Class Limitation and 64 Player Servers

[Dr. Pierre Chang]

This is something I thought of while recently playing on a 50 Player ROOST server. Each team had 6(!) semi-auto riflemen, about 5 SMGers, 2 MGs, and a minuscule 2-3 bolt rifleman due to the larger amount of special roles available on large capacity servers.

I think that these special roles should be more limited initially in HOS and unlock as more people join the server (to prevent having entire teams of special roles without any bolt rifles whatsover). I believe America's Army 2.xx had this feature and it worked well. Note that I don't mean preventing players from accessing semi-auto rifles or SMGs, but limit it to 1-2 roles until the server fills up with more bolt riflemen. This could probably be accomplished ala AA by opening up a new "squad" of players whenever the original squad of 10-12 players reaches capacity.

Great idea!

I thought they were already doing something like this.

Something to face the issue is indeed needed and I assume TWI has a plan to fix it =). Which available classes there should be for 8on8 competitive though I'm curious about how TWI will handle =).

I'm pretty sure you can already do this in ROOST, so I don't see why they won't continue it in ROHOS.

Good old Bolts....some people always choose it 1st

I agree with this, but I think depending on the unit fighting on the map should also depend on the amount of certain classes.

Maybe on a map where one team is defending a hillside they should get more MG's, or on close quarters maps more SMG's ETC according to real life.
