Assault needs fewer players.

Post » Fri Sep 24, 2010 3:24 pm

Ive been playing Assault for quite a bit lately and one thing ive noticed is that the more players are in game the more it tips in favor of the defending side. A 3v3 or 4v4 Assault is great but 6v6 (and 8v8) is completely one sided. Most games come down to a tie (2/4 for each team) and the winner being whoever managed to get the most data downloaded.

In an 8v8 Assault there are simply too many defenders for the attackers to avoid.

in general I have to say that on the PC 8vs8 is pure ****, whoever had the bright idea to increase it to 8v8 on maps designed for 6vs6 sould get shoot

and ofcourse the vast majority of servers are 8vs8, beacose PC gamers in their infinite wisdom still can't wrap their head around "more players=/=better"

I imagine it wont be long until we see these retarded 32v32 servers. But yeah 8v8 does seem a little too much in general. Most of my deaths are from being shot in the back or killed while im engaging someone else.

Assault is entirely broken with 16 players in game though which is sad really because it has the potential to be a great game mode.
