Do you prefer more players, or fewer....

[Adam Baker]

I was wondering what is everyons preference, as far as the number of players in a game.

When I first started playing, I was thinking that more players would be better, as tehre would be more targets. But I found that I usually had a higher amount of deaths vs kill's on servers w/ lots of players.

However, on maps w/ fewer (usually 32 or less) I tend to do really good, w/ far more kills vs deaths.

Just wondering peoples preferences.

I tend to be privy to more players. As you said, it provides for an ample amount of targets - thus more action. The server on which I play has accomodations for 40 players and uses 64-player maps. It was raised to 50 for a while (they added 10 admin slots) but the server began to run afoul. I was fond of the 50, but I suppose the 40 will have to suit me. It provides for a nice mixture of intense fighting and stealthy operations.

I try to stick to 64's when playing with guys in TS. If noones on, and I'm working on a badge/ribbon/etc.. I'll find a 32-40 man server playing a 64 player map. But for the most part, I prefer the action of the larger servers.

more player capacity with less players (11/64) hence -- more time -- more opportunity to get on the board, medal etc.

I almost always play 64man servers but I wanted my Expert Spec Ops Badge and I don't think I've ever gotten 40 kills on a 64man before so I jumped in a 40man and got 43 kills. So only when I want a specific badge I will go to a smaller server.

i never play on less than 64 player servers. Occasionally a server will crash or somthing and its left with only say 30 on it and i stay but thats more because i didn't notice.

To be honest though i can't really see why anyone wouldn't want the maximum number of players possible.

I was never able to play 64 man maps cause it would lag badly but since the patch1.03 i can play them now and i can see your point there is alot more action going on and it is more fun to play on

32 players all the time for me

32 players a majority of the time.

16 is a nice change, it often makes the games more fun.
It allows a player to use tactics and skills.
Less Tanks and Aircraft so it's more about infantry fighting.
Plus you don't have to spend all your time running across the map.

64 is just too insane, to many stat whoring 203s/GP30.

I always thought of more players would be awesome, and organized. JOE has 150 players max on a server, BF2..64 players max. The more players, the more chaotic the game looks. Everyone running around like their is no tomorrow and arms in the air, screaming. But from all that, I join 64 player servers.

I like having more,that why you can rack up some good kill and team points

64 it pains me to play with less, I am still waiting to get the patch that runs 100-120 players smooth.....someday....BF3 maybe?

More, 32 just doesnt quite cut it.

Re: Do you prefer more players, or fewer....

Definitely more....I prefer total chaos. But getting this basic pistol badge is killing me (literally) so based on these post I will try a smaller server.

Re: Do you prefer more players, or fewer....

i normally just play on ranked 32 man servers..16 v 16 is perfect for me:)
