Title: Winning the war dumps you to desktop
Post by: chaser on October 14, 2012, 11:00:14 PM: My wish is that when the war is won and the terrain changes, it dumps you back to the lobby rather than crashing the game. Nothing major, just a simple little request.

Seems like the win deserves some sort of show.

I had my terminology mixed up a little.

Post by: MK-84 on October 15, 2012, 10:11:44 PM: I agree with the OP, the transition feels "unfinished". The result of this unfinished transition could leave many players in confusion as to what happened. Especially if you were AFK on climb out which is not uncommon. Sometimes things need to not be taken for granted, but literally spelled out. For example *"Your team won"! Click "here" to accept your perk bonuses.
In AW days that would not even be considered out of place, but that was a very long time ago and consumers expectations have changed. "taken for granted, or it doesnt matter, deal with it" as semp states may work for him, but it does not reflect (imo) the majority of the players. I doubt many understand how a war is won beyond the concept of take a lot of the enemies bases.
