Initiate game without return to lobby.

Just a quickie that I only just remembered, if someone joins mid-game in CT you had to go back to the lobby, can there just be a "Add New Player" in the menu system which would spawn the player onto a team (could be chosen by the host) with the same amount of lives as the teammate. I don't know about the PC version but on the xbox with friends joining and leaving it got really annoying having to stop a game we were sometimes halfway through in fear of the guy leaving.

it's a nice idea, but i don't think it would come in handy that often.

Yeah, also, a reset button would be neat, so you don't have to lobby when there are 4.

How would it not?  I hate waiting, and so I usually try to find games that are in the lobby.  A lot of other people are like me.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 implemented this compared to the first Vegas, it's a lot better now.

Yes absolutely, much easier to get into a game.  But, that doesn't make up for the fact that the game is hella boring now-for whatever reason.

I can see this being an option the Host can turn on or off. If someone joins, they instantly spawn on whatever team the host want him to be on, rather then going straight to Spectator mode.

Thumbs up

[Farley4Fan]

Quadruple thumbs up.  Is this something that the UE3 supports?  Or does that not matter?

[Tidenburg]

I assume its supported, seems like a pretty basic net feature to have.

Does not matter - I HAZ TEH POWA! The game is built completely from scratch, no old unreal things will be in it, so we programmers control whatever happens.

I do, by the way, hate that almost no one knows about the revenge/number of rounds option in CT, which could prevent having to return to lobby. Just set no. of rounds to 4 and turn revenge mode on, and all players get to be on the spy and merc team two times in one map, without moving back to the lobby. Worked for me, but perhaps it's bugged that no one uses it, I don't know.

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

It works, but noone uses it because they use to change their eq every round.

[Gawain]

no serious gamer would like to use that feature. you gotta select your eq, play with the full mission time, and choose ur mate / talk to him about eq/tactics/... . it could be a nice feature for dm mode though.

[Xris]

Lennard, would it be possible, for a restart map option?  Say you have 3 ppl fooling around, fourth joins and then u hit restart and play a real game.  Also for the whole eq thing, would it be possible to save eq prefs, per map, per side (spy/merc) if you wanted, and also a default eq set by player for maps that are not set. And lastly, what if we could change eq in game, but it only activated on the next round.  Also, the ability to switch maps with out lobby would be nice. (Map rotation list? like most larger MP games, set by host obviously)

[Gawain]

hey, the lobby will be so downright sexy designed by seefoo that i wanna see it once in a while ^^
