Whenver I get in those massive 16 player games, I usually get triple teamed, and get like 4 people all shooting me from behind, and EVERYONE camps and snipes. And on top of this, the lag is pretty bad.

I like smaller matches better because you are getting more "challenge". not just aiming into a big pit of people and hitting someone, but just hitting that one or two people infront of you.

Don't get me wrong, some levels can be WAY more fun with 16 players, but I kind of prefer small 2-8 player matches :P

You should try 1v1 games, they are great!

Agreed.

For me, I prefer a 4v4. Decent amount of targets for me to kill, but not much childlike action going on. Perfect.

Wifi just suck for onlie gaming, and I like to have an odd number of players in my server, I try to keep it 13, cause I mostly play maps with vehicles, and are large, and I like more people, and I like it when I can swich between teams if needed even when the server is full. wired is better then wifi for gaming, truest me on that, I've used a wifi card in a laptop for playing halo for a few years, and my ping was high, and couln't join servers half the time, but with wired intnernet I have a better ping, and I live in the heart of utah, home of the mormons, the people who download tons of crap and rapes my intnernet every day.

I love the frantic randomness of a full 16v16 game. Vehicles fly everywhere, people keep on smaking each other to death - it's all good. 4v4 make me bored.

1v1 and 2v2 are very tactically enjoyable with slayer, there you have purely have a matter of skills and map management.

6v6 and 8v8s are fun for team games like CTF/CTF assault, Oddball etc. If you've got a decent team and can have some decent strategy, it's a lot easier to get more frantic battles and have good teamwork - for example who's on defense, what the attack strategy is and so on. It's better for big team maps with vehicles (which obviously don't get much use in most 1v1/2v2 games).

The middle ground is nice mix between the two as well, and can work with any gametypes.
