Multiplayer - list of opponent finders

Recommended Posts

I've gone months without a CMSF match and it's getting to me, so here's a list of the best places I know to go looking for a match:

XFIRE - http://www.xfire.com/communities/cmsf/

Download - http://www.xfire.com/download/now/

Current members: 32

Pros

* Easy to see who's online

* Easy to chat to said person and arrange a game

* No member limit on groups? (pretty sure there's no limit)

* Easy to change nickname to include country (US,GER,AFR etc)

Cons

STEAM - http://steamcommunity.com/groups/battlefrontgamers?

Download - http://cdn.steampowered.com/download/SteamInstall.msi

Current members: 30

Pros

* Easy to see who's online

* No member limit on groups? (also pretty sure there's no limit)

* Displays country on profile

Cons

* Cannot talk to people not in your friend's list - group chat is very rarely used.

Right now I'd say Xfire is the best option, but many members are not currently active - including the admin, so joining the group may take a little time. If more people joined the group chat in the Steam group it'd be a workaround to the "no friend - no talky" issue.

There is a lot of people online on Steam all the time, it's just that it doesn't automatically put everyone in the chat channel too. The chat channel is a bit quiet, which is a shame, but there's lots of people online to play with nevertheless. Find online people in the Steam group and ask them for a game. :D

Hello everyone. I don't really know where to put this but since XFire is being mentionned in this thread, I'll put it here.

I am trying to get Combat Mission Shock Force supported in XFire games list. I am a part of the Xfire GameMasters team so I wrote the code to add it but since I am the only one on the team who bought CMSF, I need some of you to test it and tell me if it works for you. The code is available here on Xfire forums. Please post feedback there so I can link to your posts. The more feedback I have, the quicker the game could be supported. ;)

I think it could be a first milestone to get other Combat Mission games supported. :)
