why doesnt TF2 support more players?

neocon · 27 Jun 2008 at 15:50

I dont see any 40+ man servers. Any idae why TF2 don't support this many players?

smithy83 · 27 Jun 2008 at 15:54

maps are to small it turns into a mess at 32 players

Boscher · 27 Jun 2008 at 16:04

Because it turns into a noob spamfest..

I think anything over about 16 is bad. Mass sentries and stickies, ughhh

FeFiDoh · 27 Jun 2008 at 16:08

more players are not more fun infact its usually a lot worse

end of.

neocon · 27 Jun 2008 at 16:10

i like 32 player servers

didnt it support 40 players in beta

uv · 27 Jun 2008 at 16:11

because the T stands for Team.

neocon · 27 Jun 2008 at 16:13

cod4 is a noob fest at 64 players but you can still do it

but with tf2 they dont giv you the option?

oh noes. I cry at night because Valve won't let me play a Team based game in a server full of spammy n00bs!

The game would go seriously downhill in 64 player servers. You may as well make them instaspawn.

You play spy? Good luck surviving against 32 pyros!

neocon · 27 Jun 2008 at 16:21

most 32 player servers iv been on limit the umber of pyros to 4.

8 classes and limit each to 4 players

I actually prefer 16 player servers, makes it more personal when you Dominate somebody...often doesnt actually mean domination on 24+ player servers.

Also, true Domination should result in a ragequit.

Big servers are no-skill spamfests. The maps aren't designed for over 24 players, and even for some that can be too much. Having fewer players means more teamwork, co-ordination and strategy is involved, and less spam-explosives-into-the-nearest-corridor-hoping-to-kill-something.

Indeed, the very max i really like in tf2 is a 20 player server, matches are 6v6 and thats very good for competitive style play.

neocon · 27 Jun 2008 at 17:31

oh come on.. Goldrush 32 player is soo much fun

it may be a spamfest but nothing compared to cod4 spamfest

MTA99 · 27 Jun 2008 at 17:55

Find a 32 man lazytown server and play for over an hour without a win to find out why 16 man is the best setting

mrk · 27 Jun 2008 at 18:48

15 pyros on one map is not enough?

crazy...
