There's a few other problems with Aran than mere crowding: Firstly, the map is not terribly well balanced for large crowds, as there are a very large number of very ****ty starting positions out on the peninsula. With 8 people, somebody's going to end up being screwed by getting stuck there with 3 other equally screwed suckers. While the map is great and has a lot of story in single player, it's badly balanced for multiplayer.
You're all welcome to discover this for yourself, though. After all, discovering which maps suck for what conditions is a part of being a newbie.
Just don't say I didn't warn you!
