Big Team match setting?

(Mobius32) #1

Does anyone know how this is different from Standard? It has the same 8 vs 8 teams as every other mode (except compitition) and all the settings seem to be the same.

I guess that Big Team Match is 8vs8 human players, while Standard is 8vs8 with bots and humans.

So you want 16v16 then, yeaok that’ll work in the choke points wont it, you’ll all have to form an orderly que to get thru effectively. 8v8 is fine, leave it alone your not kill whoring here, its not cod

What are you talking about? He didnt say anything that 8v8 is too small and that he wants it to change, he is asking what the difference between the two modes are.

That’s what I thought too, but there were botswhen I tried it.

It’s wierd cause the option just showed up a day or two after the game came out, and as far as I know, without any info on it from SD

Maybe they uploaded it and are planning to edit it later?

My post was asking about the difference between Standard and the already existing Big Team options.

This is due the lag issues that exist on Xbox360 and PS3 when playing online. I believe that they hope that by cutting down the number of human players, the lag will go down. However, so far it doesnt really seem to work.

bollocks

Im grumpy and i hav’nt slept for nearly 24 hours, leave me alone…

There does seem to be significantly less lag without bots, but when I tried Big Team, there were still bots, making it pretty much an exact copy of Standard

Standard setting is 8v8 4 player and 4 bots to each team while big tem is 8v8 all players to both teams.

(BiigDaddyDellta) #11

it’s funny because they made the standard game type to help with the lag, but it seems to lag more when there are bots then when there is not. so I just play big team anyways. maybe it’s the bots lack of “I” never mind the “A” that’s slowing the game down lol.

Really? I remember playing Standard games with more players than bots.

I wonder if they’re ever going to have a “Custom” option?

The change is new as of yesterday’s patch.

The issue with custom options on consoles is the exponential number of combinations you could form from all the options and the matchmaking headaches that result.

On PC it’s easier because you just search for a server that has the options you want; if there isn’t one set up exactlly how you like it then you can find the closest thing to it.

Also, Large Game mode will still have bots if there aren’t enough human players, it just gives the option to have full human teams, it won’t necessarily always be that way.
