The choice would still ultimately be up to the player connecting.
So long as you give them that choice. Which you currently don't.
If it was
a 32 player server it would be communicated to them.
It is now if you don't cheat the system.
My suggestion was to
remove the scoring penalty because a large portion of the TF2 player base
likes 32 player servers.
So why do you feel the need to cheat then? Your argument is self-negating.
If people like 32 player servers you wouldn't be peeing with your player
counts.
You wouldn't need to.
It's a bit rich you saying this is "your suggestion" - you haven't made
a suggestion, you've
basically decided to go ahead and mess around with your server
parameters so you don't get a
scoring penalty when you should.
I notice plenty of instant spawn 2fort servers in the UK that are full,
that have generally been full since 2008 and that have never needed
to lie, fake their tags, add fake bots or mess with parameters to
game quickplay.
The key thing to note is that a large portion of the TF2 player base
don't like them, and
they want to filter our your servers from their list.
But it's moot. There's no point anyone suggesting that quickplay should
connect to servers with mods, 32 players or whatever else until you start
acting in an honest way with the tags - that is common sense, if your
tags are full of
shit, then there's little point Valve using those tags to give you players.
