A simple suggestion: i think there should be an option to completely turn off some players in a multiplayer game setup screen. Right now you can turn a bot off by moving his power slider to zero, but humans can still join and take his place.
I've that seen many times: the host just has to repeatedly kick players when he wants to play a 4-player game on an 8-player map etc.

This is a great idea and should be easy to implement. If programming the slider is a problem then a button to not accept any more incoming connections would suffice.

Did I push a button? lol. The goal is for it to be added to the approved suggestion list. But yes I think I can do this and if nobody comes up with something by the time I get done remodeling the house I'll give it a try. Haven't had time to even play Warzone in last 3 weeks.

Heh. Yeah, two of them! One is the "this should be easy" button. Famous last works.
The other is suggestions vs people to work on them. The 'approved features' list could stretch from here to Alpha Centauri, but without people actually doing the work, nothing ever happens - other than some vague hand-waving.
