cross-district matchmaking and phasing to mission sounds like great idea !
Mostly cuz we gonna have that awesome "Back to the Future" feeling especially if we phase to new instance whit Vegas
90% already wrecked while nitro is on, smashing instantly into some gas station where are enemy's have spawned :)
Ok now obviously more pool of players to draw from means a lot more fun for me cuz i don't need to constantly play
against same Bulgarian kid ( which name i wont speak of :P ) while his on opposite side , gets old and boring very fast, so definitely a great idea.
Another good thing potentially ( if you limit mission instances to lets say 30 players in total , so 15 crims 15 enfos in mission instances )
it can help a lot whit performance issues ( especially for us that have old hardware and unstable fps cosed whit forced upload download
assets from and to other players around us, then reloading that in district during missions ) ,
cuz now and for the last couple of years , only ppl whit high end pc's have enjoyed the game fully whit stable fps and good performance (above 80fps during matches)
compared to 40-55 fps during matches on minimal settings on older pc's.
