game hosting

[condorz38]

I have noticed that a lot of people do not want to play one versus one which is a shame in a way. Most weapons unlocks are in CTA or Strike, this allows a player to continue with the game if the other player quits. As a host, I may sit in my lobby for 30 minutes waiting for one person to show up. The player that shows up quits as soon as you hit the start button. If you don't want to play one on one in CTA or strike, why not wait the 30 seconds it takes for the game to start and quit then. That way the host gets something for his long, fruitless wait and you lose nothing. If everyone did this, the unlocks would be a bit easier, and everyone benefits.

In my experience the game will end if you are the last remaining player. Games will, however, not end of there are 2 people on 1 team and none on the other. I could be wrong though... lol

Yeah, oceanx is always sitting in his server and I have to leave when he starts the game as soon as I join.

1v1 in realistic/arcade mode is pointless. Realistic mode should never have existed in the first place. It just decreases the player pool even more for little benefit.

If you want to unlock weapons, as I do, it is not pointless. I don't care if I win or lose, my objective is to destroy ground targets or planes to unlock the weapons. The exception is teambattle or dogfights with the FW190 F-8 where you must win 20 games. In strike or CTA, unlocks come whether you win or lose with the planes I am flying. If you join a 1 vs 1 match and both have mikes, you can find out what the other is doing and coordinate so both sides benefit. Since some of the unlocks are so unreal (destroy 50 ground targets in the P51D with no bombs) it is almost necessary to cooperate. 1 vs 1 is best for this, because no one will feel left out or fail to gain something.

Feel free to add me for some 1v1 unlock sessions. I was waiting for that patch to reduce the limits and so I could do it legitimately, but who knows when that will be? And the weapon unlock and 100 IL2 missions are the only trophies I need...

(Assuming you're on PS3 of course ;)... PSN same as username and sig)
