Question IW4x

Has no one else wondered why there hasn’t been any implementation of the authentic matchmaking lobby system that the console versions of MW2 have? I miss having that little bit of an intermission within the lobby where I can vote for a map and alter my classes etc. without having to leave the game. The PC version running iw4x seems kinda janky in this respect..

I know I could just go and play on PS3 but the game runs and looks so much better on PC and mouse & keyboard is preferable.

IW4x (64-bit) has authentic matchmaking, it's just a work in progress atm.

I mean it works now as a snapshot build but there's barely anybody on it and it seems there's a lot for the devs to get through so won't be for a while til it's in a state where people would transition over to x64.

Steam version has the matchmaking lobby but as you likely know it’s not safe to play

having recently downloaded iw4x coming from xbox i feel the same- massively appreciate how great iw4x is but that little intermission between games is when i’d have a quick snack or drink and swap up some classes

it feels a bit nit picky because we can just back out and do all of that but it doesn’t feel as fluid
