First of all, I like the new game, I like it a lot. Great update over the previous game, weapons that were previously useless like the Cluster Bomb are now actually worth using.

Few odd things that I've noticed though, that didn't seem to be present in the previous game.

1) The lack of being able to set private slots or choose to host in custom matches is a real pain. When I have 1 friend online and we want to play in a 4 player game, it's stupidly difficult to get him in the same game. Either the game fills up quickly and he can't get in, or the game tells him there isn't a space when there clearly is.

2) Really need the ability to kick people from public games

3) I was playing the other night and I set up a private game that was supposed to be a Fort match but the game changed it to a normal match. I did this a number of times and every time I got the same result. The game seems to not allow you to play anything but the basic settings in private matches from what I've seen.

Overall though I'm very happy with the game. Tons of content, for 800 points you're really getting a massive bargain. Just needs a few changes made to match making and a few more themes released for DLC and the game will be one of the best on the system me thinks.

P.S Snow Level Theme please! :)

This is a known bug; according to Luther (someone who works at Team17), the workaround is to manually re-create the scheme you want to play as a custom scheme and select that. I presume there will be a patch though.
