What if people prefaced their usernames with their location? For instance, a player named Bob_29 could become [Toronto]Bob_29. JohnnyConqueror could become [Atlanta]JohnnyConqueror. Wouldn't this make finding local players a lot easier? Because, really, right now it's only worth playing people locally, due to the terrible lag.

:D

Sounds good, but you cant change your screen name.

Or do you mean on game spy?

If you are going to play MP, it would be best to find partners here first, then all meet at game spy, so to speak.

I had to chage Grand Master Nick to GrandMasta Nick to to fit it in the box. I'd hate to think how much i'd have to edit my name if I had to insert Omaha. Besides just put it in your profile and everyone can see it.

I meant your username that you use in gamespy and the multiplayer lobby inside PTW.


I just thought it would make it much easier to pick players to play with. Myself, I've only been able to play with a reasonable lag rate with people from around my area. And I mean within 100km.
