Custom games / Inhouses when?

Title. We need them.

Apparently they were removed from the road-map.. and to be honest we do not have the player base for custom games. There are times of the day people are already waiting 5+ minutes for a match.. Imagine if 25% of the players were in their own lobbies.. we just don't have the numbers.

The player base for inhouses really has nothing to do with the number of players. If my group of 6-9 players doesn't have in houses or a way to queue together, we simply don't play this game. Thats the case for any larger group of hunt players. They aren't in queue for you because we aren't going to split up and play 3 /3 / 3, we just play siege or another game.
There's also no way to support a competitive community without inhouses. You won't have a tournament without people able to host a tournament.

This game is not a competitive e-sport-like game such as CSGO, Dota, etc. There are no tournaments at all.
Also the game is designed for duos. Trios is already pushing it and you can see how the game was not designed for teams of 3. Imagine a team of 9 vs the 3 remaining players on the map.

There is no tournament because it simply has zero capacity to host tournaments - it could definitely manage them if it was possible.

Either way, in houses and custom games for friends would be great. Taking my comment and breaking it down to 2v2v2v2 still strongly applies. Agreed it plays best as a duo.

I don't understand this type of post what custom game you you need, and why are you talking about yourself in plural ? "We need".

I would obviously want private games as a result of having a friend group. My friend group typically plays Siege as a group to do inhouses / private games. We all own this game, but seldom play it lately due to no custom games.

Obviously I'm speaking for the group that wants to play hunt but cannot due to too large of a friend group. Hence "we".

Would you rather me sit around and say "i need custom game lobbies to play by myself"? It doesn't make sense.

Custom game lobby in this instance would be a private lobby I can invite friends to and play the game against eachother. Currently there's no way to do that without queue sniping which isn't really a thing, just a gamble.

Custom games are the type where you get no money / XP rewards right ? Just play against each other for the fun of it.

Also naah, you could have just said you want custom games where you can play matches privately against your friends. Just calling something "custom games" explains nothing to people who don't play online game with lobbies like that, to me it sounded like customizable game modes against random people.

I am pretty sure there are more than 20 and probably more than a 1000 people that would be interested a mode like that .

Hell i would have no problem rounding up 11 more people to play private games against ,and i would enjoy it MUCH more than anything else the game offers .

It doesn't matter.. if 1k players wanted to play in custom lobbies that would reduce the total players in normal matches by 10%.. Crytek is NEVER going to do this unless we get a lot more numbers.. it's the same reason why there are no solo lobbies other than quickplay they can't have more game modes because people are already waiting long periods just to find games as it is in some cases.

Again… we aren’t 10% of players in queue. Many players like myself simply aren’t playing the game at all. We want to, but can’t. And therefor arent. Has nothing to do with primary match making which has never had an issue in any shooter ever. This weird aversion to player hosted lobbies is baffling considering the start of the genre thrived on these.

Many of my friends simply stop Playing because there's not enough PvP. Having custom lobbies would allow our group to play together.

Ty for your input I am glad there is more friend groups with our feeling as well :)
