Why don't console MP games let you pick the map and mode you want to play?

You say otherwise. Yay for opinions.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with preferring one over the other.

There is something wrong with coming off like an elitist, or snob or know it all though.

It reminds me of music snobs (come on, we all know one). For example, I think Nickelback realized power ballads rake in the cash and has sucked ass ever since, but I've realized it's pointless to criticize someone for enjoying it. You can't help what you like.

[QUOTE="Brownesque"]Because they're a bunch of garbage that you shouldn't play. You should simply play on PC where you get to choose the map, ping, game type, and player count.Metalscarz

Or I can play what I want, on my PC or console. I can use matchmaking if I want, or I can read through lines and lines of nonsense until I find what I want. Then I can download the custom MP3 for the announcer. Then the game will start and the ****ing map will change anyway and I'll have to download stuff all over again. I'm using hyperbole to make a point of course.

I really prefer PC as a platform for pure performance, but every post I ever see you make makes me think you may be having an unnatural attraction to your PC.

Matchmaking is more streamlined and lets you experience the entire multiplayer suite with suitable opponents when implemented correctly. It is MUCH better then cherry picking game types / people for ranked matches.

Server lists let you fine tune your experience to your liking.

Games should offer both.

If one has to go I say goodbye server lists.

I'm the poster of the topic.

I think my problem is the lack of choice.

For example, I LOVE the shipment map in COD4. I bought COD4 and own the game and the map is part of the game. BUT, I cannot play shipment except for when it is randomly selected, which is very rare. It just pisses me off that there is no option where I can just select to play the shipment map.

I MEAN I LOVE THE DAMN AND OWN THE GAME AND THERE IS PROBABLY A SHIPMENT GAME GOING ON AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND YET I CANNOT SELECT TO PLAY IT.

I think COD2 had a filter option you could click on and in there, each map was listed with a checkbox beside it and you could just check off which maps you want to be included when you searh to join a game. You could deselect all maps except for one for example, or just keep all checked off except a couple that you don't like, etc. etc. Every game should absolutely have this option!

I hate matchmaking, its even more annoying when I get put when the same people, on the same map, playing the same game type, two games in a row.
