Yeah I've figured that out now, but still a pain in the arse to choose pred. Why the hell there is a limit of only 2 I'll never know.

As for the matchmaking side of things, it still should never take even a fraction of the time that it takes now. I mean it's the same system as CoD, Uncharted 2 and countless other games, and requires even less players to fill than those games, so even if it was shortened from 30 minutes to 5 minutes it would still be a ludicrously long wait.


I did finally get to play pred before. As I suspected, it was cool, though complicated, juggling all of his stuff and recloaking after each kill and everything. Only been able to succesfully use 1 of his other weapons though so far; the combistick, which while not the best weapon it certainly makes for the most impressive trophy kills if you have it equiped.

Haven't been able to actually use the plasmacaster or what I think was the smart disk yet. Can't seem to ever get them to lock on.

Still for all of my complaints/whining and the faults it's experiancing right now I've had some good fun so far. Just wish I could have had a go on the single player first so I could learn each species properly (and then have the option of just selecting whatever species I want in deathmatch). Playing with friends with mikes certainly helps the fun too, such as when both me and a friend both ended up pred and while he was dicking around trying to change weapon I leapt across a room and wristbladed him from behind. He was most annoyed.
