It has always been a pet peeve of mine to not be able to see what servers my friends are playing on when they play multiplayer games on the PC.  With tonight’s client release, you can now see what servers your friends are playing on and you’ll be able to launch the game and have it automatically connect to the same server by clicking on the “Join” button on your Friends List in the client.

We’re only getting started with this feature, and have enabled Easy Join for a number of the most popular multiplayer PC titles.  Here’s the list:

• Call of Duty (retail and steam)
• Call of Duty United Offensive (retail and steam)
• Call of Duty 2 (retail and steam)
• Call of Duty 4 (retail and steam)
• Counter Strike Source Counter Strike 1.6 (steam)
• Wolfenstein ET
• Halo
• Halo Custom Edition
• Team Fortress 2
• Unreal Tournament 2004
• Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
• Medal of Honor: Spearhead
• Medal of Honor: Breakthrough
• Quake 3
• Quake 4
• Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
• Battlefield 1942

For now, Easy Join is only for PC clients, and we’ll continue to add support for new games in the future.  As always, the client is automatically updated so you won’t have to do anything as we update this list.

The other feature we released this week is Forum Signatures.  You’ll be able to get an embed code that will work in most forums and emails.  Simply click the corner of your Raptr card (located at the top right corner of your own profile page) to get a list of embed options and select “Forum Signature”.

As you can see, the Forum Signature is a great way to show your friends what you play and when you’re playing. Like the Raptrcard, it gets updated automatically with your current status. For those of you who play it a little more low key, we also have a small version of the signature.

Check it out and let us know what you think!
