About Objective Mode and the Server Browser...

[RectalTerror]

I not only like 8v8, I would prefer 16vs16 “fun servers”, even if the game wasn’t designed for that.
I loved those fun servers in Enemy Territory, back then no one would have joined a 6vs6 match, that would have been considered empty. 30vs30, zero respawn time, that was fun. Sure you kept dying from airstrikes, you you were respawning instantly.
Right now, this game is all about waiting, & waiting again. Pre-waiting before waiting again, and waiting, and waiting to respawn. Sure, respawn waiting was even longer back then in ET, but all this was later shortcut in custom & fun servers.

Waiting in ranked might be legit, if it’s supposedly “serious”, but waiting for a casual game that will be shit anyway, that sucks. A good, balanced match isn’t a matter of MM vs server browser, but just joining matches over & over until you find the right one. If you find the right one in the server browser, you’ll stay in it, and the few next matches will be good again. With the MM you can’t even keep playing with the same dudes if you enjoyed the match.

Where are the 8v8 servers? Why does it not fill up empty spaces(3v5 game was REAL fun)?

There is backfilling and it has worked every game for me bar one.
8v8…ewwwwww…

Backfilling is pretty terrible too. In the games I played, I’d say it has worked maybe twice, instantly. But whenever a leaving player wasn’t replaced in the next few seconds (80% of the time), he wasn’t replaced at all and the game was ending 5v6, 4v6… This is what I noticed from my experience, I have no clue if that’s actually how it works (I guess not).

Well, I get put on UK servers all the time, although I am from Hungary. If you guessed, that’s more than 120 ping, you were right. So not only do I have to wit for a just as unbalanced 6v6 match as before, I also have 3 times the latency to the server.

Yeah, the CMM UI seems kinda weird. The text colours are so small and dark that you can barely read individual stats after the game ends.

Not to mention stuff like this.

Best rhino? Wtf. I’m not even going to mention the “skyhammer xp”…
Why not list actual stats instead of XP. Number of revives, mercs killed, number of finishes, etc. “Finish XP” hardly helps anyone.

You do know there is a second page to the end game report that shows all the stats, right? You can also get the same full review as for Ranked in your Profile > Recent Games.

These are supposed to be the highlighted mercs, the 5 most important players in the match. Sure you can see the stats on the next page, but why highlight useless information on something like this.
“Best skyhammer, 268 xp! Wow! LOOK AT THIS SCORE!”
I guess I misread the end of your previous post, sorry.

I totally agree that these highlights need to be more meaningful. I assume a single player can only appear once, but I can’t believe no one else in that match had a more significant contribution than scoring 268 XP as Skyhammer (which I assume is what “268 Skyhammer XP” means? otherwise it’s really not intuitive…). On the other hand there is an obvious bug with the “most ammo given” awards reporting things like “111.056 ammo given” (yes, that’s a decimal point, meaning fractions of ammo…), so perhaps the merc-specific XP thing is not right either.

Also, it didn’t happen in the picture you put up, but I’ve had many instance of “Best merc X” award showing merc Y underneath. I’m guessing the last merc you played is being displayed, or the one you played the most, but logically it should be the one in your lineup that contributed the most to that specific award. If I get 12 revives as a medic in the first 5 minutes of a match then switch to an engi for the rest, the “Most revives” award should show the medic in my lineup, not the engi…

I really hope they return 8vs8 obj servers to eu its the only thing i enjoy in dirty bomb. Luckely i seem to get decent ping on the moscow servers so i emigrated there until they stop forcing cmm down eu players throat.
