Suggesting to devs

[peejers]

Anton,
Great game, I play on the PS3 with a group of friends, Old Age Playstationers (www.oaps.org). We were playing multiplayer online, but it is very hard to get a group of friends into the same room we had 8 people trying to get into a game at one point. By the time you get the invites accepted several other are already in the room. I would like to suggest some way to make rooms for groups to play in. Either passworded, or with friends slots reserved. Also we did come across people screaming on comms, some way to mute them would be nice.
This game would be one of our regular outings if the ability to get us all in one room could be added.

Is there any chance of co-op campaign mode coming to XBox 360 with at least 4 player co-op? Maybe increase the number of enemy planes to compensate.

On Bombing missions it would be great to have your friends as fighter support for the ones flying the bombers.

Will there be more planes coming to DLC? B17 Flying Fortress with multiple gun turrets would be awesome!! Even more awesome if your friends could fly in the same bomber and man the guns (but i guess that's asking too much?)

So far I'm loving the game, a friend and spent about 3 hours just flying around last night!! Great game chaps!!

(Sorry i already created a thread for this then saw this thread)

I will join the chorus of people asking for configurable controls. At the very least, it would really help to be able to swap the functions of the sticks.

On the 360 version, in Player (non-ranked) rooms, there is the option to reserve x number of slots as private (invite only). Does the PS3 not have this?

I don't recall seeing this on ps3 can anyone confirm? I don't remember seeing ranked or non ranked.

There are no options to change from ranked to non ranked rooms on the PS3 and we cant select private slots for your friends or have a fully passworded room which is a huge dissapointment for clan players like the one peejers mentioned, I hope this can be patched soon as if it isn't a large amount of used I L 2 PS3 games will end up on ebay, thus affecting sales of the new games in the stores.

The first few weeks of a game release sees everyone doing single player missions, After that multiplayer needs to be spot on or people soon get fed up with things like rooms crashing on start up, comms going off , No mute options for loud mouth kids and laggy games.

I think if you added the sound of the Merlin cutting out for a moment, (as no fuel is reaching it.) when the Hurricane and Spitfire does a roll would be cool.

Also, I think adding the affect of seeing smoke along the side of your plane, rather the tail end of your plane would be cool. Because while I'm in the cockpit, my vision is not screwed up with the sight of smoke pouring out of my engine.

That's what I thought because I looked and looked and couldn't find this option.

Please Anton try to get this patched if possible. If I want to host a match for me and two more people I will get someone I don't know into the room and I have no way of rejecting their entry, or saving the space for my friends.

I have read the that Xbox and ps3 are different within multiplayer.

No on the PS3 you can create rooms, no choice of ranked or unranked and no reserved slots - it would be great if we did have that

Rather than saying exactly the same as Peejers I thought I'd quote him. The quote above reflects exactly my experiences with the game so far.
Great offline, but the online is dogged by some missing functionality with reagrds to managing the room. If you can sort the room/lobby system out then the game would have so much more shelf life.

What Peejers didn't mention was the termination of a room after a game is completed. I personally often want to have another go with the same group of people (revenge if you like ) rather than going through what is quite a painful experience trying to get together with some friends to play what is at the core fantastic game.

With a little more focus on the online element this game would be a keeper.
