32 Player Servers ... Where art thou?

[SpiderPig]

Where are the 32 player servers gone?

Have Valve nuked 'em or something?

More players = more fun.

24 is the default cap, but there are 32 player servers out there.

Valve filtered out the 32 player servers.

If you don't use programs like ASE or Qtracker, you can still see them there. Then you can just favorite those IP's so you don't lose track of 'em.

Maps were made with 24 players MAX in mind. 32 was overkill IMO.

32 is just a "LETS GET MORE POINTS" thing, imo....makes it boring, and strategy just silly. Way too many engies...*6 in intelli room = wtf.*

You can have a dozen engineers in that room- I can still take them all out as a soldier if I've got a medic with me.

Pretty sure valve will lift that 24 player cap filter thing soon, they capped dods initially as well but when the community moaned they allowed 32 player servers, might have done for another game but im not sure. Personally I liked 32 player servers, 24 is good too but for games like this the more chaotic the better for me.

Negative, 12 level 3 turrets vs. 1 soldier/medic = you die

Soldiers can shoot around corners without being shot at by the sentry. 12 engineers would probably be able to take me down if they all came at me at once, but I could probably take them all out one by one with a medic. If a pyro or HW comes downstairs, that's a different story. But sentry guns I can beat, easily.

You don't even need direct hits- just using splash damage by shooting the ground near a sentry is enough. Ammo might be a concern.

yes ofc that many engi's will sit idle whilst you kill his turrets

I agree - i prefer 8-15 players, so there aren't 50 billion sentries all the way over the map, and it requires more skill imo.

32 players just ends in stalemate and is a bad spies field day (plenty of backstabs .. not much else). Personally I prefer 20 - 24 players that way you can generally survive a scout rush on Granary or Well. I feel bit sorry for the Xbox guys because they only get 16 players max, that seems too few in my view.

In my opinion the perfect balance would be 18 players because then you could have 1 of each class on both teams, and it wouldn't be who's got what class but who has the most skill. However very few servers do this.

You are going to have the most fun max 24.
32 is way too many players and ends in stalemates way too much.

 

[zzzzac1]

In BF2 theres 64 player, and 119... Lol, I like servers with about 40 people, unless is team fortress, about 25.

 

[WolfeR]

unless is team fortress, about 25.

What? Why would you like uneven teams?

 

[MaStA]

i think 24 players is the right amount for Tf2.
