Multiplayer definitely needs streamlining of some form

[tremanarch 6]

It usually takes 30 minutes - 1 hour till I find a stable, working, no Hacker, nice people, online game server till I can play.

I know that its beta, and I like that there are so many modded servers and so much different stuff. I know that Bohemia gives us the tools and we make what we can from it.

But sometimes, just sometimes from time to time, my inner me just wants to hop mindlessly onto some unspecial server doing a quick or not so quick little match - DM or COOP or CTI doesnt really matter that much - anything.

As I know that the game is only beta / alpha and that ArmA now usually is more about testing stuff etc - I must say that I had this kind of problems also in ArmA 2 - its not only a beta problem at all.

common Solutions are:

- join a clan / group and and play on their server.

- rent your own server

- dont play Multiplayer

- invent a rock solid super stable mechanism that lets me join any server loads up stuff it needs on the fly - super fast - does anything humanly possible so I just be able to join and play on a server (NASA & Alien technique needed) ;)

but what if Bohemia just sets up one or two little MP Server?

Or better gives some basic RoE - as with a basic MP mode, and servers that use these unmodded server missions can have a small icon in their name.

SO when I am feeling hungry for a little MP fight, I just search for these standardized servers in the browser?

I am usually the resilient type of guy and will continue playing - cause I love sandbox more, than I hate to invest so much time when sometimes I dont wanna. But your typical BF- COD player will leave the game for a long time or forever if he cant get this quick type of fix from it - even if the game has the most realistic setting, and open big world.

What I am gonna say is: why dont please the casual crowd a little bit and in order to meet them set up sth. above. Would be really great.

pls dont kill me verbally - I just want the game to be succesfull, and crossing historical borders here and there - thx.
