(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just found a neat (but useless?) trick where you can basically "pause" a lobby (Not in-game)

This only works with online matches. (Lobbies/matches with countdowns, intermission 15...14...etc)

As you know, after a game it returns to the menu (match lobby)
then there's the countdown (Intermission 30...29...28...etc)
This trick forces it to never start the match and people will get annoyed and maybe leave.

How to do this trick:

First of you need to be in a Elite Group/Clan
Go to your Callsigns menu.
Wait for the countdown to be like at 5 (The Intermission Countdown, not the count down to when the games starts...)

Once the "intermission" countdown is like at 5 press the "Use Elite Clantag" Button (or whatever its called)

A confirmation thing will pop-up, (do you want to use your elite clan-tag?)

Press yes, press on the elite clan-tag button again, press no, press on the elite clan-tag button again, press yes (Keep doing this)
(That trick also makes your clan-tag "blink", pretty cool)

Do that pretty quick + keep doing it over and over and the lobby wont start and it will just keep saying "Waiting..."

If you stop doing the trick it will say "Finding Host" or something like that and then the game countdown.

Useless? Yeah but look what I did with it:

What this can be used for:

I kept doing this and forcing the game to stay at "Waiting..." then I said using my mic: "Vote for outpost or else I wont start the game"
One of my friends kept and eye on the maps to see if they voted, the map votes went from fallen to outpost.

I lol'd, pretty useless but also a neat trick.

Haha very true.
Most people do leave. I was kinda setting an example on what to do with this useless trick.

I guess this is a good way to clear the lobby then, lol...

I can just imagine, it will probably be patched soon like the "select + x" trick, it kinda did the same thing but changed the maps after a couple of times by it self.

I'm still trying to find some more menu type tricks.
