Had an opportunity to join a MvM game.

All I have to say is holy ****, that was FUN. That's the most fun I've had in TF2 I think!

I may end up buying a few of the steam store ticket things for it just to show support for how much I like this co-op.

Tonight at 10, be there or be square... or upside down triangle. Not sure what shapes you people identify with.

Server shows 24/24. It's counting bots as players. You may need to set maxplayer 32 as when I made a server I freaked out till I did that.

So, we need 6, otherwise MvM is a total waste of time.

There should be some kind of difficulty scaling based on # of players, but there isn't based on what I've read. Just have to turn the difficulty down if you don't have 6.

So yah... slaughter house. Those bots are brutal and anything less than 6 working together is disaster.

The first time I played the bowmen absolutely destroyed us all. I think everyone that was playing it was their first time. But its so much fun.

How do you turn the difficulty down?


---------------

Otherwise, I agree. Its ridiculous with anything less than 6. It is most noticeable when fighting a tank. Less than 6 MAYBE 5 and you cannot destroy the tank before it reaches the bomb site.

Maybe because we were getting hammered so hard and it was the first time, but I think PvP is more interesting at the moment. The only reason I want to keep playing is to actually finish a round.

I was upset when the server bugged needing a restart and then lagged for no apparent reason.

I also couldn't figure out why console reported maxplayers 32 when the server started but steam reported 24. After entering rcon maxplayers I got 24 but sending rcon maxplayers 32 would give an error saying "maxplayers cannot be changed when server is started". Then after doing it 10 times it took it and increased it to 32.

Aside from that I think it performed well.

"The steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request."

I don't know if Steam agrees with your proposal, Red.
