Battlefield 1943 is a server/client game and not peer-to-peer. That means we set up the servers and pay for them. It's just not possible for us to have an unlimited amount of servers running which means we need to find some balance. So if two chaps start a game just to LOL around that means there is one sever less available for a full set of people who wants to play a proper game. This is the reason we set a 8 vs 8 limit as we still want to provide clans with a possibility to set up their own games.

For a fifteen dollar downloadable game I think that's a pretty fair deal. So does Gordon, and my guess is that that's why he gets a little peeved off when people just demand the moon. I know because it ticks me off a bit too. We're really trying to give you a good game at a decent price point and there are limitations to what we can do.
