As far as I know, the reason people always say no more than 5s is because it gets "too spammy", but frankly, we all know someone is going to bitch about spam anyways...whether it is 7s, 5s, or 3s.

For some siegers, its just built into their nature to bitch about something. At least with 6s+, most people are getting the chance to have fun playing the game they love while the ones who were going to bitch anyways are doing their thing.

I've always been in favor of 6s+, but I don't recommend 7s on a 14 person server. If one person has to go AFK or leave (which is highly likely with so many people) then it is pretty disruptive to the game to keep yelling for someone to go spec on the other team. I would recommend only doing 7s with a couple of subs available, but since the max capacity is 14, you won't have that luxury.

You are marginalizing legitimate observations as being merely "bitching," but the truth is, some maps do indeed chug fat black dick with larger amounts of players. For example, Hangar is ridiculously easy to hold on 5v5. Hoth 5v5 results in either a hangar tie or a "one team held hangar for 20, other held hangar for 19" pretty much 99% of the time. The other objectives don't even really matter. I have been considering adding statistics logs, and I am certain that they would prove this.

Afro mode. Afro understood this, hence why he always instantly joined to capt every pug. Meanwhile niggers sit in spec refusing to capt, and then bitch about having to spec the pug.

I agree with everyone who said 7s. Why should we leave other people spec? Jka is a dead game and we are lucky to get enough to play 5s.

Hoth / cargo / nar are not the only maps we can play if you afraid of spam thing. we can play korr with sabers only. I dont see a problem here.

Also keep in mind that NOT all players play just to win. Some of us are back because we love playing together and having fun.
