Something that would improve the browser easily...

[jackal22]

add a new filter called min/max players where you can type in any number you want.

that way if you want a small server you can do say min 1 max 15 or if you want a medium say min 25 max 32 or if you want to go all out you could enter min 45 max 60 or whatever

This would really cut down on the amount of servers showing and you would only get the ones your interested in.


thoughts?

I like it, but I want the hardcore/softcore filter first.

Those and a folder that shows your history, so incase you forget the name of the server you want to bookmark you can go into the history folder and bookmark it.

[Keyelite]

yes, a history folder would be great

[imported_Whiskey]

History would be good to have in the browser, agreed...but for those who use XFire, be aware that it already does that for you - the "Recently Game Servers" heading on the "Servers" tab. You can then add it to your "Favorites" heading on XF.

+1. I hate joining a server just to find out its a hardcore one, especially if 'hardcore' isn't in the server name. Other than me wanting a hardcore/softcore filter, it sounds like a nice server filter.

Yea, filter hc/sc/os and that will cut it down a TON.

THEN, implement min/max settings, because that is a good idea too

Seconded

Unfortunately, although one can paste in to the console, one cannot paste in to the input box that it displays when you add an IP to the favourites. This is majorly annoying for people like me who can only remember half the IP address and port number at any one time and have to alt-tab back and forth like a nutcase :)

[Keyelite]

Yeah, the xfire history is indeed nice for games that do not have such a feature-- although I'm not in the habit of using xfire for my history. In fact, I just remembered it did that!

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying...

If you're talking only about XFire, you don't have to remember anything. Servers you've played on show up in your "Recent" heading. You only then have to right-click and select "Add to Favorites" to put them in the list.

Clicking on a server in your Recent or Favs list, will also display the IP/port information if that's what you remember, instead of the name.

Finally, if you know the IP of a server, you can also right-click on your Favs heading, select "Add custom IP" and add it that way.

[Vasquez]

Yeah, I know that xfire does it. I'm talking about when I want to add an IP to my favourites in COD4. I cannot paste the IP:port that Xfire has in to the box, I have to type it :)

[imported_Whiskey]

Ah, ok, I see what you mean. Yeah, little things like that can be annoying.

pen+paper, ftw.

That's so archaic!

[Sanjurjo]

And effective! :p
another "trick" i use is that i make a screenshot of the server. Ie, hit tab, then screen the results screen. The Ip is there, so it's easier to put it as your fav. Alt-tab, open the .jpg, then "add new favourite" and that's it. It comes in hand when i un-install the game. I have almost all my favs IPs screenshoted. :)
But agree, a SC/HC filter would be great, and a "history" server would be very wellcome, it came very in hand when i played BF2142.
