Upcoming Battle.net 2.0 Features
What you may see out of Blizzard's new and improved online service.
by Jimmy Thang

September 3, 2008 - Diablo III community web site DIII.net has compiled a list of reportedly confirmed features that will appear in Blizzard's new and improved multiplayer service, Battle.net 2.0. The site pulled information out of the 2008 Leipzig Games Convention, official Blizzard web sites, and more. The list of features is posted below:

* Automatic/Anonymous Matchmaking Support

* Excellent Ping Support

* Avatar/Icons to represent yourself

* Achievements

* In-Game Voice Chat

* Hack-Free Security

* Clan Support

* Automated Tournaments

* Friends/Ignore Lists

* eSport Support

The main feature I hope to see is an "Accept/Deny" feature for friend requests.

I don't think there will be a random matchup system for the pvp in diablo 3 ^_^

* Hack-Free Security <----- really doubtful

The main feature I hope to see is an "Accept/Deny" feature for friend requests.

Piggybacking off of this, if accounts are created similarly and people have multiple accounts I hope we can create "meta-contacts" instead of 1 person taking up 2-3 slots on the list.

I don't think there will be a random matchup system for the pvp in diablo 3 ^_^

It wouldn't be that hard to impliment...just a couple dropdown menus with:
[Opponent's] class: X,XX,XXX,XXXX,XXXXX, Random
Level range: +/- x levels

Not sure how the game creation will go.

* Hack-Free Security <----- really doubtful

Only the hacks that were created for d2


I'm looking forward to the clan support

PvP in diablo 2 is a beast, i hope its a monster in diablo 3. Matchmaking would make it so sweet, somthing like halo 2-3 on xbox matchmaking would be ideal.
