I think that the custom tab is the wrong way to approach it. It would be much better to use a more traditional filter that allows all servers to be shown and then filtered by the player. Although, it is nice to see they are at least trying to make an effort.
I think the custom tab is a much more intuitive to new gamers approach than a filter system with lots of different elements. It brings a good one to one mapping for the user to see *normal* servers compared to *altered* servers, normal implying they're running how Valve thinks it's best balanced. For people coming into gaming, and I suspect there's a few that TF2 will attract, then this way of displaying the information is appropriate. That said, this really does hinder power-users. Offering an advanced server browser that skips the custom tab and offers a full range of filters on the Internet tab for them would be a good way to go, imo. -- With regards, Matthew Cheale +44 (0)56 000 36985 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================ This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
