i personally like my idea better, it kind of adds to yours
so heres my idea, which i posted on a similar thread
maybe just add a new option in the menus?
you could put in "open to all" you must then designate a type of style your custom game is from a list, you must also specify the number of players and the amount of teams(for multi team matches).
styles would be
casual (zombies and stuff)
competitive slayer
competitive objective
MLG
Campaign? (player amount set from 2 to 4)
Firefight? (player amount set from 2 to 4)
now when someone searches they will choose a style and the game will match you with any game of that style (the same with the # of players)
now if you dislike the set-up you get just quit (no penalty) but the map maker/gametype maker can rate someone, if they rate a person bad, they are not going to have to play with the quitter/unsportsman again, but if they rate good they will still be able to play with the map/gametype maker (rating is optional)
with campaign and firefight you could choose the campaign or firefight "style" and the addition of a difficulty setting and a skulls on/off setting. the host will set up the map, difficulty, skulls, meta-game on/off. then change party to "open to all" and wait for players.
so basically it's just an addition to the Custom Game, Campaign, and Firefight menus (possibly forge menu too?)
so for host
[ ] designates campaign/firefight options
open custom game menu [or campaign or firefight]
choose map
choose gametype(flag, vip, slayer, etc) [difficulty, skulls, meta-game]
press open to all
*menu comes up*
choose style (casual, competitive objective, competitive slayer, MLG) [automatic for campaign]
choose player amount (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5, 6v6, 7v7, 8v8, free for all) [2, 3, 4]
press confirm
*wait for players*
or for non host
open custom games [or campaign or firefight]
choose search for custom game [choose search for campaign, or firefight]
*menu opens*
choose style (casual, competitive objective, competitive slayer, MLG) [set already]
choose player amount (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5, 6v6, 7v7, 8v8, free for all) [2, 3, 4]
Press confirm
*wait for game*
EDIT: if you want a certain map just host the game with that map, it works perfectly.
the more i think about it the more i like my idea
