So,... is this a game I need to spring for

[RobotBanana]

I know "Ranked" Servers have certain standard settings.

Anyone know what they are ??

From what I've experienced playing on the current top servers, FF is usually off. Killcam is usually off (why?). The longest respawn time so far has been 5 seconds. They all seem to have at least 4-5 maps in rotation, I guess since rounds in CoD4 are shorter than games like 2142. The largest servers I've seen so far are 54 players.

That's not exactly official, but it's what I've seen on the 50+ man servers so far.

That would be in DM and TDM servers though, settings are vastly different to those on servers running tactical hardcore servers and the other various game modes.

Ah yeah. Although Team Death Match seems to be the most popular anyway.

Regarding maps, they all seem to be popular, and they're all fun IMO. There isn't a single map that I've seen so far that I don't like. If you sort the server listing by map, they're pretty evenly distributed. Overgrown, Wet Work, Strike, Vacant, Countdown, District, to name a few, are pretty good if you ask me.

Shipment with 50 people is a riot. The map is just a small square with a bunch of shipping crates thrown around. It literally looks like a 4 on 4 map at the largest. Really tiny. When you put 50 people in it, grenades are flying everywhere. You don't live very long. There aren't enough spawn points, so both teams spawn from the same points; hold the trigger as soon as you spawn and you'll get kills. The round lasts maybe 5 minutes at the longest. As soon as it ends, 5000 lol's flood the chat screen. It's worth trying a couple times. It's a quick few minutes of utter chaos before you go back to a map with a little less chaos... It's fine when you have a lot of other maps in the rotation, but if it was only 1 of 4, it would probably get annoying.

Good times...

Another gamer was aside of me and muttered to his wife 'Well, its off to Walmart for us, they don't have sh__ here' .. lol, my sentiments exactly.

I agree. And I hated being blown up by Starfire's Death Grenade.
Especially those three times in a row.
I will be glad when I get that unlock too.
