Option to search random factions in automatch
Posts: 640
I think it would be cool to be able to search using any of the following options:
1. Search totally random (the automatcher tries to find you a match with any faction)
2. Search random allies (search a game as either USF or soviets)
3. Search random axis (search a game as either wehrmach or OKW)
4. Search random WFA factions (search a game as any of the WFA factions)
5. Search random vanilla factions (search a game with any of the vanilla factions)
What do you guys think, would it be too confusing for the new players?

Someone mentioned an idea somewhere else to just have a list of the factions and tick the ones you would like to play with. That would be the easiest and most flexible way.
Sounds good to me! I already voted on the poll to agree with the solution discussed in the first thread, but this is probably more user friendly.

I don't think that 4 and 5 would support the game because it would split the player base.

There is nothing 'nice' it should be in because it's essential feature, it baffles me why random search wasn't there on release of COH2, let alone after a year.
Ok so it doesn't baffle me that much, I got used to Relic finding crucial parts of multiplayer game unimportant
Simple check faction/s you want to play with, same as its done with 1v1, 2v2, etc game modes option Thats easiest and simplest option, can't be that many people who would get confused with little check box option.

- Play 2vs2, 3vs3 and 4vs4 with random people against random team only
- play 2vs2, 3vs3 and 4vs4 with your friends against enemy pre-team only ?
is this because the COH2 players are too low ?
Just asking cause I saw this system in COH1, not sure why they don't bring it to 2vs2.
Only took them 1 year for Public game room to get in COH2. Maybe another year for this feature ?

YES PLEASE
Want more players in automatch? Give them basic stuff like this. Some players love to random and will play every match this way. And if there is any chance at all that it might improve search times and give better options to the matchmaker, why in the world not do it?

Random everything, factions, bulletins, skins, commanders. Of course we need control, so tick what you want randomed, or even have two set commanders and one random one etc. I might be overthinking this, but it would be cool, like in DoW II with the random option randoming faction, hero and colour scheme.
RNG: The Game
not really that different from what we have.

Also it would be fun, I would use random if there would be possibility. Sometimes I just don't know what faction to pick and I toss coin or something.

The easy way would be to just decide randomly on a faction before search begins and not show it to the player until the match loads. This would not help with any faster matchmaking but it would work.
The other option is to calculate average rank from all your factions and find a player with comparable average rank then select a random faction on the opposite side than this player is using.
But so much time has passed since launch and Relic never implemented this so I got used to choosing the faction on my own
