Multiplayer Enhancement Ideas

I think it would be really sweet if multiplayer was improved further.

1. Right now most games have passwords so we need a filter option
2. We need the ability to have a chat room box open when we click on the game and start a conversation with the people in the game without taking them out of the game. That way we can find out what the people are looking for party wise and if we want to join without interrupting, or forcing people to put passwords on their games.
3. Game spot detection would be awesome especially with an auto matching system

Anyway...

4. I think a general chat area would be pretty cool to have while in game to talk with other players that are just hanging around or about to go into a game.

    Agree with the general chat, perhaps with segregated rooms so you don't have dozens of people all trying to talk at once. It would facilitate communication amongst players, as well as make it much easier to find a match on a whim - it sucks trying to find a game when 95% of servers have a password! If the team at Overhaul were ever able to implement such a feature, I personally think it would greatly add to the matchmaking experience.

    I've seen lots of IRC clients written in QT that could be adapted and cross platform. I think it wouldn't be to bad to create something like this?

    More fields to describe the game in progress a bit more. RP only/languages/stat limitations etc...

    I agree
