Is it weird that I mostly play solo?

[Juicy]

Just wanted to see if anyone else mostly just plays solo in this game, I do it mostly because of the ping since my internet connection is not too good, but was wondering if anyone else does it and for whatever reason.

[Leon]

nope, some players played solo since the start of EA, thats how some people just like to play. but.. when they play multiplay it is known from their way of playing. xd

I prefer solo because when playing multiplayer there's a lot of players and Zeds, and everyone is everywhere and it's total mess.
I mostly play solo, sometimes with one friend.

if you play solo only, why play only normal and hard maps?

in MP these diff are already easy, in solo must be child play, i would get bored in 1 match.

On solo suicidal is normal and HoE is hard.

Yes I too, mainly solo. There are way too many benefits for solo play and way less chaotic.

Hardly do I ever play with others or join servers.

I would say about 9/10 of my games would be solo.

I really thankful tripwire implemented solo match; because my net suck in Malaysia. Everytime I start a MP match the ping gone up crazy, so ya I too spend solo only haha.

Have played some maps recently with higher/high ping between 100-300+. Can´t say its unplayable even the 300+. Only class was the demolitianman ( in my case woman) that got a hard to control delay. Exposions and high ping are not the best to do.

And no, it´s not weird to play solo in normal/hard difficulty only. If you like to fire all over the place having nice grafics and sounds all is good. Have fun. That is what games are for - to have fun..

It's your game: play it how you want.

Play solo a good bit myself, mainly because I've bad internet so finding servers with a decent ping can be tricky. I can also pause the game whenever to answer phone or whatever so there's that. Most times I play multiplayer are with a few friends but aside from that I mainly play solo.

I find the usual 6p camping game to be MUCH easier than solo. Sit in one spot, click mouse button. Especially with zerks and medic on the team. yawn

Solo with a slow perk (support/commando), can't camp, can't outrun FP squad, no medic to save you. Makes those 6p HoE for total beginners games seem like cake. honestly.

solo is easier but more boring
in MP you meet all types both good and bad
trolls, veterans, newbies, eltists, etc.
Also MP has a better aspect of letting certain perks play better, like demo, sharpshooter, and especially commando

i play solo every now and then because of time and whatnot, i wish it was of similar difficulty than MP, no idea why they decided to make it so much easier.

[Leon]

lately been meeting alot of boosted players have hundreds of hours but 0 awareness, or like to throw games at wave 9 or 10. when medics and zerks die here and there and im stuck as firebug carrying the game, i dont even know why i stay in MP and play, be4 i used to play solo to get my achievement for a bloody map such as FARM, only map in kf2 i literally dislike... did it solo and never again.

HoE Max spawned enemies at one time:
1p = 12
3p or more = 32

6 players deal with a maximum of 32 zeds. So on 6p game that is 5.3 zeds per player, max. Solo player is dealing with 12 at a time.

6 player games you can have a mix of several abilities (crowd control, big zed killer, tank, healer, etc). Solo, you get one of those.

It is actually myth that 6p is any more difficult than solo. No offence, but this myth is only perpetuated by people who play camp-n-click 6p player games and want to believe they are elite or something.

EDIT: and if you go with a server that allows 32 players or whatever then it gets progressively easier. No one denies that 32 player is stupidly easy. As a general rule, after 3 player, the more players the easier it is.
