Your preferred game/room size?

Harry84 · 06-03-2009, 8:49 PM

So what size room's do you lot enjoy playing in?

Do you enjoy the crazy, totally chaotic, cluster

action of 32 player rooms? The slower more tactical games played in a 16 or less room, or do you enjoy sizes in between?

Me personally, i played a few 32 player games and didn't really enjoy them, as I felt you didn't have any room to 'breathe' as it were, you'd spawn then within 2 seconds someone was shooting you or a grenade was at your feet or...well you catch my drift. I can understand why people may enjoy these size rooms as there fairly intense, and get your straight into the action, but its not for me personally

My preferred number of players is between 20 - 24, enough for there to be chaos sometimes, but not all the time, as well as some tactical play to unfold.

Depends on the map. 32 players on the small maps is crazy!

I like the smaller rooms between 8 and 20 is nice allthough 2 v 2 can be great fun...

8 v 8 or 12 v 12 on the bigger maps is great. Anything more is just too chaotic for me i.e. spend most of my time respawning on 16 v 16

It gives a bad first impression of the game having 32 players on the small maps. It's sad that they're the most common matches to find too. I would of preferred they didn't set the option at all, its no fun and just a way for people to get points the quickest way.

5v5, no scouts, no saboteurs, no rockets. That's what I go for when setting up my own room.

I host 16 player matches, the number works well I find.

32 is too big on most of the maps.

It turns into one big re-spawning session especially with friendly fire on.

Benchy and Chowyunfatt always seem to be completing on who can get the most team kills. Everything I look at my friend rankings they switch places out doing each other.

Agreed. ****ing frag fest!!!

16 max for me and I've had a real blast with 4*4 also on the smaller maps.

Personally, I've always felt that above 16 is always a number counting exercise for the fan**** to throw around at "other" games.

Given a quality game, quality maps and quality opposition, smaller is better IMHO.

12 can be a bit small, 32 is definitely too much for many maps - it can give you that feeling of being in a warzone though - so for me 16 or 20 seems best. Big enough to fill out the maps and allow some team tactics, but not too big.

Depends on the map.

Tharsus Refinery for instance should be tiny. Salamun Market is good with 32 however.

having about 20 works for all stages roughly.

32 player games are just chaos. By the time a couple of bots are in place, and the other team think the game mode is rockets, it's just out of control. On some of the maps the bullets/grenades are already on you when you spawn.

Personally i find 10v10 just about right, still gets a little choked from time to time, but bearable.

Friendly fire on. Prevents rocket and grenade abuse. I.E people firing rockets at their feet in close battles.

I agree that friendly fire on makes for a better game. But just to note that Rockets fired at you feet will result in a suicide even with friendly fire off. It's killing team mates that the friendly fire setting affects, not yourself

Yeah its tricky but it feels more balanced with friendly fire. Lessen the explosives abuse! Plus i am used to it thanks to loads of games.

10v10 is good.

TeggDon · 27-03-2009, 12:04 PM

Been playing clan matches and as a result found some good settings.

In 5v5 you can do a search and destroy game but disable all the explosives and some abilties. Makes it much more slower and forced strategicaly.

Alternatively you can do an explosives only game for Assasination and speaker delivery. Which is fun actually.

Hopefully GG add more info on the server thing sooner.
