Hmmm… Didn’t watch the video but this needs some more explaining from the devs. Could it have been a slip of the tongue or an item which wasn’t explained in detal??

(Strogg) #3

I suggest you see the video and then make you comments. It kinda lame to make comments about something you never have seen. :bash:

(ToonarmY) #4

and i suggest you play the game before criticizing it. Maybe a 24 max is a good thing :smiley:

(kamikazee) #5

Let me be clear: 24 max is no problem for me, but it is quite the opposite of what was told/speculated until now. Some more info could be nice if this is the maximum supported by the engine or if this is just the maximal player count before the games turns into total madness.
If this topic is not about just that, please change the title.

I have my reasons for not watching the video, namely conserving bandwidth. My ISP limits the amount of bandwidth and it’s painfull to surf at speeds lower than your old modem should I exceed this limit.

I suggest you pay a few bux more and get a better internet provider. The days of limited bandwidth by 98% internet providers in the U.S. ended over 5 years ago. That way you can make comments about things you have actually have seen! :smiley:

Cough Europe Cough

And I’m not commenting nor judging any of this, I’m asking for information.
Would you be so kind to give it to me or do you stay with your point of “watch it yourself”?

(Strogg) #8

Well I guess it sucks to be you huh? Sorry hehehe I dont have a script of the video to give you so I guess you are just out of luck sorry. :bored:

Here is a Quote:

How many players can it support?

24 player is the max. We have done extensive testing with the perfect amount of players and everything is tailored towards 24 players. We don’t want have lots of players, we want good experience and more players doesn’t always mean this.

Here is the link that states it.

they have always said that it would be designed for 24 players but the server would not be capped at that. I did’nt get the impression that they have changed there minds with any of that.

(kamikazee) #10

Ah, thank you sir. I have seen that site before, though I wondered if this video elaborated more on the idea.

The two sentences in the article “24 is the max” and “balancing for perfect amount of player” confuse me, as if they changed their mind about the capping. Of course, that’s up to them then.

(Strogg) #11

All I can say is the video confirms what the article sez :smiley:

The Video Sez 24 and The article sez 24. It Is What It Is!

The article was just posted 2 days. Looks like they changed their minds!

here is the link again:

24 player max. shouldn’t be an issue. IIRC that was the max. limit for RtCW and we used to have some intense matches. The key is to design the maps with well envisioned battle zones to keep the players engaged.

@kamikazee - the interview also eluded to the game programming is taking into consideration the wide variety of graphics cards in use and will take advantage of specific capabilities. Market release will be for PC, xBox, and PS3.

Great. I feel that at times 24 players per game is too much. But I’m probably in minority since I play W:ET and know what I’m talking about.

People who never played W:ET are welcome to complain.

I like the idea of 24 max players. I have played on other games server that had 50+ and it kinda suked. It was like playing DeathMatch In Quake. All it was is a kill fest. Not my kind of game. :smiley:

@kamikazee
I’v just watched the vid, twice to make sure
and nowhere in that vid does Locki say that 24 is the max
or that its locked at 24.
He explains that the maps have been designed for that amount.

As for the quote from the article… well its a quote…
and if it refers to the vid then its a mis-quote.

(RosOne) #16

Oh dear! There we go again :roll:

No one said it will be capped at 24

(kamikazee) #17

Sorry, but the article was rather fuzzy about it like I said before. And this topic’s title is not helping.

(murka) #18

why don’t ppl just watch the vid deeply and then say, just trying to criticize this and that. and… “capped at 24” sounds very stupid and i don’t think that anyone will make a cap as you can make a map that is designed for more and you have an expensive serv that enables 32 or 64 players.

#19

The guy who wrote the article at i30, misunderstood Paul.

Paul has said for over a year that server slots is unlimited.

Strogg: Perhaps you dont want to spread this myth of max 24 slots? Perhaps change the topic title?

The video at gametrailers doesnt say anything about server slots.
Server slots and mapdesign for 24-32 players is not the same thing.

one simple misunderstanding can destroy the earth…
