Game Mode viewable in Lobby please

Postby Gunseng » 25 Feb 2012, 03:06

I'm getting tired of joining a game right before it's full, taking a glance at teams, yep looks balanced, x'ing in and then wonder why their ACU's are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Oh, because it's Supremacy.

Please if possible make Game mode more easily recognizable in the FaF or game lobby.

Unless I'm missing something, game mode has always been viewable in lobbies, just scroll down in the options section.

I think he means that it should be more visible. I kind of agree.
Then again, one should always glance at the options tab before X'ing in.

True, but many people tend to pressure you to x in and go, and it's all the way at the bottom and since the standard option is assassination it doesn't really pop-up in your mind to check before starting. I think there are some people who take advantage of knowing this, especially since the rating system is based after scoring ACU kills.

IMO it's your responsibility to look at the game settings. It takes approximately two seconds to grab the scroll bar and drag it down to the bottom to check victory and share conditions. If the host doesn't like waiting that long, well, that's their problem, and if they kick you for it, then it probably wasn't a great game to be in to begin with.

If a host tries to "pull one over on you", as I've had happen before, I simply add them to my mental blacklist and avoid them in the future.

Lastly, you can, of course, host your own games too, which will completely solve the issue. :)
