So if there was much better stats tracking in place that would mean the results would be the same across the board of player numbers right?

Watching a server 18 hours a day is kind of sad don't you think? I'm just throwing it out there, for the benefit of your health of course.

So big servers have more strategy because individuals have less bearing on a game and therefore you rely on overcoming problems with sheer weight of numbers?
Sounds like ww1 trench warfare if you ask me. There's a reason this type of com… -

Cool, now that the advertorial is out of the way, can we get someone who doesn't run ns2 servers to provide feedback.

You can play on 128 player servers for all I care. Nobody is trying to deny fun or to ban 24 player servers.
I'm just advocating that you can run your own little paradise that comes up as yellow and is declared as a modified or non standard en… -
As good as your server sounds</s> you musn't attract a very high caliber of player. If presented with two teams who are both quite competent and marines who can actually aim there simply isn't any justification for how aliens would be winning …

It sounds like you have so much experience on Mavick's super mega awesome server that you haven't seen the other side of the coin or recognise the imbalances that occur when different numbers of players are on the field. -
Not sure whats worse. Banging head against brick wall or arguing with someone who thinks Britney Spears is a great musician and that 12 v 12 won't benefit marines.
At least the brick wall makes sense I guess. -
They are there because it comes up at the top of server lists. Humans by nature will just follow the crowd. If I was a new player and went to launch my first game I'd almost guarantee I'd be going to a 24 player server. It displays at the top, there…

Thank you.
That is all. -
Yeah, the pub selection for Aus is monash 18 player and usually one official 16. The rest are 24.

I would have thought the abundance of OFFICIAL 16 player servers could have aided you in your understanding of dev-intended gameplay. OR the fact that there is a near requirement to go shift first on 24player games because there is… -

You know, IT degrees are worth about as much as the piece of paper its printed on. I'd try to contain that ego around a workplace.

Did you seriously just try and bignote yourself about an IT degree?
It was an analogy into the hivemind mentality that bigger numbers or higher versions are better by default.

Just want them to be marked yellow.

No it wouldn't. For a start, most official boxes are 16 spots. 6 v 6 is purely a comp thing that doesn't extend past that.
People would just join the 16 slot server with spots in it because it comes up the top of the server l… -

And you've just concluded that you like 'hectic fun', which takes me back to my tower defense analogy.
You're just following the more numbers is more fun simplicity that pubbers seem to love. I don't have a problem with it. J… -

You basically just remove the entire metagame of territory control and res awareness.
As soon as each kill/death becomes unimportant, you remove any necessity to think. The only strategy involved is throwing more numbers at a… -

I don't think showing an example of 24 players playing some made up catch and kiss game relevant to rebutting the fact that players are missing alot of what ns2 has to offer when playing zerg v zerg.

24 player servers are just the Tower Defense version of an RTS game. Something for the ADD gamers who just want to kill things and not have to think.
That's fine with me but at the very least it would be good for the server browser to list the… -

i7 3Ghz - GTX680 - 16Gb RAM - SSD.
Still hate engaging in anything with more than 1 person 20minutes into a game. -
I had no idea they even sold Velociraptors anymore.
