XBL: Parties, Lobbies, and Match Making

Lt R Sharpe · 24-09-2009, 03:33 PM

Questions about XBL MP:

1. In 4v4 will players be able to form a 4-player party, hit "Find Match" and be paired off against a random 4-player party? If yes, how does matchmaking work with respect to party size/experience level?

2. In 4v4 will players be able to create an 8-player lobby, divide into two teams, and then launch the match? (think GameBattles clan v clan match)

3. In 4-player co-op will players be able to search for a match and be teamed up with random strangers? Or must one invite 4 friends from one's FL?

These questions may sound strange since so many games now include parties and lobbies. But Section 8, a supposedly team-based game, includes neither parties nor lobbies! So, I'm taking nothing for granted here.

Yikes! That doesn't sound good.

If CM took the time to create a forum section dedicated to clans one would expect things like a lobby and party system.

On the other hand, Section 8 was released without a lobby system or party system and yet TGS created a clan portal. You just can't actually create a lobby and hold a clan match.

So, you just never know what a developer might do.
