I personally like smaller servers–it’s easier to keep track of where everyone is. Servers that have 32 players on tend to be too chaotic for my taste.
How many people do you prefer to play with in ET?
16-23 without question
fewer players are boring and easy to win/lose
more players sometimes make for fun battles but are often just chaotic/no tactical play and my pc can’t handle the cpu load
I like around 26 ppl. Its a good number IMO, because theres a lot of people in the team to fill the various roles, but anything higher usually develops into massive spam-fests (seems to happen to me every time I play a server with more than 26 ppl anyway).
yes too many players is too chaotic not enough players can result in freak win or losses
On the current maps, smaller teams is the way to go. I would love to see some larger dual-objective custim maps (like RTCW MG was) where you could accomodate 50 players. As it is now, that’s just way too many.
In the SD maps, I feel like teams of 5v5 up to 8v8 work the best… maybe it’s just me, but I like it when you have work as a team to strategically conquer a given situation, rather than just relying on having so many guys that at least one makes it to the gold and back ;^)
i prefer 5-8 players on each side. This leaves opportunities to sneak to objectives open and requires more tactics
On the larger servers, it all turns into some fragfest. i dont really like that.
agree with you there… 7-8 players makes for a diverse team without too much quake-like madness going on.
Think 7v7 and up, but with 32 people your players will get instagibbed as if thrust through some kind of grisly food processor.
