PC First impressions & Things to make this game great!

[Nomad23_UK]

So i bought the game today on Steam, played for a couple of hours and i have to say it's a good game and it really plays well. Obviously no game comes out without having problems like the ones experienced today, Fumigation Objectives not loading, thus turning the game into a team deathmatch as well as some crashes and some optimization issues but other than that, this game is worth your money, especially since DLC 1 will be free! But having said that, i feel there are some things missing that would really make this game great and hopefully, maybe some of these will be addressed:

1. Server Browser/Dedicated Servers for PC: The matchmaking isn't great at all, sometimes i had to wait over 10 minutes to get into a game. If i was fortunate to get into 1, the connection was either not so great for me or players would be lagging all over the place. As a PC Gamer, i've always liked to have my own server to play around with, have fun with friends and strangers and all on a good ping and also being able to pick what servers i'd like to play in!

2. Voices: When i'm waiting in a lobby for a match and people start to connect, there isn't any option to turn off other players voices. It gets quite annoying, especially when some hyper lunatic is in the match, smacked up to the **** on artificially coloured food products, screaming because he just pinned an enemy player's face to the wall with a ninja star. Great news for him, not my eardrums!

I think that's all that is really wrong with the game and what would make this game significantly better in my opinion. I already know the joining games in progress problem is being sorted so no point moaning about that. After a couple of patches, a lot of the games minor issues will have been addressed or tweaked too. I just hope that my two requests are met, as i believe they (especially the server browser and dedicated servers) will affect the longevity of the game on PC. This is a really good game, don't get me wrong, it would just be sad to see yet another great title run out of players!

PC does have dedicated servers and the prestated DLC pack will include mute functionalities for ingame lobbies. The match connection issues will likely smooth out when more players download the full game.

first impressions... matchmaking is a terrible way to connect to games... also showing peoples ping instead of relative green/red bars would be way more informative

the game is fun but would do a lot better if multiplayer was more user friendly

PC does have dedicated servers

If so, am i able to run one?? I normally hire servers for games i love to play, is there a possibility of doing that from a server rental company such as Gameservers.com or Multiplay.co.uk perhaps??

Also, what about the server browser?? Me and my friends would like to connect and play on low-ping servers more local to us. Can we expect anything like that??

Totally agree with you there mate!
