32 player server for TF2 released

[developer]

You may have noticed some servers operating above the 24 player cap in Team Fortress 2. In an effort to improve and nurture the new community in this game, a moder has released his work to the public to break this "exclusivity" BS that is occurring.

Feel free to share and distribute but please give credit to the author, that is all that is asked.

Please note that whenever Team Fortress 2 is updated, the mod will break, and a new version will be released thru that site. Enjoy and happy fragging!

Umm.... note taken. I'll check it out in a bit.

As small as the maps are, I think 32 would be too many.

 

[Baron Rojo]

i think the capacity of the players now is fine = )

My thoughts exactly.

Cool mod, I expected to see this, but I agree with Valve and others, 24 seems to be the sweet spot at the moment. Its nice to have a standard when you're mapping too, 32 would require a larger map, more running to get to the fight.

32 people on 2fort or dustbowl?



*shudders and crawls into fetal position on the corner and cries*

 

[Meisster -I|G-]

lol blackhawk...but yeah...on the maps i've played on so far 32 would be too many people playing at one time

This information is presented for your knowledge. Whether you choose to use it at this time when, in your opinion the maps are too small to handle this many players, or if you choose to use it in the future when conceivably, the community or possibly VALVe may release larger maps, it is here for your use, nothing more or less.

However, if I may offer; it is this observer's opinion that:

So far with the right equipment the gameplay remains as smooth as it was with 24 players. You can still capture the case/checkpoints and games still progress and often do not end in stalemates. If you have the respawn timer set to 0 though I would defintley think about re-implementing it with this many players, as a team of smart engineers can be quite pesky with no respawn time.

24 is perfect. What do you mean by exclusivity? Yes, I am a high school English teacher and know what the word means, but I'm not sure how it applies to your statements.

 

[FurryCollections]

cool

 

[Blazing Heat]

I would only play 24 people servers...never liked over 25 servers (but hey, they are ok on DoD xD)

 

[Eire.32]

24 is a godd number with the small maps but i say give it a try a lets see what happens

[MorbidEwok]

Hmm... we could try it... but I'd wait until the game goes live before doing so.

 

[developer]

its all good in the hood.

I tried a 32 player server last night, I can tell you now it was just mayhem! It feels like the maps are too small when there are that many people around. I would really love to see a server with custom maps designed for 32 players sometime in the future though, that would be so awesome!

 

[Carsonauto]

Iunno, 32 kinda scares me. I really, really want to see what modders come up with though =D

Id love it if we started to do some custom maps =D

 

[A-Team]

32- to much chaos...i jsut glad there are no greandes (other then the demoman peeps)

 

[=(eGO)=Spann]

I think it'll be fine, makes things hectic.
