After about an hour I gave up (I was eating so I was happy to give it time) and that was only with 3 friends.

Personally they should allow a white list for other countries to host Mann Up servers similar to the Halloween thing.

other then that MVM mode is quite good fun. i like how they have added tower defence style game to TF2.

As far as I know the difficult is wholly dependent on the map and whether you’re playing on normal/advanced etc, and the number/strength of bots stays the same regardless of how many people are playing. Which seems stupid to me.

I have clarified it to refer specifically to the dramas when you try to queue up for anything with your friends in matchmaking.

you only join spectator if the server is full (i.e. 6 players already), just look for servers with 5 or less players

How does this help? ANy server that has players in it becomes locked to the lobby system, you can only join as a spectator. YOu can probably join an empty server and wait like….20 minutes..eww.

I agree, I tried the matchamking, saw it wanted me to wait 14 minutes, and used the server browser. If you have enough skills to type connect into the console, it’s not hard to find a server. But then I suppose this game mode is catering to people who can’t…
