    cod is not a 16v16 game. : maulla
    • It certainly is on some servers. It definitely won't be anymore, though, not after this. : duffman03
    • toggle

      16v16 does happen alot. But anywhere between 8v8 to 10v10 seems to be pretty normal on popular servers. : vHazardous

        And on this service, it'll probably top out at 8v8, and even then, it'll be lag-tastic. : carbontree
