So we all know and love the multiplayer menu that we have right now, it’s simple, effective and works the way intended.
Still, I’d like to give some ideas on how to improve it further, and the image below is what I have in mind:
It might look overwhelming, and if so, it can be used as some sort of advanced mode.
First, we gotta have a way of knowing exactly what we’re playing, so might as well put the mission name underneath the player’s name, and the ‘current wave’ somewhere else as seen in the picture above.
Next, make the password protected games visible, but have something like a lock icon next to them as an indicator that a password is needed to join.
As for full games, make them selectable, and when selected the ‘Join Mission’ button would change to ‘Join When Available’, so you can join as soon as another player leaves.
The list can sometimes get too long, and for that some filtering options might be necessary (Like hide password protected games, contact only games, full games, by ping, or even by mission type…).
Also, I think it might be necessary to be able to sort the list, so a sort button might be a good idea (List can be sorted by: Difficulty, duration, player count, ping…).
And why not add a search box as well? (Search for player names, mission names, wave names…)
- Implement this immediately
- It’s good, for an ‘Advanced Options’ menu
- Some of the ideas are good
- It’s bad, the current menu is perfect and shouldn’t be changed
