I was always under the impression that this game was designed for 32 players. Half the team tanking, half being infantry and support. I just figured that from one of the default server sizes in some FDS readme from years ago. Honestly 32-40 has the best balance in the game IMO. I've always maintained that the vehicle limit should be half of the team's max player. Ie 40 player server = 10 tanks per side. It kind of helps fight the campfest troop talks about in 40+.
In all honestly, no one here truly knows. But 16-40 seems like what they logically thought was appropriate.

This. They didn't have an EXACT amount in mind, but since it works just as well for 16 as it does 40... yeah. I don't see why this is even worth discussing... what's there to be gained? It's not like Crimson is forcing all servers to be 40 players only...

That's true, nor have I ever said the game wasn't designed for anything BUT 40 players. It's great 1v1, 2v2, 25v25... doesn't matter.
I'm the bawss.

It works for all amounts, although nearly every 2-8 player game I've been in made me want to snap my laptop in half.

Basically, 12-16 players is a much more laid back environment as opposed to there being 60 players or more
|
^from this, I'd personally say you haven't played enough smaller games to understand (I'd wish Spoony would jump in here and use lobbywars as an example but). With 40 players, THAT is laid back gameplay....it allows people to pointwhore because there are 19 other players on your team that you can rely on to defend the base.
With smaller games, you have to ACTIVELY keep track of where you oppenents are, what your own team mates are doing etc. Its for this exact reason you don't near see as much point whoring in smaller games (if you've ever wondered why not), as players are forced to be more productive.
|
Hmm, I see you're point. I don't know why I said that.. you can even see at the bottom of my post I started talking about those 4 vs All games. Yes, the 4 won the majority of the time, but playing on that team made you run around in circles just to make sure the enemy didn't get any headway.
I think what I meant to say was larger games provide more action while smaller games (or teams, rather) provide more strategy and require you to think on your feet more.
