Online games need to be joinable

I can't attest for games failing because of this. But I can tell you that if a team is losing and the whole team drops it can be really annoying for a match to turn into 8 vs 2. So I think it would be a really cool thing if they did make it possible to join matches. I doubt we'll see that in this game's life. But if it sells well enough then maybe in a sequel?

They should allow it at least in non-ranked games.
In 1946 server was changing the map every hour, we just had to select our homebase and we were set !

I think a lot of people don't care about ranking, after 18 we don't have time enough to have as many kills as adolescents who play more than 10 hours a day ^^

Open games is what makes that 1946 servers are still full 3 years after it came out.

If BoP doesn't change, I doubt people will keep interest.
I myself quit the game after two or three unsuccessful attempts to join a game.

I have yet to try online in BOP... maybe you justhad bad luck with who was hosting...

its like forza 2... you can't join a race once its started... the game didn't die because of this... but it does force you to team up with people that aren't juvinial and run if they can't win! ( reminds me of kids back in gradeschool crying and leaving with thier ball cause they sucked and got picked last )

I have a sweet connection, so once I get my flightstick you can bet on me hosting matches online... heck id host right now... if i could fly with the wonky controller layout that can't be changed!

don't quit the game just yet! you need to remember a lot of people haven't even got the game yet... I hear some places in Europe won't sell the game till the 15th!!! Also, not many know that someone has to actually host a server.... ( no dedicated servers, someone has to host. ) not just join a game.
