5v5 is what the game is built around

(Dagasawr) #4

@FrostyVampire well only being able to have one engie adds a interesting dynamic that allows attackers to get their foot in on a strong defence or a defending team to delay the objective by long spawning the engie. so it make the game more tense and strategic

The game is balanced around 5v5 and feels a hell of a lot better. The only reason I played 6v6 was min 10 and it wasn’t as much as a clown fiesta as 7v7 or 8v8 servers.

(BerylRdm) #7

I may be weird, but I like 6v6 more than 5v5 or any other setup. Because I find 6v6 the most entertaining. 5v5 belongs to ranked, imo.

(Dagasawr) #8

@Beryl thats fair enough but ranked is usually dead when it comes to player so having a 5vs5 environment for new player to learn in would boost the player count

[quote=“twilightBreakfast;192795”][quote=“FrostyVampire;192774”]5v5 doesn’t seem to fit the style of the game. You need 2 medics and 1 engineer (or fire support on defense EV map) on each team, which leaves a place for only 2 other mercs and usually it’s a good idea to have 2 engies on defense to defuse the bomb so only 1 merc that is not a medic or engineer.
I think the main reason ranked is 5v5 is because they don’t want us to wait even longer than we already do to find a match but since there are way more people playing pubs it won’t be that big of a problem.
I prefer if they keep it 6v6 and when the game becomes popular also make ranked 6v6[/quote]

you are the reason this game sucks… [/quote]

dont insult him for giving a opinion that doesnt help anybody :confused:

@Daga ranked was actually getting shorter queue times until sd decided to close it down.

(K1X455) #11

5v5 is balanced well balanced for competitive gaming and tournament team play. 1 for each class

  • 1 objective specialist
  • 1 ammo support
  • 1 medic
  • 1 recon or sniper
  • 1 assault or tank class

Don’t forget that players can switch mercs.

Edit: A solution that I believe won’t affect the current number of servers is to conveft a few 6v6 into 5v5 + 2 spectators which will cater for tournaments, or the casual weekend brawl at the pubs. Anyway, it’s easy to add more servers as the population of players grow.

(KUST__LunarTM) #12

@K1X455 I though the setup was mainly Saw, Frag, Arty, engineer, second medic.

(BananaSlug) #13

5v5 with ff!

(RyePanda) #14

I really don’t care. :expressionless:

(doxjq) #15

I enjoy 5v5 more than anything and I’ve been asking for it in pub since day 1 haha. I really dislike 8v8, 7v7 is a last resort for me, and I’ll always pick 6v6 if there is a spot open in a 6v6 server, but I would rather 5v5 if it was there. Personally I just find games more balanced and less clustered when there is less people in the server, so I’m all for it.

(AlphaUT) #16

2 Medicas

First DPS=Fragger(might also have a thunder)

Sec DPS usually a fire support or might be sniper ( could also be a thunder)

Then One engineer play on both side if the map is only about the c4. However, if it is the map like chapel, once engineer is on defense side, he/she would switch to other combat mercs depending on what team wants and your preference

This is as far as I know how PUG works, and I think it is great.

(Eox) #17

5v5 servers would be enjoyable, though I don’t mind 6v6 servers. Especially since the game is build around 5v5.

(aminuseternal) #18

I love love to see some casual 5v5 servers, and I mean they are keeping some of the larger servers based on demand, so why not try the same with 5v5 servers?

(yesser) #19

i prefer a lot 6vs6 so team be like 2 medics (one for healing one for reving maybe aura + sparks) an eng a recon an airsupport and a tank/assault

(K1X455) #20

@KUST__LunarTM it doesn’t have to be that way all the time. I’m just saying the 5v5 can represent 5 different classes the game offers as it is most balanced.
