I don't personally believe that removing kick abilities from hosts would be a good idea.. Because you get some players that join just to disrupt sessions and with no ability to remove them, you'd be posting here complaining about teamkillers and being unable to remove them.
I would recommend looking up the LFG section on the discord, add people from here and host your own.
Some players prefer mic only players so if you don't communicate via mic they'll kick you out.
Some only want certain nationalities to join, e.g they're German and can't understand English so obviously if they can't understand you they can't work with you so they'll kick you.
It IS their hosted session though so it's ultimately up to them if they want to allow players to join or not.
It may also be that the host is hosting simply to solo missions since there's no option to solo a mission without AI SWAT in the campaign or practice runs, Though they could just do a friends only lobby, I think they just pick whichever option is top of the list when hosting though.
All I can advise is you host your own missions, If using mods, turn checksum off in the game options which will allow others to connect whether they have the same mods or not, The game will kick them if it's a map or gameplay mod they don't have installed.
i have played for over 250 hours, with 90% of the time hosting public games - this is more than enough to for the following theory:
connection randomly drops in public lobbies, where players presume they were kicked, while the host sees a bunch of players join the game for 1-2 minute and leave
here is how a typical session looks for me - i host a game, choose a map, wait for 2-3 other players to join and press "ready".
usually i have a total of 4-5 players in 10-20 seconds - nice!
But! Only 3 out of 5 press "ready", so it starts the countdown. By the time the timer goes down to 0, there can be up to 5 players leaving/joining/leaving the session.
This does not make sense! Why would someone join the game, wait for 2 minutes of countdown, and then leave the game? It happens every single session. No exceptions! It takes 5+ minutes to start a game with 3+ players.
I believe, the connection drops for a player, but the host sees the player for some time - just standing somewhere. It takes time for the host to "register" disconnect, so it looks like someone wastes 1-2 minutes waiting and then leaves the game.
I hope it makes sense and that other players share their experience itt
Also, there must be an option to force-start the game as a host, without waiting for everyone to push "ready".
The obvious bug where it shows the wrong number of players, when someone leaves the game during a countdown. So one of the remaining players need to tap "ready", for the player-counter to update. Why it is not fixed? Its been there forever! We are not talking about some overhaul-level update here, its not rocket science!
i hosted 80%+ of my playtime and without any issues.
Why devs can't make servers without hosts? I mean, I'm playing Battlefield 2042 too and I click quick join and always join public servers with lots of players and obviously no one kicks out people and there's no power abuse by admins like in this game. If devs don't fix this crap, I guess I'll just completely stop playing this game and migrate to Battlefield 2042 which is a great game by the way and obviously you can play it without fearing that some je*k host will kick you out because you're not using mic or just because he can.
They probably could, but I don't think players would be happy. Official servers mean goodbye to MP mod support outside of clientside mods, since the in-game issue has issues and requires restarts (engine issue) to apply mods. It also does cost money, which is money that is going towards servers and not towards developers, especially if they do decide to continue to expand the team. You also lose control of the server, sure there could be a vote system, but that also has issues of groups being trolls and kicking people.
it highly depends when you play obviously, when you play around peak time, it takes 1min to fill up a lobby. you are trying to create problems where there are none.
even if i play very late, it takes a few minutes to find people. no patience or unlucky with timezone and region we dont know.
you have 80hrs in this game, you need to chill. its very sus that you have that issue every time.
i never been kicked from a game once and i never use my mic, but i use the chat and make callouts. either you are not telling the whole truth or maybe the problem is not the others. i can understand that some people are weird but this is not a regular experience.
I think you are making an excuse here. BF 2042 is a fast paced COD like game. RoN is a tactical game and when you don't want to use a mic then you are probably in the wrong genre anyway, which is okay, but you try to blame it on the game.
