I'm getting tired of joining Hawken and the only thing I'm able to join as of late is these dumb 24 man servers.  They don't accurately describe the game play flow and really make things just far too chaotic.  They were fun for about a couple nights, now its just annoying to be forced to play in those lobbies.  

 

Make them like they were where people had to populate it via server browser rather than being able to search for a gamemode and get stuck in one. Like it was before.  I want those 12 man servers back as priority for queueing.  :(

It has already been established that 24 man servers don't work with the current map sizes. 

 

It's not difficult to avoid them, Just use the server browser.

Some people have to queue up in order to get in a match due to too high MMR.

I concur, the First few rounds where nice . But when you start to noticing that you have no choice but to stay in groups because how small the map is.  camping and f@ckin spartan defence lines come into play.

 

Your only tactical options in that stage of 24 vs 24 is to stay in a group and rush the enemy every now and then or stay position and defend and wait or them to rush THAT'S IT. if you try any other tactic by your self you will die no matter what. This sucks out the point of the game and really just dulls it out . 

 

If we had a large map this would be more then fantastic, But we don't and prob wont until the near end beta until then they should really get rid of the 24 vs 24

 

Im glade im not the only one who noticed this 


Where the party at?

OK this 24's should be option only. NOT in the auto rotation. Just doesn't work. Fun once in awhile but not without a choice.

Just keep 2 mayhem servers , one in dallas and one in frankfurt, and make all the rest 12 player servers.

Ok for the option and the takin away of the Matchmaker.

 

Beside, not all the maps are that small for the mayhem games. The TTK is.

 

When it was introduced in open beta, only Bazaar and Frontline were part of the tour and TTK was higher.

I remember epic battles where the mechs trully express their function (ie: Class C : tanking, Class B : support, Class A : suppress)

Also the flanking was decisive to counter the death balls.

 

That said, this format is not optimal with the current settings but it's sometimes fun and had to keep existing.

Nah just have the ability to filter out these servers, or rework logic into giving higher priority towards 12/14 man instead.

I'm getting really tired of these clusterfuzzy bunny servers; give us the ability to filter these out from matchmaking. And please let us filter out private servers too.

I like the 24 person servers. Not always, but they make for a good game. 

 

When playing scout, 24-man servers really up the ante for my situational awareness. Scouts are squisky and I have to keep on my toes. Makes for good practice.

I find I have to make deeper (further into the future) predictions.  I'd like them out of the general rotation as requiring 'too much' (edit: from me) for a general match.  I'd like 4x the map area for 4x the players.

 

I like 7m/15min servers on our current maps OK.

I think they are doing a great job at killing off player base. They need out of the general rotation.

Can we remove the mayhem option for co-op TDM as well?  It's hard enough dealing with perfect bot aim when there are six of em shooting at you, 12 just makes for a complete mess.

We weren't debating whether the new modes implemented should be removed, but rather they should be placed lower in priority for matchmaking, or filtered out by those who want that option.

 

On another note, they should also implement a way to filter every other server and instead join a lower MMR 16/24 man server through the matchmaker (filtering specific servers by location, or match type via the total number of players).
