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.

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

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.

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.

Doesn't it support the party system? I haven't tried it but I'm sure I saw the option there.

There is a button set to take you to the party screen (back or start I think) and then you can "invite party to game".

I have long been an advocate of the Halo party system (the halo series did it way before cod4) and wish MS would stump up for the whole shebang as middleware for all their devkits.

my suggestions.

switch the freeview right stick to toggle not hold. its useless at the moment.

when you crash in multiplayer you should get minus 1 if you aircraft was not hit, otherwise the player with the most damage given to you should get the kill.

You should be able to crash land without exploding. Crash landing is a fun game in its own right especially when your plane is badly damaged.

Hi. So far I have only played the demo but I have one major suggestion for the Dev team. Please make the difficulty settings separate from the control settings!

I enjoy playing on Arcade mode because I don't have a joystick and rudder pedals. My problem is that I like a challenge and the difficulty on Arcade mode is a joke. Therefore I'm requesting that the options for difficulty and controls be separated.

I do not know if it is a bug, but when i was hosting rooms friday and saterday night, when ever i would respown in the 109F-4, 109E-3, Spitfire, the combat flaps would not work in sim, sorry if posted in wrong place.

I really wished this game would support TrackIR. This is the one feature I miss badly from the PC version. I'm willing to pay a little extra to have this feature.

This is a GREAT idea. I was thinking this myself. I also really enjoy arcade mode.

I know you can adjust the enemy skill level on training missions, but you can't on the Campaign or Single missions to my knowledge. You can only adjust the control difficulty (arcade, realistic, sim). Being able to adjust the difficulty of the enemy would be nice.

Also... it seems like it takes more hits to down the enemy aircraft on the Realistic and Sim, so being able to adjust this in arcade mode would be cool.
