Is there any way PR will ever have 128 player servers?

Post by NoxNoctum »

Just wondering... I think especially on the AAS maps it would help tremendously. So many times on AAS the battlefield just feels... empty. Normally, you've got 1/3, maybe even 1/2 of the team tied up in support roles which leaves you with maybe 3 infantry squads, 1 of which is usually screwing around. Kashan is probably the worst for this. Sometimes you might even only have two infantry squads.

Insurgency works great, the maps are a bit smaller, the action is very intense (usually, Korengal is a bit slower), and there are usually far less vehicles, which means teams are usually more like 4-5 infantry squads.

If servers were 128 players, with the same number of vehicles, it would make for some MUCH better combat IMO. Instead of 2 apcs, a tank, a couple choppers and 2-3 infantry squads you'd have 2 apcs, a tank, a couple choppers and 8-9 infantry squads. Basically it would feel much more like a company size battle, instead of a random skirmish with a few vehicles and infantry running around getting shot.

If 64 players is hardcoded, is there a chance PR would ever switch engines? I think it'd be worth it to up the player limit.

128 server has been suggested before and i think the devs said there not going to work on it BUT... there is a server with 120 (its somwhere around those hundreds) just type in reality big in to the server finder and you will probaly find it.

It doesn't work. It has been tried numerous times. EA/DICE will never patch it to have 100+ players. Thread needs locking.

So can you answer my second question?

Ever considered moving to a new engine?
