AVF Online Matchmaker Gamertags

[durera]

Ever find yourself all alone at home, just wishing you had some friends? Well, a few folks here have created some gamertags that may just change your life. If you are interested in playing any of the following games on a regular basis add the gamertag to your friend's list, and expect the invites to flood in.

Remember to remove yourself from the tags if you've had enough of the game, the lists will only work if they're full of people active in the particular game concerned and ready to accept invites. If you want to speed up getting accepted onto the friends list, send a message over Live to the person who runs the tag (listed below) to let them know you've applied.

If you are just looking for some multiplayer gaming in general then get yourself on the-gamertag-that-started-it-all's Friend's List (only 2 spaces left).

Has anyone else created tags for other games? If you do create any new tags try to create them as "AVF gameName", that way all the AVF tags will sit next to one another all pretty in our Friend's Lists

[TG V1P3R]

Nice one durera, however I think its Codehead UK who started the GoW one

IIRC it is kavanf1 who started the COD4 one?? Could be wrong on that one though...

EDIT: Yeah, it was kavanf1: AVF COD4 Group

[greektony]

what about PGR4? I'd be up for that

[kavanf1]

Thanks Durera, good idea. The first COD friends list is now full - I had to set up a second one (click on my sig if interested), which still has about 80 spaces left on it. Get the FRs in!

[Munkey Boy]

I foresee a day when we have one of these going for all the big Live games, it works really well in my experience. Anyone is welcome to start one (you can do it at Xbox.com if you want - all you need is an email address you can use for the LiveID) so long as you keep accepting those invites...

(Hmmm, do we need a Frontlines one? 50 player servers can be hard to fill!)

[Brogan]

I would say Frontlines and GTA will most likely be needed.

I'm happy to set up a GTA one, if you want? I get the feeling it will be full before the game is released!

I think the problem wtih 2 tags for one game is that people are either on one tag or the other, with no access to one of the lists, I'd suggest it'd be a better idea to trim people that aren't playing the game online, and keep it to one tag per game.

Edit: I've added both for now anyway

Yeah, the initial plan was to set up a link between both - I thought that you could view friends of friends of friends, if you see what I mean. Unfortunately, it doesn't work, so we're stuck with two lists.

I'm not sure how to cut it down and be fair about it - I think everyone on the list still plays COD, but whether or not they take advantage of the list is a different story...

Anybody got suggestions on the best way to do a cull?

You could send a message to all "friends" on the gamertag asking them to reply if they still want to be on the list.
Any that don't respond within a time limit can be deleted.

I have a feeling though there would still be too many for 1 gamertag.

I'm happy to do a Frontlines one, seeing as I'm addicted to the demo & playing it pretty much around the clock at the moment it would come in handy, was thinking of doing one anyway so will get on it

[EDIT]Ok, AVF Frontlines(couldn't fit "group" or "clan" in the profile title) is now active, group discussion thread here http://www.avforums.com/forums/showt...61#post6459961 [End]

I'd suggest sending a message to all friends of the tag along the lines of "We've met the maximum capacity, if you are not actively using this matchaking gamertag please remove it from your friends' list so that others may join." I too thought we'd be able to see friend's of friends of friends, and saw the main Clan tag being a nice way to index all the seperate game tags, but unfortunately it didn't work that way

I think that's the fairest way. I've dropped out from the CoD4 tag seeing as I so rarely play anyway and will even less after the Frontlines release.

[oasismark]

I've created a Team Fortress 2 tag.

I know this game isn;t that popular, but it certainly enhances it when played with friends.

Add away if you like playing TF2.

Can this be added to the 1st post please.
