Server Max is 16 Slots?

Post » Sat Dec 27, 2008 11:54 am

Forgive me if this is old news, but why the hell is 16 players the maximum amount available for dedicated servers? WTF, is this black ops?

This is a major disappointment to go along with everything else that everyone else has posted today. I regret purchasing this game. Console gamers win yet again, while PC gamers are thrown out like yesterday's trash.

Is it funny if I say that I'm actually happy that it's 16? Why? Because I actually thought it was 12 as in the demo, and as stated on the game box. Seeing 8 on 8 and 16 total made my day. Of course, I had wished this was 32, but I was absolutely expecting 12. This was my nice surprise of the day that I hadn't read anywhere before getting the game today (at Walmart, no preorder, but they had 4 in stock :D).

I just think it's a tremendous disappointment. Wasn't expecting it at all, given that BC2 and MOH were 32-slot servers. I'm just shocked. While I agree, it's better than 12, but I just feel like the console version wins this round too.

Really wish I could get a refund, but I'm sure Crytek and EA are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank right now.

More players don't always mean better. 32-slots would be overwhelming on these maps.

Yeah I guess that was the idea behind the decision. I was more hoping that there would also be some larger maps with vehicles and support for more players. Eh well.

Return it on grounds that the game falsely advertises DirectX 11 support. They'll have to give you a refund then.

Too many players on a map and I feel it promotes camping, which I cant stand. Like this players have to get out and look a little more to get kills.

You don't have to look hard on these tiny maps. You just keep running into each other.
