Specifically a 3-player minimum count or preferably an every-whole-number-between-2-and-16-inclusive minimum count (now that’s a lot of hyphens!).
Reason: I often play 2-player split-screen, and the game doesn’t allow two local players to start a minimum 2-player game in the Custom Game Browser/CGB (for good reason; you could cheat challenges if that were the case).
So we have to wait for 2 additional people to join our game before we can get out of pre-game (since the next closest “Min Players” setting is 4 players).
Why is this a problem?
Because it is understandably near impossible to find a player willing to sit in pre-game waiting for another player.
So I’m asking for more “Min Players” options (the options listed above). This would allow CGB sessions created by split-screen players to be able to begin as soon as one additional player joins, exactly as it is when creating a session alone.
Or, instead of adding more options to “Min Players,” the game could disallow players from completing challenges while the game’s player count = the number of local players. That way “Min Players” wouldn’t need more options and the game would only have to stop adjusting “Min Players” automatically. However, I bet this would be much harder to implement than just adding more options to “Min players.”
For anyone wondering why I didn’t post this before:
This wasn’t an actual issue until the latest major MCC update. When the CGB first released, you could start minimum-2-player games with 2 local players. Then it was changed to where you couldn’t do that anymore without using a glitch. Now that glitch is fixed. So we split-screen players have to wait for at least 2 additional players to start a game while single players only have to wait for 1 extra player. It’s just unfair in my opinion. And it gets worse if you have more than 2 local players. With 3 “locals,” you must wait for 3 more players to join; with 4, 4. I don’t know why you must wait for however-many-local-players-you-have additional players to join, especially when you’re creating a free-for-all or Infection game, but that’s how it is. It’s a bit frustrating. ):
