Rework Matchmaking

It’s enough
Not only do we have to contend with garbage servers, but also matchmaking sabotaging any possibility for decent games

The overwhelming majority of the playerbase is split among a ridiculous amount of missions half full of bots, maybe it doesn’t matter on lower difficulties, but on high difficulties nothing screams waste of time more than loading 5 times in a row into losing missions where people decided they were good enough to do HISTG with two bots

Spoiler, they’re not

You need to change the following :

  • The 60 seconds countdown should only starts when there’s 4 players in the lobby, before that everyone is required to press ready for the countdown to start

  • Let people change operative when in lobby phase

  • Give better preview of loadouts for everyone, without relying on a modder to do your job

  • Before throwing players into in progress games, give a confirmation popup also featuring the composition of the current team

  • Give players the possibility to opt out of in progress missions altogether

I don’t think you guys realise how poor the experience is when trying to join games

Today i’ve spent a total of 2 hours watching loading screens because i couldn’t get to join a single mission that wasn’t either just bots, or lost already

YOU ARE DRIVING YOUR PLAYERBASE AWAY WITH SH*T DESIGNS

I agree with your points, but cursing at FS is just plain unnecessary and would advise against it if you want your suggestion to come across.
