    We need to be able to choose what team you want to be on before you join a match. Me and 5 others were owning and we wanted to have it 3v3 + randoms to even it out, but this isn't possible without breaking up our party into 2 smaller parties, than rejoin the party during the game.

    We should also be able to switch teams during games. My group had would split if there isn't enough players, usually only 1 person is on the other team and we'd like him to be able to come back if a spot opens on our team when teams are full.

    Time limit. Our group decided that Overtime get's a bit boring and too easy for both teams with the shields down, we'd rather keep playing like normal. We'd like to see a timelimit for matches, even if it just becomes "Normal Time" or "Infinite Time".

    Shorter wait time or manual start for the host when there's enough players.

    Able to change Blitz mode after a game without needing to make a new match.



    Possible more to come if I can remember what our group talked about.

    No offense, but being able to switch teams in the middle of a public match is not a great idea. That could and would be easily abused.

    Losing the game? Switch teams! Don't like your team composition? Switch teams! Just feel like being a ****? Switch teams!

    For private matches, I agree completely. I have not played any private matches and don't know how they work. But yes, for private matches, you should have that option. Or at least have the host select whether switching teams in the game is enabled or not.

    A force start would be nice, maybe limit it to 6 players minimum so it's a forced 3 on 3 until others late join, 2 on 2 might be a bit iffy with so much bot action going on and ground to cover.

    Having a longer match would also be nice, too many games end by going into overtime and spamming a downed moneyball, 30 minute match would be nice if possible.

    When I played Transformers: War for Cebertron multiplayer demo, it seemed like I couldn't switch teams during a match, and other people on the other team quit, so it was like 2 Vs 5. That isn't fair and I wanted to switch but couldn't. There's two sides to it, it's just how people abuse or use it.

    I don't know about Transformers but MNC allows players to join a game in progress which keeps games from going 2v6.

    Well of course people can join to even it back out, but it takes time and I'd rather help out the other team when they are being mauled.

    I dont know. I had a game where we were 3v5 and the someone joined and got dropped into the 5-man team. Needless to say it was not a great game.

    In summary, for Private matches, yes, there should be custom options so that your friends can play together however you want. For publich matches, no, there should be a standard that everyone knows how to follow.

    I do agree 1,000,000,000% that there should be Private match settings that let you select the map, duration, starting cash, if overtime happens, which team you are one, etc.
