If the host ends the game, it will return you to the game lobby, and someone new is made the host, but you should not be kicked out of the lobby all together, thats what they fixed.

I guess I'll get the update and play on COD4. It's been awhile since I touched this game, Team Fortress 2 takes all my time now.

Hood, We have to play on the same team together. Let me know when you play it, iight?

oh, im not exactly sure. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around, and making all of them equal. Could be wrong though very easily

Ok played 11 games and 2 of those games ended and lobby cleared because of host so they didnt fix that. One game was ended because of 7/8 had one bar. Still all 0Ks, 0Ds but still counted as a defeat -_-p So not sure what they tried to pull by saying they fixed the host problem but they didnt. Still getting thrown into the middle of matches where the top 3-4 guys already have 10+ kills. I think they rushed out the patch because of RV2 but its just my opinion. I dont think they touched the "host" issue.

Yes, I have not noticed any improvement to a host quitting a match. It wasn't annoying because my party would be kicked from the lobby, it was annoying because the game would end without dealing out my earned experience points, kills, etc., which still has not been addressed.

muting voice chat only works in game. You can't mute voice in the lobbby. Which Is kinda dumb cause most of the racist stuff gets spouted in the lobby.

I got kicked out of the game entirely when a host drops the connection, not back to the lobby. This happened every time a game was dropped.

Respawn was worse last night, half the time puts me facing the wall/something, back towards the action, several times on the enemy side.

Got thrown into a match that ended, no joke, within ~10sec and my team happened to be the losing 1, so I took a loss without firing a single shot.

On the spectator cam - how do you become a spectator?

the spawn patch would explain why I have seen and killed enemy who spawned right in front of me....and been killed the same way.
