[Xbox]Richard Ham interview shows that SD does not understand the public/lobby issue

[Gamer2Gamers]

he was sort of stuttering on that question i think in the back of his head he was like “frig should of put damn lobbies in what an oversight!”

If that is the case noone I know has found a way to do it yet and I would be appreciative to know the process how, even though 8v8 isn’t playable for me right now due to the lag issues. You either start a private match and bring your friends in then play against bots or you create an open match, invite your friends in and hope there are enough slots for them or that other randoms don’t take up slots on your team before they do, as far as I know. Also, unrelated but I don’t see the point of the warmup if you are just locked in place anyway.

I’m hoping to get a play on the 360 version this weekend so I was taking this post from Badman reading through it again though I see he makes no mention of private so you’re probably right and I agree that is a little sucky to be against the clock. Maybe this is a quick fix they can put in.

this is what my thought on it was also except none of us could figure out a way turn a private match into a public one or change any setting for that matter

There is no way, this is our complaint. Thank you for posting, it helps highlight the issue.

Casual Gamers buy consoles so they don’t have to hassle with the stuff that PC gamers hassle with. It’s 2011, a lobby system is a standard for FPS games nowadays. Whoever made the decision to not put lobbies obviously didn’t get the memo. From my experience, console gamers have little patience, so when they can’t get into a game with their friends it becomes a major problem and the game automatically sucks because the lobby system isn’t like Call of Duty. For this reason, I cannot recommend this game to my friends because I can already hear them complaining. I played wolfenstein on the original xbox and this game is the closest to re-living that great gaming experience.

Slow down, it’s way worse than that. We managed to get all 8 of us in a game on the same team and our effort was rewarded with an unplayable lagfest.

I thought these types of launches were a thing of the past. How did this game go gold certified? Honestly.
