Why only 12 player midway servers now?

[Xtromass]

Maybe so they look full?

The 16 player servers were full all the time :-)

Why the hell would they lower them? I'd rather have them increased

Maybe so they look full?

I played a warfare on island, 58 people.

it was retarded.

imo, 32 cap on all warfare, 12/18 on deathmatch. 24 tdm.

while im here.... shangri la is my fav!

^It's easy. You set up your own 16 player server, and get all the people who want to play the lamest, least skilled DM game of UT to join it. Then you ***** out the RL.

respawnkiller?

I guess you didn't think that one through.

Anyone else?

respawnkiller?

[Xtromass]

Tell me how it is possible to get a monster kill on a 8player server then? You need 7 of 8 people in the same room, and you need to kill em all fast.

So the ps3 has now a maximum of 12 players but it says,
on the box max 16

No, it's just the player count on the official servers has been reduced. It doesn't mean 16-player games can't occur.

Because large games are boring spamfests?

Quoted for truth.

8 Players is much better for DM, 16 was far too many on *most* of the maps!

[Harmatia]

It works for DM and TDM (and some CTF maps) but limiting the VCTF and WAR servers to lower player number was a bad move. VCTF and WAR work better with more players while DM/TDM just become more and more of a spamfest.

On the brightside, at least we know they're listening to our suggestions.

I prefer 12 for War and VCTF, but I'd still be happy with 16 (and I guess it makes a good compromise). 24 is the highest that works for any of the stock maps, imho.

Hmm... just took a look and it seems only the EU servers are using lower player numbers.

Awwww

I wasn't at my PS3 earlier so I couldn't check it out firsthand. I was pretty excited when I read about 8 player DM/TDM servers.

[Tailsnake]

Hmm... just took a look and it seems only the EU servers are using lower player numbers. The only logical reason for them to do that would be because all server (US 16 players and EU 8/12 players) will soon be playable by everyone. Some hope for a patch announcement soon...

Í guess they have to save up on server costs since the game didn't sell as well as expected or something perhaps?

no they did it because 16 player tdm games are horrid.
