Please add 16v16 for multiplayer

[Spec521]

I played the demo and really like the game and have expressed so to all my fellow gamers, in my opinion this is the closest game to Socom that I have seen in a long time and I think it's great. There is 1 thing that is holding me back from buying the game. 4v4 multiplayer?..?.??. Only?.?.Why.... I have a clan with over 40 members as do most of the gamers who play these types of games... Why limit players to 4v4 only. Leave the 4 player mode to coop only. You add 10v10 16v16 and I'm sure you will garner most if not all of the socom players that are left.

I second this: more players please.
Probably 16vs16 is too much given he fact that it's a squad based multiplayer, but I think that a 8vs8 would do well.
Anyway Uncharted is 5vs5 and I had fun with that as well.

I too consider myself a SOCOM fan just waiting for a real version which probably won't be any time soon. That being said I've found Spec Ops as a more closely SOCOM shooter than be the company that actually developed the series. I hope after release maybe 2k could look to add 8 vs 8 modes. Tried to get the word out for people to try the demo and give the game a chance. How about releasing a MP level or two to give people some sense of how the MP will go?

I like the idea of more players on a map, but 16vs16 may be a little bit much (just look up some multiplayer gameplay to see the size of the maps and you'll know what I mean).10vs10 would be a good max number, although I doubt that there will be any changes with like forty some days before release. Hopefully the can patch after release and add a higher capacity to the maps.

In my opinion... SPEC OPS is what SOCOM 4 should have been. It was bad enough that when CONFRONTATION was released Sony lost a huge fan base... But it still had a SOCOM feel to it... so it wasn't too bad... But SOCOM 4 is a total disgrace and I couldn't believe the original makers of SOCOM were the developers... And they made it so like CALL OF DOOKEY... Which SOCOM was never like. (2 completely different games). I still cant bring myself to play S4. Maybe a few co-op maps. I do understand that SPEC OPS is NOT SOCOM.. But it is still very close to it. Just would like that ole SOCOM feel with some great 10v 16v clan battle action. If 16 is to much 10 would definitely do fine.

Is it really just 4 vs 4?. Hope they increase it to 8 vs 8. 16 vs 16 players is way to much.

[Fugue]

Is it really just 4 vs 4?

according to last months previews yes.

[RedHarlow]

That's really lame.

[smik03]

16v16? lmao! now thats overkill.

i prefer 4v4 as its more upclose combat and easy for teaming up as a competitive team in social, dont forget the mp maps are really small.

if anything, a slight change to 5v5 would be great.

(Edit)

played the beta of Spec Ops and im so glad this is nothing like the borefest of any Socom's, especially Socom 4 & confrontation.

Socom's gameplay gets diluted with more players , if anything the game would have been so much better had it been 6v6 only smaller designed maps.

Bigger isnt always better.

4v4 is alright but i would much rather have a bit bigger teams, 16 v 16 is ridiculous, 10 v 10 is till kind of big considering the map sizes, 5v5 or 6v6 would be better
also who has seen the pic with 5 people on the same team, its on the main site in the multiplayer section

[Fugue]

I can see why clans want more but if the maps are small it's just not going to work, previews were all talking about 4v4 but guess one of the other modes might be higher?

[2K Elizabeth]

The game is 4v4 and that's not something we are likely to change - as you know, balancing is key to a good multiplayer experience, and as for the "why" - the game is centered around small squads given the nature of the disaster.

[FPSjohn]

I am just wondering is the buffs going to get a upgrade or something? because I don't think they need that much tweaking. Is there other things that are being upgraded just want to know thanks

[ped_jake]

Thanks for replying Elizabeth, looking forward to the release date in June. Just want 2K to keep an open mind toward expanded number of MP, 6 vs 6 is a good number or possibly a one life mode 8 vs 8. Something to think about. Speaking of that will it be only 2K servers or will there be ranked servers with some user controlled options?

[DaNielgAUci]

Will they be releasing a demo/beta for the multiplayer (excluding the one from years ago), or will we have to wait for the game?

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

from maps ive seen on gamespot gameplays it should be 6 v 6
