Very true, i think i read somewhere that it allowes for a great sense of achivement for lower level plays as they can be be in the "top 10" it really depends on how big this game is going to be. starcraft can get away with it because they have so many players
Automatch only (though for teamgames they better make sure the automatch system does work perfectly, if not clan/team should have a custom-ranked-game fallback).
As Ladder backbone one global Elo-value, but beeing visible on the frontside as different divisions. Top 10 Gold just sounds so much better than rank 45060.
In the lobby they should show the elo-points (and division ranking) though and maybe on the website an option to sort via elo-points instead of divisions.
Automatch only and no divisions. To be honest, I don't think C&C is big enough for that to even be relevant. I hope that it gets big enough where we can have that portion of the debate that would be awesome.
All depends on the amount of players there are going to be. If it's going to be a relatively small player base than the Starcraft style of ladder will be completely useless. The only way I see the Starcraft style of ladder succeeding is if there is just a fuck ton of people playing, which is really hard to say...
That is true. im surprised with the amount of people who have selected the "starCraft system" Tbh
Also its interesting to note that the majority of players want "Only Automatch" for ranked games As i said before it prevents dodging and "one map" whoring that some people in TW and KW love to do...
Well one does select different options based on what EA delivers.
If you have hope you assume: a) Automatch doesn't suck donkey balls again b) The whole online system isn't horrid -> a lot players are online --> automatch only + sc2 system
If you assume however: c) Automatch barely works, we need custom games to give the ladder any meaning (especially the teamladders) d) online system is broken again -> not many players online --> automatch + custom games + top to bottom ladder
In some EA-CnC games the automatch is so broken that it doesn't match you at all or doesn't match you under 5 minutes or doesn't match you with opponents of equal skill. At that point the ladder becomes a joke unless the good players can arrange matches themselves. Or if they can't they have to use external ladders without automated reports.
And as said above that point becomes more pronounced when talking about team games. I think concerns about EA beeing able or wanting to get a team automatch system right are unfortunately very valid.
Well, anyone that gets the purpose of gaming will be happy. Others will be content to follow a carrot on a stick for a few hours and then convince themselves the $60 was worth it.
I don't understand why so many vote for "automatch only". That sucks.
What about rematch etc?
...
The game could ask you whether you want a rematch after the game. If both players agree, then they would be able to play a regular Bo3, meaning your first ladder game + 1-2 extra ranked games, depending on who wins the second map.
I'm not sure which is worse, gamespy or bnet2.0 LOL. It's much easier to chat on the terrible gamespy servers, u can even have chat rooms! Bnet 2.0 you're floating out in space alone lol.
