Are the maps built for 24 players? Will adding slots...

(Centurion) #1

I was reading the recent 'hands on" article over at IGN. http://pc.ign.com/articles/723/723487p1.html

Within they say that each team has up to 12 players. Yes, yes I’ve read in many other places here and elsewhere that just like many other games server admins can boost that if they think servers can handle it. I just don’t remember seeing 24 as the recommended cap. I thought it was more like 32?

So my question is 24 slots recommended? Is that new or has that always been what the maps were built for? Would raising that to say 40 just be too much gameplay wise (assuming you could do it bandwith and client system spec wise)?

Just wondering :slight_smile: I wish I was at Quakecon. :slight_smile:

There’s no recommended “cap”. They’ve said a thousand times that maps are being designed for 24-32 players. That’s the official number.

The rest we will only know when we get to play the game. It’s all speculation until then…

I’m fine with a maximum of 24 players. Anything over 32 is just chaos.

24-32 but no capped limit. This has been stated numerous times before.

Yes I know it’s been stated a bunch before but in the article it says that the maps were made for 24. I just wanted to see if there was some change recently.

doesn’t say the maps were made for 24, it says the game (at Quakecon) server was set for 24

Played 12 v 12 at Qcon was a blast. Could definitly handle more.

24-32. Probably depends on the map. No capped limit. for the millionth time.
