Its been so long since game release and a few things still make me furious. One of the things that REALLY needs to be fixed is people being AFK and searching for a game. I am sick of people being afk making it a default loss because of reasons. I think there should be a time limit when searching with a countdown where if u are 3 mins AFK you should be removed from searching. Bye

With the current search times, due to low and divided player base, this would mean that nobody would ever find a game in 1v1 and 2v2. 1v1 is extremely insane with search times easily over toppling the 10 minute mark. For 2v2 you are looking at a 5 minute plus queue.

Your idea would mean no games ever again lol.

apparently you did not understand the idea! countdown starts when the mouse or kb have no input, and resets when there is an input

The game has features aimed to allow player waiting for the game while being idle. There are two I can think of. One is that when you minimize the game, the search and your loading progress are shown on the task bar. The other, is that the game produces loud, countinious sound of while searching, so you can hear if it found you a match from another room. Both of these cool features would be useless if we had to do a senseless input in game window just to continue searching.

Also, if such 'feature' was introduced into the game, I would be the first person to write myself a script producing random input in game window.

Well in any way there has to be a solution to people joining games and not move a single unit 10mins ingame

This just isn't feasible what you are suggesting with the game being in its current state. You basically have to do something else when searching for a game since it takes freaking ages to find one.

Any idea how to turn sound off? I want to listen to music while I browse the web but all i hear is the WHRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU sound of the radar

I am not rolling. And i do know that searching does take long. AFKers ruing games and thats a fact. Wait 8 mins to get a game and having to wait another 10 because someone was AFK the 1st time. Whats the point of finding a game that is not meant to be played

Well, you can go from game and still see once you get matched because coh2 icon will turn green slowly as match downloads.

And if I had to waste 10 minutes of waiting in game getting matched, then gg lelic game is over.

All 1v1 players do something productive while waiting for getting match.

They are the reason why I switched for 1v1 only.

I love 2v2 (even random) but I had to stop playing them casue of idlers, droppers etc.

I even don't mind if my teammate sucks, but idlers and droppers are worse.

Not to mentions how many 4v4 games they ruin.

it would not be a bad idea if there was a stronger audio cue once that you found a game.
currently its just a subtle change in the games music - something you can easly miss when your in the kitchen doing the dishes while waiting :)

This gave me an idea of some alarm inside bunkers whenever bombarding planes are coming.

Touche sir!
