Even in the SH Forum, sometimes you can read of people suggesting ways to enlarge the community of sub-simmers (that would have multiple obvious benefits for us).
I like to play BattleField 2 online quite regularly.
In the SH forum i made a parallelism between BF and Dangerous Waters in a not-so-serious attempt to get some of them try DW. (DW meant as Naval Field as comparison to the existing and very successfull Battle Field).
Going on with the comparison, i see this significant difference:
In BF2, if I want to play i follow this procedure:
1. Log in to a central server with username/pw
2. Choose one of the servers where BF2 is running
3. Double click and I am into the action
The procedure I have to follow if I want to play DW online:
1. Look for someone willing to play (Who?/How?/Where? ...)
2. Exchange the IP address and have someone put up a game room
3. Cross fingers and hope to have the same patch/mod and correct ports open and and and...
All this, prevents me from playing anymore and i bet
many others as well
It would be (IMO) an
enormous improvement to have a match-up system similar to BF2.
If feasable, I could see to put at disposal a machine (if necessary)
What do you think ???
