STW2 should have a foyer. I mean every RTS that i've gotten into had one which is a lot btw. It's like something standard to have for people to hang out at while they aren't playing or waiting for a match to finish etc..

They say the multiplayer is getting a lead role this time and for them to leave out a foyer for the game would seem just... screwed up.

If people don't like some of that chat that goes on.. well you shouldn't be connected to the foyer chat logging into the game only when you select to join a chat lobby.

The last RTS I played over a yr was World In Conflict and we used the lobby and being able to make other chat rooms with p/w for tournaments.

A foyer is a must I say. :)
