I've got two questions.
!st: How come the complete weapon set in the game was not used in any of the mutiplayer maps to it's fullest extent? I don't expect (nor want) to see every gun on every map, however, I was disappointed to not find the fuel rod cannon or any incendiary grenades on any of the maps, and there is only one flamethrower over the entire map list. The same can be said about equipment, there is no clocking device, auto turret, deployable cover, ect... on any of these maps. I know that balancing weapons, equipment, and power-ups is a major factor in creating a map, but was there not a way to balance any of these maps with any of the stuff listed?
2nd: I've seen the question asked about how come there is no matchmaking for custom games and I understand that the answer is that it would take away from the social and ranked games. But could there have at least been a search feature for custom games that allows you to searc for a game based on the games type a la Call of Duty or Gears of War style? I also have this very same question reguarding Forge as I was hoping to PLAY forge online but it seems the only way to do that is to find eight people that are willing to join a party and play, could a search option for forge games be possible so that anyone hosting a Forge game type that is open to the public could be found and joined? I know you guys are creative, is there not a way to include these types of search options with incurring little to no damage to matchmaking?
