And what happens to the 32 player servers that show up on the list anyway? If anything bad is going to happen to them (ie, master server blacklisting the ips), please let us know so we can then take em off or change them within range without the bad stuff happening.
The thing with servers, they have a self governing thing going on. If they really suck, they crash and burn only to be empty 24/7 If a player has a lower end pc, maybe he should be the one to decide whether he joins a 32 player server or not, not valve. There is astronomical demand for 32 players and it's silly to try and hide them. By hiding them they are effectively making them non-existent, and new players that can handle 32 players might not even know they exist. I don't think valve needs to hold every players hand. If you lag in a 32 player server, go on a server with fewer people. Not hard to solve now is it? Btw, my 233mhz Pentium lags on a 32 player half-life 1 dm server, valve plz hide 32 player half-life 1 dm servers so I don't accidentally join it and lag. Doesn't make much sense does it? - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: Alfred Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 12:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Battle Summary Jub Jub? The game was design for 24 players and was breaking for clients with lower end PC's when more than that were added, so in the interest of fair game play for all only 24 player or less servers are listed. You are free to run a server with a higher player count. - Alfred Michael R.
