Hell, I'd even let people pre-set points, gamemode and maps.Įven trying to find a non-ranked1v1's can be a nightmare in RD due to the ridiculous stat checking. Do this as a pre-sort they can configure and then they can just press 'Quick Match' and off they go. Let them pick a side they wanna go in as and what maximum number of players they're willing play with. Have a quick match button that allows for people to avoid the lobbies. Seriously, no one plays that crap because it's scary or whatever. IMO this would be more indicative of actual skill anyway since ranked is like 20 people. I barely played MP aside from like 5 games that dragged me into, but I had a high rank because I played the very well done campaign all the way through.

Just give everyone a rank based on play time if you need to stick an icon next to some names. And then there's an option for creating a custom match if you and the lads want to do a 3v3 on joke settings or whatever. I think I'd like use of a Matchmaker to be the standard, default way of finding a game. No bones about it, improving the process of finding and playing a game should absolutely, unambiguously be the #1 priority, but I'm concerned because as far as I know Eugen has never commented on or acknowledged the problem. And let me tell you right now - if the experience of finding a game is anything like it is in Red Dragon, this game will dry up and hemorrhage players just as quickly. Now there are pros and cons of both systems, but I come down strongly on the matchmaker side of the argument. For whatever reason, Eugen has decided (at least up until now?) that they should allow players to create the lobbies and organize the games they want to. Point in fact, Wargame: Red Dragon does have a matchmaker but it's only in ranked and very few people play ranked so it's a moot point. First off, don't say that Eugen doesn't use a matchmaker because of laziness - that's just patently not true, and needlessly offends them.
