I think everyone would agree that it is better to have different population caps per map rather than one size fits all. In saying that though I'm not sure the first iteration has nailed each maps population, Torias Refinery for example could probably use an increase from 20 per side. What would people think to the following Olipsis - 15 per side BlackBolt - 20 per side Pegasus - 25 per side Torias - 30 per side Harkus - 40 per side (when possible)
I'd like to see player counts capped in 10's to keep with squad consistency. Smallest map size 20 preferably.
I'd rather see maps adjusted to match increases in player populations then have the population restricted by the maps, we've campaigned since day1 to have as many players in the battles as possible and with the demise of true "open world" we can at least try to have as many players in each match as possible if the maps too small for the numbers .... then it needs to be revamped
At the same time true open world shouldnt force 46 players in one small room, i've seen enough of it in PS2. Not to mention Blackbolt, for exmple, is significally more tactical with 15 vs 15 than with 24 vs 24.
thats why I said the maps need to be reworked ... so they accomodate the max player pop and I dont mean by making the rooms bigger lol I mean by:- making the maps larger, more objectives or having the objectives further apart, more buildings on the map and/or more rooms in the buildings etc
Different maps should have different max pops. Reason: People like different size matches. Personally i'd have 2, one small and one large. I have significantly less interest in playing 15 vs 15 than I do 30 vs 30 or more for example. Each to their own.
reducing the number of players on the map like has been introduced as of the latest patch has reverted it back to the silent ghost town feeling.... it just doesn't seem like a battle is raging where as with the larger pop size of 30v30 it was a lot more hectic and fun. Feels like we have taken a few steps back instead of going forward but thats just how I feel
I've seen many people stuffed into a room on planetside while some nice guy fires radiation bombs. Good times.
This is pretty much my feeling as well, was looking at a 15v15 and couldn't help but thinking it was more fun while bullets were flying everywhere near the point.
