I know a lot of people did not like Black Ops...but one of the things I feel they did well was the fact they brought the "Wager Matches" to the public. I played very few public XBL games on BO...but did enjoy and play a lot of the Wager Matches games because I enjoyed the varying game types.
When MW3 started making all their announcements about custom game modes, I figured they would have a similar system as BO where you could search these types of games. I can't fathom why they didn't implement a way to where if you wanted to play infected or juggernaut, you could search the game type. I understand if you don't want these going towards your public rank or stats...but there should still be a way where if you wanted to play these games, you could easily search for them.
I know you can look here for people hosting these private matches, or spam friends/recent players into playing them...I just feel IW/Sledgehammer dropped the ball in terms of getting these game types to the public. I still have yet to play any of these game types. My XBL friends list is pretty slim (really only play online w/ real life friends), and don't feel I should have to message 40 people on my recent list to attempt to play a game type that should be easily accessed by all.
Thoughts/opinions? Is there been a stated reason by IW why this isn't implemented and I just missed it? Again, I like the idea of these custom games...I just really wish I could SEARCH for them when playing online by myself.
