Euro Forces much better with 64 players!

[DrJambo]

Well after my first experience of the Euro Forces maps on 32 player servers I have to say I was fairly disappointed. The maps seemed too big for 16-a-side and basically everyone was in vehicles; there was little to no infantry skirmishes at all, even on the alledged infantry map - Great Wall.

So, following the advice of another forum patron and based on the knowledge that nothing changes between the 32 and 64 servers, I decided to give Euro Forces a go on a 64 player server. Now, if I recall correctly it was originally stated that Euro Forces didn't support 64 players (or was it 64 player servers?)... anyway, somewhat ironically I found that EF really, really, comes into its own with the greater number of players! The balance between armour and infantry is much better and having up to 64 players plays beautifully into the hands of the larger maps.

So, if you were /are a Euro Forces skeptic then before giving up on Euro Forces give the "unsupported" 64 player servers a shot. I highly recommend it. :)

Unsupported means "Don't call us if it doesn't work" :)

Get's a little laggy for me with 64 though.

The Idea was I guess to have a 32 Player Map size with 64 slots, then that would make a decent infantry combat on Great wall however all the current servers all have 16 player slots. Rather silly.

I thought all the maps were crap when I first downloaded this yesterday, but having managed to find a couple of 64 player servers to play on I now love 'em !! Plenty of action if you play with 64....god knows why EA has classified the maps as 32 players.....

Just finished a short session (2 rounds each of Taraba & Smoke Screen) on a 64 player server. Enjoyed it lots. Performance wasn't any different to 32.

Deffinately a different game with 64 people, i was going to give up on it after playing a 32 player server, admitidly briefly. Maps seem huge for 32 players and the gameplay also seems slow and boring. With 64 its fast and action packed with huge armour fights and great face offs.
I cant see why they are classified as being 32 player either.

YEah the maps are oversized for 32 players. I lag a little on Great Wall 64, but the rest aren't too bad.
