Well this is for AB in particular.

as we all know, sometimes one has to wait for longer than 15 minutes while waiting for an opposing team.

my suggestion is the following:

1.an extra "special quiz" chat tab where a server sided automated IRC type bot will do "Quiz" type questions, people who answer correctly would get gamer points.

2.simple "bejeweled" , "puzzle bobble" and "sudoku" type games (nothing fancy) which would pit the waiting players against each other.
Ive played flash versions of these and tbh i dont think that they would take that much resources.

again you would get gamer points for these.

number 2 i dont think would ever happen but that would be frankly amazing so i forward the idea anyways.

number 1 is easily done and would make the waiting SO much more bearable.

EDIT:

the gamer points would be attributed to the player retroactively, IE: after the match.

Maybe we should put mini mini minigames while you wait for the minigames to start.

idea has been suggested many times before and if you having to wait that long for ab, go do something else while you are waiting, make a cuppa or something.

Very impractical solution.

Instead of doing something like this, they should just eliminate horribly long wait times in AB.

I'll admit, I had fun playing Pong in the loading screens of the original Burnout for PS2, but this idea really just won't work, especially with rewards like Gamer Points.
