Load Times and Time In-between Matches

Nobody is suggesting that it's negotiable. We get it. it's 90 seconds. Ever gripe about the weather? Do you think that's negotiable? Of course it isn't. But we gripe about things that bug us. You seem to predicate your argument on the false notion
that we should only be able to gripe about things if they're "negotiable." I reject that notion on the grounds that it's logically false and inherently stupid. I also reject the notion that it TAKES 90 seconds to "set up everything." Maybe for a remedial
reader it does. But those of us who read at a junior high level or above, I think we have no issues with 60 seconds. If you want to dress up your character and put lipstick on it or read your stats for hours on end, leave the lobby. For those of us who
don't care about that silly time-wasting, we are able to get our stuff done quickly and we'd like to go ahead and start the next game please. Time is wasting and I'm ready to play.

Is it the end of the world? No. Nobody said it was. It was just a small gripe on a forum.

@Jay. you get it maybe, i bet the majority of the people commenting don't.

Asking for a ready up button if everything is done within the 90 secs seems a better campaign, than griping.

" But those of us who read at a junior high level."----Well I guess that answers that. Anyways, CoD has implemented an "Express" lobby before in some games that had really short breaks between games (I dunno the exact seconds) but it kinda catered to
this crowd. Maybe Respawn could do something like that, by adding an Express playlist in an update. Quick and easy?

It gives me enough time to go outside and smoke. Timer is just right.

The timer is little long at times, but I'm ok with it.

Personally, I think the timer in COD:Ghosts is way too short. There are so many options in Ghosts that I can never make the changes I want to my character in the time available between matches. The endless options in COD almost force you to exit the lobby
and take the time to configure your character outside of multiplayer.

In Titanfall - 60 seconds would probably be good, but 90 isn't horrible by any stretch. I spend time viewing challenges, changes burn cards, configuring load outs and then we're playing the next match.

I also play Forza 5 which takes about a minute on each side of a single player race to go through the pre/post-game menus. That game makes menus feel like forever - especially since there is nothing to view or configure in between races.

In comparison to other games - Titanfall feels just fine to me.

Yeah, there's more to life than playing games- true. However, during that small portion of my life where i actually AM playing a game, can I ask for shorter load times? Yeah, thanks.
