[Feature Request] Ability to kick and invite players in a public game as a host

HI,

Can you please add the ability to kick and invite players in a public game as a host?

Thank-you,

Shawn

Explanation please !!!!

Never played the game, but I imagine the host of the game is the one with the ability to kick players. That's how it usually works.

A question for the entire community.

Woops that's an embarrassing typo. Good thing I spelled it right in my PM.

Public is public regardless of if there's a host, imo. I think Rainbow six just needed a better matchmaking system, bad example.

[/quote] You still didn't answer my question. I said give me an example of a game where 'Public' Matches are host controlled (Peer to Peer) and the host as the ability to boot people, but not the ability to change game settings, so therefore people can play
in ways the host doesn't intend.

Gears of War 1 is an example of a lobby system, but the host cannot boot people.

Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 never had matchmaking, they used the lobby system where you find a lobby with settings you like. The host could change game options so is not what I'm refering to in my request for an example.

As far as I know, there is not a single game out there (at least that I've played) where there is matchmaking instead of a Server Browser and yet the host can still boot you. Typically Peer to Peer connections where there is a Host in control of the lobby and
you have to search for lobbys, the host can boot you. But in that same Peer to Peer lobby where a host is chosen, but matchmaking is used, the host cannot boot. So unless you can give me some game examples, I don't see where your question even applies to an
in-game scenario.

People can already be voted out of GO lobbies.

And bring about a ton of other ones there JMDF. True; the option to kick players out as the host SOUNDS like a good idea, but then you have "kicked player for playing music too loud/kicked player for killing me/kicked player for cursing, in other words,
now players have excuses to be total @$$holes to others for no reason (except the music one). Any player who is suspected of hacking, although that player's stats says otherwise, now you are giving players who are hosts the ability to kick legitimate gamers
for playing the game. My point is, good idea, but people will find a way to take advantage of it and to harass/grief others with it.

Only the host has kick ability.
