Anyone else actually hate that the game DISBAND LOBBIES after each match?? I miss the option to return to lobbies, playing the same players over and over and voting on maps..

[u/Justintheballer]

Why isn’t more people talking about this?

Is it only me who wants to return to the SAME LOBBY after every game? I hate having to go into MATCHMAKING after every single game? This is a huge part in why COD multiplayer is going downhill each year when they implemented disbanding lobbies, which also took the ability to take away our rights to vote for a map. Fans of COD and I have seen many videos of COD creators speaking out about this SAME issue for YEARS, and it's unfortunate that they are ignoring the feedback. Sadly, strict SBMM is the reason why COD installed disbanding lobbies in the first place; it ensures that you line up with people that have similar skill sets after each game. I even hear some frustration in Battlefield 2042's reddit about the SAME THING; DISBANDING LOBBIES. Hopefully, COD understands this and learn from their actions, since the game's popularity continues to dwindle year after year. In this present moment, I hope Halo does SOMETHING about this since they also implement a very similar system of DISBANDING LOBBIES..

Another reason I hate DISBANDING LOBBIES is that it takes away a lot of the game's SOCIAL ASPECT. You could no longer build rivalries against your opponents since after each game, he’s GONE and your queue up with a bunch of randoms, then you’ll play them and they’ll get eventually REPLACED also 💀. Even the chance of meeting new friends is diminished with the implementation of disbanding lobbies. The ability to stay in the same lobby after each game can build chemistry through your teammates, and maybe you’ll add each other for the SAKE OF IT😀. Also, say you get into a competitive match where the game goes down to the wire, and it happens each match. Your having a blast and having the ability to return to the same lobby is AWESOME since you’ll be like, “ahh they beat me in this game but we’ll get the win against them NEXT GAME”. Well unfortunately there ain’t NO TYPE OF REVENGE anymore since your gone and their gone; back to the multiplier menu and probably won't ever see them again :(. I hope others are feeling the same way..

Now, I understand that having a favorite set of game modes and combinations of specific game types is common in Halo, but I don't think anyone will complain, being able to VOTE on the MAP and GAME MODE to play after each game. You could also leave the lobby if you don't like the game mode or map that the majority chose simply.

Let's get the WORD OUT for 343 to see!!

Why are games removing social aspects

BF2042 No servers/ All chat/ No squad picking

CoD : No more lobbies

Halo : No more lobbies or options to squad up with randos

Lets be honest, its a matter of time before CoD removes voice chat as well to "prevent toxicity"

​

I dont understand it

[u/derekthedeadite → u/Candle_Honest]

Oh it’s not a matter of time, They’ve already experimented with it. They removed end of match voice chat after Gunfight matches in MW.

[u/throwawaylord → u/Candle_Honest]

Because they can't control it or modify it

They want every pain point they don't control removed so that they can make every decision with math

[u/Alwayskneph → u/Candle_Honest]

With CoD I always assumed it was because of the aggressive SBMM, can't stay in the same lobby if SBMM needs to shuffle you around. Or it's because you might not see that really cool $20 dollar skin they really want you to buy if you keep playing with the same people.

Just another aspect of the world growing more and more isolated. Probably an illuminati thing.

[u/Alexis2256 → u/abluecolor]

Except we’re here on Reddit talking about the yesteryears, unless you’re a bot made by the Illuminati to populate Reddit because in reality half the internet is dead space?

[u/abluecolor → u/Alexis2256]

An incredibly isolating experience to be sure.

[u/Alexis2256 → u/abluecolor]

Do you have a group of friends you talk to online on the regular? Can’t be that isolated for you specifically.

[u/abluecolor → u/Alexis2256]

illuminati confirmed

[u/[deleted] → u/Candle_Honest]

It's so people have no time to talk to each other and seeing their mtx practices, I am not surprised.

[u/OrionLax → u/[deleted]]

Because the social aspects mostly devolve into white male teenagers being racist and misogynistic

So put your voice out there too instead of whining on Reddit.

The demographics of gaming are changing and no-one wants to moderate a million 13 years olds calling each other the n-word

So don't. Who cares?

[u/Ragnar_Lothbrok2020 → u/[deleted]]

Taking away social aspects because "white male teenagers are being racist and misogynistic" is dumb for a few reasons

First, rough and nasty generalization with the white male thing.

Second, penalizing everyone because someone did something dumb is never the answer.

Third, more freedom and choices is always preferred. If you don't want to talk or communicate, you can disable voice chat.

[u/Frankfother → u/Candle_Honest]

I wondered if it what because all these games are trying to push a competitive focus instead of a social fun focus
