How about when you click on the join button to find someones game to join, right beside the name of the host it can say waiting for players like if it needs more players or right beside it, it says currently playing and it means that there playing or server off and that is when host turn there server off to other users.

i believe that if the host if full, it will automaticvally say. The game is closed or has already started. But that would seem like a good idea. But, what if the hoster is waiting for a certain person to join, and that person is taking a whiule, but the hoster doesn't wanna start without him/her. The stats would show that there's 1 spot left, and people will still join in hopes that they can play.

All in all, it's a good idea.

I think it would be a good idea because it will let us knowbefore we join a game.

What else they could do is add like a "Stealth" feature to this. So that, if you want, you can still have "game is full", although it isn't. or like a special "allow" feature, where you input the names of the person or people you want to join your host, and ONLY them can enter. :D

thats bad because it would be unfair to newcomers that need to learn that they cannot beat old players and VIPs. also it would take there chance to win new characters.:angry:

I think it should be done because it will aleryt fellow sfo player's if a game is in play or if the server off or somthing.

well.. basically, as soon as you start playing the game, it will no longer appear in the list of active multiplayer games...

unfortunately, that list of games is some 30-60 seconds behind, so a game may still appear on the list... when in reality you cannot join it (because it already started) ... :(

solution ?? none...

this is a typical problem that is experienced by most/all games, however, because SFO is so fast paced (ie: it has matches of 2 minutes or less) you notice it a lot more (and it becomes a lot more annoying, than say a Quake game... where a round/match can last 30 minutes)
