32 players on a 16 player map?

[mg1973]

is this allowed on ranked servers?

I believe not (sadly as it got pretty intense in such servers prior to EA's lockdown)

im pretty sure it is still ranked if u knock the map size down?

Other way round. If you try to do it on a ranked server, it'll just use the "correct" map size

Im guessing you can do 32 players on a 64 player map !

Weve tried a mix of 3 x 64 and 7 x 32 and 1 x 16 player maps, although I must admit Ive never played on the 16 player map I set in the rotation !

When they introduce 1.3 and the ability to play custom maps ? Do Multiplay know whether there is going to be problems for ranked servers playing custom maps ? are there going to be approved ranked custom maps ? are there going to be any new official maps ?

We introduced the map size variation into our rotation to try and offer something different. If 32 are playing on a 16 player map whats the harm in that ?

Level playing field ? arent these maps supposed to be that anyway ? no matter what the the team strength ?

Seems that if they wont spice things up by introducing new official maps or by securing it so much that custom maps arent allowed. Then any settings in game that we can offer to releive the monotony of playing the same map over and over is to be expected.

They should worry more about maintaining the playability of these types of games with new maps and mods, addons etc. than worrying about ranked servers playing 16 player maps on 32 slot servers
