It takes 10 minutes of searching 'random' to finally find someone who isn't playing FBW. Instead of more weapons, characters or maps, the next thing that needs to be improved is the search function.

Either the Geth need to get grenades or ME3 MP needs improved search functions. This was the same issue with Dead Space 2's MP. No lists. Give me a list that shows me the map and the latency. This is 2012, why is this so hard to understand? 

*edit*
I'm talking about setting the maps to random, not random players

And i don't host b/c it takes longer to get a full game going than it does to surf around for 15 aggrivating minutes to find a near full game.

I got to agree. I do a search for silver-cerberus and get thrown into a platinum match that is already in progress.

On the contrary, I just had a few awesome games on FBWGG with randoms. The team started out camping, until I (Kroguard) charged out and started headbutting everything. Everyone else followed (not the headbutting part, but they started providing suppression for the ones out of cover).

It all depends on the team you play with. A good team will make any match fun.

p.s. Don't equip until you see lobby.

I hate playing on FBW as well, and it's even more infuriating when it shows up in U/U/G games.

I played one earlier, and it never fails the entire team ran to the back of the map to camp, and spam biotic/electric slash. I eventually got them to leave the camp spot though, by spawn killing everything before it had a chance to get to the back of the map. I guess they got bored just sitting there doing nothing.

I belive the OPs thing is that he does not want to play in FBW. I know I don't always want to play there. And even if you search for a specific map you still get FBW. I for one am tired of playing there. For me the objection is not playing with random players, it's wanting to play Random maps.

why don't you change maps before heading into the battle? i use Hydra map as starting area to change maps random.

The OP and I are saying that we set the initial search for random maps, but most everyone is playing FBW. And the MPs search function throws us into a FBW match.

And on more then one occasion I have set it for a specific map, ie dagger or goddes, and still get thrown into FBW.

edit - these days I just start my own lobby. makes it simple to get the map I want to play in.

I don't get it. Bioware has no qualms about spawning enemies a few feet behind your back on other maps (Jade for example)
Even on White if you stay near the ladder they will spawn downstairs a lot of the time. Plus White already has a spawn point behind the wall near the back entrance. Why not use it and deal with FBW? Sure people will move to Glacier or Giant then.

I'll take FBW over joining Gold/Plat lobbies and seeing 2 out of the 3 players using something like an Avenger 5 with a Stability and Melee mod.

^ This!  And you get a first class ticket/seat in the game too.  Instead of having some stupid host rage quit on a game, experiencing lag issues, etc.

In that 10 minutes you'd get a game going on your own terms, because there will be others looking for non-FBW too.

The map is okay. I like it. It's just that the gameplay there is mostly dull camping. When you attack the spawns though it's fun.

I rather have a list of checks.... Check what I want and more importantly, uncheck what I don't want

I wish hosting a game was the solution, Maybe it's just me, but it seems like more than half the time, it's impossible to get people to join your lobby.

This is why I hate playing when I don't have at least 2 friends to play with... That way if the guy doesn't belong in a plat game, ( I ran into an N7 2, but I'll just guess he got put in on all random...) we can kick them and wait for another, or even start alone. But we always set the map. We just change it each time so it won't get boring being on one all of the time, since random likes to put us in the worst maps... our worst, that is.

 If I'm playing on Gold or Platinum, I dont really have a problem with it. Not much else to do on platinum, considering you'll go down after about 3 seconds.

I have ADSL (6m down, 512k up) and I can host lag-free games.
