Team Password

by **Chuuuuck** on Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:27 pm

I think I suggested this before and never heard if anything came of it. Is it possible to get a Team 1 password when you create games. Often times I want to play triples or quads with friends that I have or Clan members and I really don't care who I play against but it is really hard for all of us to be online at the same time. I would like to create a game with a "Team 1 Password" and then be able to send a private message to my friends stating the game numbers and password for the games and not have to check my awaiting games list every 2 sec. to make sure random people didn't join my team which in turn forces me to drop the game. Thanks for any consideration.

This has been posted before, and I still totally agree with this idea. It's really tough setting up games with several people, especially if they are listed as invisible.

One way around this is to make a private game and once your team has joined
invite other players via PM or announce the game in callouts for others to join.

I understand that, but then you are only limiting the game to your friends (private messages) or to the people that only read callouts. I would like the game be open to the public because we are willing to play anyone. Plus if it is a completely private game then it is a huge pain in the side to go through and find players to play against you in all of your games if you create a bunch of them. A team password would just create a lot less hastle for a lot of people that like to play team games.

Been suggested several times, everyone wants it and thinks its a great idea, including myself.

I think we may have something coming soon that could help solve this issue...

Excellent. I did just notice others suggested making an option to have private games go casual. That would work too. Although I like the idea of Team passwords more. Because then you can put a game open to the public and it can start filling up but you know the spots on your team are safe.

This is not a good solution as soon as you want to play against random ppl. In this way, you always are bounded with a party of ppl. I am behind the idea for sure too.
