Multiplayer Join-in-Progress Suggestion

[High potensy]

I don't know if it's just me but I pick my preferred character for a reaseon... it's who I prefer to be when I play. I don't like having to be Marcus or Drone for the duration of an entire match, and even when I'm on a conseccutive game streak, there will sometimes be a message that i joined in progress. If Epic can't fix the fact that I have to chug along as Marcus or Drone every time I join a game and sometimes just randomly, then I think they should fix it up to where your preferred character is back in action after a round in any of the game modes instead of the entire game.

This has been addressed in Rod's Q&A twice now.

The servers can't load 60+ character models every game. It's not going to change.

Innovative technologies in gamIng servers and interfaces work wonders. They can make it happen somehow someway if they focus their attentions to it.

Before making a post like this it helps to do some research. There is nothing to fix, it's a technical limitation in regards to memory.

And how do you propose they change the base mp file, that's designed around said memory limitationl? By the way- before you answer, they can't change or modify the games base mp file at this point, nor can it be patched. There are also memory limitations tied to the xbox as well.

Suggestion: play as Civilian Anya/Myrrah 70% of time your character will load because of the abundance of them

I hate this as well! 15 games in and BAM! Marcus! You are all telling me this is okay, and should be expected?

Yes, apparently it's expected.

[Ant Heuser]

That's why i play as Marcus and the Drone lol I always get my preferred character even when nobody is using them. Easy fix, look and see what character is the game and change to it before you spawn.

play rank instead problem solved

LOL people are really that bothered by this. Wow

Honestly after the first five seconds of match when I run out I don't give a hoot who I am. My sole aim is to find and curb stomp my enemy, not fret because I don't like Marcus / Drone lol.

Marcus is just too big for my tastes.

I don't mind being the Drone, it's one of the better Locust skins. Plus, it makes sense to have more than one on a team.

I don't like being Marcus, because it spoils the immersion when there is more than one Marcus Fenix on the COG team. It's the same reason I didn't play during Easter Weekend. The rabbit heads look ridiculous and spoil the atmosphere of the game. I wouldn't even care about the skins issue, if the default COG skin was the COG Gear, rather than Marcus.

[Maaaaaz]

Way too many character models to load.

[Masteralex09]

My current main is actually Default Marcus(Like seriously 3.0 he is)
He looks good with the a Team Distressed Gnasher.

Well if it can't be fixed then thats too bad this is the only aspect of the game that i wish could be fixed other than that i think its still a 15/10. it only bothers me because Marcus/Drone are big ass tankers in my opinion and I like playing as the "less hulky" characters because i feel i can maneuver better if your catchin my drift. BTW Im new to the forums, so be nice to little ol me

Never!!!

Skaarjs get demolished for breakfast

Welcome along man...I wish I shared your '15/10' enthusiasm at the moment

My main problem with joining in progress as marcus/drone is when you get lots of people on the other team join, and you have like 3-5 marcus's all running around in a pack. It's like a Scooby Doo cartoon where they're in the hallway of doors running in and out different doors. You think you have marcus at low hp and he ran through that door and to the right, so you go after him and theres a marcus infront of you, then one to the left.

Haha this made me laugh

Well, at least when playing "Versus", the character will change in the next match (like after 5-10 minutes tops?). Join in-session a Horde game, and you will be Marcus for the next 2 hours. We joined a friend's game, and it was 1 Alicia Valera and 4 as Marcus.

Maybe loading a character model is time consuming in the faster-paced versus games, but in "Horde"? I mean the character could be loaded after one wave or after a boss wave or after a character dies.

I remember one time I started horde as Tai, but I got Marcus instead! But then when the second wave started, I got Tai. Strange.

It's a minor inconvenience. But it's kind of silly when you hear the scream "REVIIIIIIIVE ME" and you have to check which one of your teammates is it!

next time this happens blow yourself up before wave 10 so its only $1500 to buy back in and when you buy back you'll have your char.
