I'm just wondering why is that whenever I accept an invite to a player or ranked match, the game is never found? But, if it's a private match then, it works fine? This was with the same people.

Also, is there any plan to introduce private/reserved player slots?

Because players have joined, maxing out the ammount of players that can join.

It works fine because "private matches" are matches where you can invite your friends without unwanted people joining.

Private matches do that. Although there are some bugs with other schemes that aren't deathmatch that automatically revert to deathmatch, they will be fixing them in a soon to come title update.

That's what I figured. Hopefully, it won't remain that way.

The private match option is an inadequate substitute for private slots in a public game. To some extent I can understand it being unavailable for ranked games, as it could lead to unfair matches but, there is no need for player matches to have such restrictions.

It seems an odd choice for some of the functionality found in Worms over Xbox live which, itself needed improvements, has now taken some steps backward in this version?!

I dont think you understand what he means. What he wants is the ability to set up a game and reserve like 1 or 2 spots for your friends this leaves the other spots in the game availible for randomers to join. Something that cant be done right now :( but could be done in the first worms on xbla

That's exactly what I meant 121bryce12. Even having the option for CPUs in a private game would be nice. The only reason why I bought this game was because, I thought it would be great over live with a friend or two and other players to make up the numbers, it seems that it isn't at the moment. Is there no news about improvements in the live implementation?
