Remove lobby?

The lobby system, while a cool idea in theory, isn't working in the way I hoped it would, mostly because you can't tell when people are leaving the game, or going into a different game mode, and you never really know how many people are actually in the game.

I can't update the room lists once you enter the lobby due to network architecture limits, but I can create a Join game menu once play is pressed with real-time updated player counts, just not interactive with other players (thing normal join game lists for other games).

So I am thinking of replacing the interactive lobby with a standard game selection screen, but one with real-time player counts so you can immediately see how many people are in which game modes. However, if people like the lobby room, I don't want to remove it. (I would just use the Sprawl map for another game-mode or as another Hunt map). Let me know what you think!


EDIT: After an overwhelming majority decision that the lobby needs to change, I've changed that level to a Playground, and created a simple real-time updated level selection screen.



It's very basic at the moment, and I'll pretty it up soon.

Also, I figured everyone else gets at least one thing to WHERe.. so... KotH WHERe?

The lobby is an alright idea, but at least as it is now it doesn't do much (IMO).

undecided.
