Searching Custom Games
Customgames searching would work basically the same as matchmaking. First you would choose a gametype for your playlist. Then you could select a sub-branch gametype like Slayer: Elimination or CTF: One Flag. You could also type in a search bar the specific name of the sub-branch gametype if it is a edited game type like Infection: Fat Kid. When your search is complete a list of hosts will come up and you can choose which host to play with. You can change how many search results per page from 15 to down to 10 or up to 30. There will be a number of the total customgames population, and numbers showing how many are hosting and how many are searching.
Rating & Favorating Hosts
After playing with a host for a certain number of rounds you can rate that host on a scale of 1 to 5 stars based on how much you like that host and his games. The top 10 rated hosts will appear on the right side of the search results pages. When you rate a host they will be rated for that gametype so you can rate hosts for different gametypes each time, but they will be rated for the major gametype. So you can't rate a host differently for sub-gametypes like Infection: Fat Kid and Infection: 4 Levels. They have to be completely different like Slayer and CTF. After a week in real time has past all hosts ratings will disappear and they will start with zero ratings again. You can also favorate up to 20 different hosts, and remove them at anytime you wish.
