"Join Game" timeout is too short

  When I want to join a multi, it's usually alt shot, it searches for maybe 10 seconds and then I have to "Search again". For alt shots, I might have to click that option maybe 5 times.

  Since there is a 'Cancel' button, why not let the search go on until it finds a game within my parameters  or I press cancel? Then I can do other things than stare at the screen when games are few. Bump the timeout up to a minute at least.

  Great suggestion!

  Additionally I wish the time out would be eliminated for AS game invites...just let it roll forever until players say "we'll catch ya later".

  Pertains to me cause I generally just play with friends, or invite by suggestion of friends.

  I have a better idea, how about not time out and find three players. The problem I see is loading players. Especially the last player. It takes about 15 seconds to find the first two players but the last player takes too long to find!! People are impatient and want to play right now and because the last player, 90% of the time, isn't found and placed into the game, you start losing players and eventually the game is canceled. This has happened to me countless times and is getting very old!! This is the only game that I play that has this problem. It's been this way since day one.........It's time to fix this already!!!
