[POLL] Are you a fan of 16 player maps?? Why or why not?

[mingo1]

While there was a short era in the 2010s where 16 player maps were popular, it is usually hard to find a 16 player match in multiplayer (in my experience).

A few questions:
- Are you a fan of 16 player maps? Why or why not?
- Why do you think most mapmakers choose 4-8 player maps over 12-16 player maps?
- Do you think lag is a factor?
- Should PB3 allow for maps with more than 16 players?

1- Yes because, more players = more interaction = more fun.

2- I think because 12-16 maps were uncommon and mostly weren't well known by the majority of the players including developers in my opinion.

Another dumb theory is that having more players might cause some sort of unwanted lag or bugs, I really don't know if this is actually true or not.

3-It really depends on how large the map is, I usually played with 16 players in a fair average base map and it went smooth and fine.

4-Big yes.

Think we can handle 16 player maps better in pb3.
Thing is, some maps for 16 players are too big for say 8. Some lobby system, or an expansion system to accomodate beyond 8 is one way to do it.

- Are you a fan of 16 player maps? Why or why not?

Yes, mostly tdm or coop matches, it feels more epic with more players on each team.

- Why do you think most mapmakers choose 4-8 player maps over 12-16 player maps?

Mostly lag issues or the size of the map, pb2's current playerbase isn't very large and filling up 12-16 player maps is harder, these maps are usually a good bit bigger and feel a lot more empty with less players.

- Do you think lag is a factor?

Definitely with the current state of multiplayer.

- Should PB3 allow for maps with more than 16 players?

Yes, if it can handle it, but I think Eric mentioned something about larger multiplayer matches a while ago on his twitter.

- Should PB3 allow for maps with more than 16 players?

1- It honestly depends on how large the map is and how many players it's able to fit in without crowding it too much.

TDM and Co-op maps tend to have bigger maps, and I enjoy those kind of matches with a lot of players! So yes, I guess I am a fan of them.

2- Possibly because they don't have to deal with the hassle of expanding the size of their map.

3- No idea, honestly.

4- Sure, why not.

- Are you a fan of 16 player maps? Why or why not?

Yes, more players, more fun
They're extremely chaotic if 16 players actually join but chaotic in a good way

- Why do you think most mapmakers choose 4-8 player maps over 12-16 player maps?

May be because you hardly ever have full even 8 player servers, aside that lag and not that uncommon server nuking may also be factors

- Do you think lag is a factor?

A little but as in first question 16 player matches are too chaotic to mind the lag

- Should PB3 allow for maps with more than 16 players?

Absolutely, imagine massive maps with multiple teams fighting against eachother

First. Yes im a fan of 16 players and i tried it myself to make own custom maps for 16 players

Second. Pretty sure because of better performance, and due to lack of players for matches with 16 slots

Third. Yes

Fourth. Of course!

This is such a banal couple of questions. It's like asking "Do you like good music?" or "Do you breath?". Answers are so obvious that there is no point even asking them. But people eat such questions like candy and run fast to answer them thinking their opinion is so god damn important and needs to be shared asap, when questions that are truly important are either ignored or misunderstood. Kids, meh, with empty heads, nothing new.

Obviously people like such maps unless if they lag or too chaotic. They are gone now because game is dead. And PB3 will probably be dead too because I don't see any signs of it to live long.

If you are not interested about the Question/Topic simply dont reply.
Dont go to other topics and create drama out of nowhere.
Warn issued.

- Are you a fan of 16 player maps? Why or why not?>> im enough with 6-8 players in a roleplay map

- Why mapmakers choose 4-8 players? >> the game performance isnt good, mapmakers either limit players for their map scale or depending on their map-type, or new people dont know how to set it up in their maps/matches, for me i see that a lot use 8 in RP maps cuz it brings good amount of players without so much lag, 16 can be overkill for framerate sometimes

- Do you think lag is a factor? >> its a bad factor, it can basically get worse by more players so..

Should PB3 allow for maps with more than 16 players? >> i would like more than 16 players, however, it would depends if its gonna handle it or not, cuz we are still not sure.

-------- - -- - - -
cant tell u if i enjoyed 16 players in one match, remember how PB2 lowers framerate in multiplayer from the amount of players, it also rarely happens and it wont be fun if all of em are just silent and not interactive, of course more players are better than playing with few people. but im still fine with 8 players.

perhaps im a fan of 30 player maps, 16 players seems low for me so i think more players can produce more humor and chaos, so i hope we can play with a lot of players in one match in the future.

In plazma burst 2 it's just laggy, sadly, but i hope pb3 wont lag with 16 or more players slots, hopefully.

Perfect justification and it's much convincing xDD

Are you a fan of 16 player maps? Why or why not?

Indifferent. More players = more action = more fun... but more players = more lag = less fun... so more fun = less fun... therefore indifferent.

Why do you think most mapmakers choose 4-8 player maps over 12-16 player maps?

It is uncommon to find an 8/8 player match in the custom maps section unless it is paul308-base. It is very rare to find an 8/8 player match in approved/unapproved maps section unless it is stryde-sniper. So if matches in multiplayer cannot reach eight players, then there is no point in making a 12-16 player map.

Do you think lag is a factor?

Yes. More players joining the match = more lag.

Should PB3 allow for maps with more than 16 players?

Yes, however I doubt the match will have more than 16 players in it considering most matches in PB2 multiplayer have less than 8 players constantly.
