Don't we all love Halo 2's matchmaking system? How much time have you wasted looking for a server so you and your 3-10 friends can all play? Wouldn't you love for someone to take all of your troubles away and design a universal matchmaking system? So would I. =(
How difficult would something like this be? Does anything like this already exist?
A good way to implement this would be to let everyone log in (like XFire). Then you and your friends get into a chat room of sorts. The host hits "game" --> "find server" and the client automatically looks for a server which:
1) everyone pings well to
2) has people playing
3) and most importantly, has enough space for everyone
You could add filters like map, mode and size also.
