So we have to use third party sources to find out we need to use third party sources to find groups?

That's ok, I didn't want to swallow that coffee anyway.

this is how it's always been described, declaring this as something new is silly. It was never a private queue, always a private match

You know the comedic timing of a quality spit-take is a lost art...

First and foremost it could be called poor reporting to contrsuct the title they way you did.. While not a lie it fall short of telling the whole story. A simple "for now" would have fixed that problem.

Now on to the issue it self... Seeing how most people complain about pre-made groups and their use of coms people will have to be on coms in order to be competitive and thus they need to either have a group already or be on one of the com-hubs. Thus the problem is solved for the moment. A simple way to compensate right now is that PGI promote the hubs a bit more instead of them dedicate time to develop a feature that would only be a benefit to a VERY small amount of people and at best be a QoL item. Sorry that is how i would see it if i was developing/managing the project (and yes i have three years of university in creative project management. So it is not like i speak from my behind) Especially as i would (like Russ pointed out) dedicate everything not needed for day to day to working on CW. It is way wya way more important then private matches lobbies right now... Sorry to say.

Or I could have said "Soon^TM" since we all know what that means around here.

The thing you and others are missing is that this was billed as the "Sorry you can't create a group over 4, because programming is hard, but we'll have the private match system with a lobby, and while you'll be unable to receive rewards in it, because exploiting, you WILL be able to play with your friends again"

So now its
You can build a group over 4 and less than 12, but...
1. You won't be rewarded for doing it
2. You'll likely need to use PTime to use it
3. You'll need 3rd party software to find a match

Lazy developer is lazy.

Lobbies are well known to be boring places where you wait for something to happen. MW:O is upholding this fine tradition.

Yeah, that's not a Lobby, in any sense of the term, that just describes setting parameters for a match, a "Lobby" is for...wait for it... finding a match, something that none of that does.

Unless you consider inviting someone to a match (the way you invite someone to your friends list) a "lobby" then you have even lower expectations than I had.

Nah, you're thinking of a queue. A lobby is simply where you organize groups for a match.

Guys, they can't even make an LFG lobby, anyone surprised by this tweet hasn't been paying attention.

It's probably for the better since they can't nerf it when it becomes OP.

[JudgeDeathCZ]

And WHAT?
I thought private matches will be basic tool for user created leagues bcuz....well it is PRIVATE!
It will be enough if we can invite enemy leader and give him rights to invite his players and thats all.
I rly do not need more.

[Ransack]

why is this not surprising.

as far as I my wallet is concerned...
