I enjoy the multiplayer more than I thought I would, and despite its flaws, I can definitely see myself falling into a niche group for awhile to come, much like I've done with Resident Evil 5's Versus.
But if I'm going to be enjoying this mode properly, we need to be able to see and choose from available lobbies. Not just quick match. I want to see a list of lobbies currently open, with connection pings, current map/difficulty, number of people, name of the host (for finding friends), and preferably even a little message indicating intent (like, "Just for fun" or "Leveling up", something to that degree).
As it stands, if I want to play with one friend, I need to open a match and invite him and just hope someone comes in. For whatever reason, they never, ever do. So instead, I need to keep hitting quick match until I find a lobby with me and two other people only, then invite him. It's ridiculous. Plus the quality of people I'm with (and the connection) is completely random and out of my control. So I'm popping in and out of lobbies over and over, likely ruining other people's games because they had four and now I left.
I'm really hoping that we only have "Quick Match" as an option now because it's a demo. Simply picking specifics and then letting something else pick a match for you isn't going to cut it.
Please, confirm that we'll be able to choose our lobbies in retail.

Bump for an obviously needed feature.

That's a rare sight for console games, but I feel that it is needed greatly.

I agree completely. That is a very needed feature as well. I have to say that I have done the same thing with jumping in and out of games so that I could find one with room to invite a friend as well.

This is my second most desired feature after being able to tweak the various camera settings - it's just ridiculous that unless we're playing with friends everything has to be random and you end up in rooms where the leader has a crappy ping. :\\
