    So let's talk about map picking...

    I haven't played FC Arcade in a while, but did it used to be that 4 people could pick a map instead of just 2? Whether or not that changed, it's been difficult lately for me to get chosen as a map picker. I've also noticed that it seems like featured maps are often voted for over non-featured maps.

    It's also quite common to be playing the same map repeatedly. I've been playing a lot of Lavish and Green Valley recently. I may have brought this up once before on the forums, but I think there should be a way to restrict a map from being chosen temporarily after it has been recently played on the server.

    Does anybody else have any other thoughts they'd like to share? Anybody else experiencing the same problems that I am? Or maybe it's just me?

    I have a similar gripe, yet related to SP maps. With thousands of maps released on PC, somehow the "play another map" feature tends to present me with maps I played before. Often even those I played in the same session already.

    As for the multiplayer part, they did change things around in the public lobby. The current change is a first step towards an improved matchmaking/lobby experience; the team stated they're working on a lobby browser!

    Originally, it was 3 people selecting maps, with 1 map featured map randomly chosen by Ubisoft, and option to replay last map.

    Then they switched it so that nobody got to pick maps. I believe 3 of the maps were chosen at random from high-rated user maps, 1 map from featured list, and replay option.

    After the outcry over nobody being able to pick maps, they fixed it so that TWO people get to choose

    They need to patch in server browser and public hosting and picking our own maps. Other wise this game is pretty much done sad to say.

    Server browser and public hosting aswell as CTF/Domination should be next priority for the devs, once remaining content promised is completed. So no arguments there, almost everyone begs for this.
