The way I see it, there's only two ways to make missioning viable with over 1200 players and not all of them being able to communicate. The 20 slot losers.txt file is now basically a waste of time, no offense, and despite its good intentions, the alert command can make truck sitting very, very easy.
The only two ways I can see of fixing the problem are to allow leaders to prescreen their mission companions or kick out unwanted ones. The prescreening method would involve some sort of list with a checkbox style system so the team leader could decide who should go and who should stay. The other method is pretty simple, as well. It would involve being able to access a list of those who have joined and remove unwanted elements. in either method, there should be a way to make a mission no longer joinable so that you don't get someone who came aboard in the last second before launching. As far as the Swamp game's realism, it would increase. It is completely reasonable to say that a team leader would have the discression to go out and trust their safety to whomever they would like, whether it's a friend or just a good fighter. And as one final comment, I would like to offer the suggestion that the "Last Man Standing" and "Sniper Proving Grounds" missions, and any similar missions, should be an exception to this methodology as the gain in reputation should not be lessened and the competition should not be shrunken simply because some person wants to exclude others. In any case, I do agree that something should be done. I hope that I and others do not seem pushy. It's just that the player base is so large and diverse that some control over missions should be allowed.
