First off, the ability to vote kick someone is a best case scenario. I don't actually know any MM systems with that in place. Second of all, if the admins are AWOL, then the server will most likely be empty. Not only that, but if someone with a bad connection joins a dedi server, he does not ruin the connection of the other players. They all still have fine connections, because they are communicating with the server, not the shit connection kid. He is the only one with a piss poor connection.


Doesn't really make much of a difference...?
Cooperative and Competitive multiplayer games have different requirements to be fun. Generally, to be fun, a cooperative game needs the maximum allowed players, while competitive multiplayer does not.
