I don't know if its just me, but has anyone else found that when they try to play online, they go into a 'room' of people, who are waiting for the game to start, but the host never 'ticks' his box, so the game never starts.
It doesn't happen every time, but its now too often to be a co-incidence.
Last night, I realised what the flashing cross means (if anyone hasn't worked it out, its the number of people who have voted to 'kick' him) and now know that I can 'kick' him.. But I don't enough people know this, to get the majority.
Do you think that tw*ts simply do this to annoy people? They just set themselves up as a host and leave it there, so that upto 15 other people join his game and never get to play?
Annoyingly, it seems that unless you have a headset, you can't hear the other people who are talking.. Where as other games, put 'chat' through the headset if its available, and then through the TV if its not, GTA doesn't seem to do this.. So unless everyone has a headset, you can't even talk to them to get them to 'kick' the host.
Is this simply another example of people just trying to annoy others, or is there another reason that I am missing?
