game and then click the "Large Preview" button under the map.

Great!
But it's not that convenient to go find the map to check it out when you're looking to join a game though.
Maybe there could be a way to link to the already existing funtion from the join game screen?
