128 player tests: Feedback and Observations

[Sidewinder Zulu]

Been busy with stuff, but these stories make me want to play again!

Anyone know when the next game will be? Tommorrow, perhaps? Or soon?

Defense at Barracuda was awesome. Very interesting to see the holes in the lines being filled almost immediately. However, if the enemy had bothered to hammer that place with sustained mortars I doubt the flag would have been held that long.

Yea I was wondering about that as well during some point of the game. Mortars would have fixed it easily!

Keeping your squad together is quite hard, organising 7 guys in a firefight and transport for number 8 to reach you is pretty complex.

Its not bad with experienced players you can trust as they'll make their own arrangements to reach you, several times i've waved down an APC and gone "I need a lift to Sq X" and they let me hitch.

But it is quite difficult, though the only solution to this would be to decrease the rally point recharge maybe.

So now you're aiming for 250 players? o_O

does anyone else think the rounds dont last as long with 116 players as the team with less teamwork gets rolled over alot faster.?

Taking server hardware limitations out of the picture, is there a hard limit to the # of total players?

Yes there is. Im looking em atm and server could be very unstable when its running on 250 player mode.

[Rico]

Server is at 100/250. Gotta see how far this goes

[Neighbor Kid]

if thats figured to work then i would think most PR maps would have to be resized 250... whats that 125 vs 125 thats insane.. what are squad sizes at that?

[Rico]

Server crashed but filling up again.

Squad limits is at 13 members. 13x9 squads=117. With a commander, there will be 8 players without a squad per team as it stands?

I don't think game play would ever really work with so many players, but its an interesting test to see the limits.

I really like the 128 player server. It makes PR even more realistic and there are way more INF squads. And the Vehicle and Infanterie balance is way better in my opinion. I didn?t got any lagg yesterday and if you got a good working squad, you can have the most fun and realistic gameplay you can have in any game right now. Looking forward to more 128p servers.
Keep it up!

"JESUS FRICKING SITH THAT OPERATION BARRACUDA ROUND ON CHINA. O_O PURE UNFILTERED EPIC.

Defense of Supply fort demonstrates how this game should be played. Feel free to comment on that if you were there. Somebody recorded, right?"

Awesome defence, awesome teamwork and A LOT OF supressing fire! One moment approx 15-20 dudes next to me were firing fully auto in same direction at same time. i wonder what did the enemy feel at this moment , lol
And respect for US team for that last desperate assault . it was E P I C

btw, i didnt experience any lag at all, despite both teams were at almost same spot, which is also very pleasant.

Yeah I was in the Squad who was trying to Bombrush the Tower at Airstrip.
It was one of the best games i have ever played

[Lt.Dan_991]

Finally got in on a full server and it was a blast. Definitely going to be hard playing on stock 64 player servers. Hopefully this can become the new norm.

There should probably be a change in allowing people to pick up kits from the opposing side, since it doesnt display that they are friendly and they look exactly the same, i accidently killed one of my teammates and got kicked for it, there is just no way to tell if theyre friendly or not, dont really know if theres much that can be done bout that tho.

They're working on it.

Protip: don't shoot at enemies they might be friendlies.

[Soppa]

Try open your map every now and then so you know where friendlies are moving.
Also keep on eye about targets behavior.. if he looks you and then turns away, he might be friendly.
Also you can ask on mumble if there is friendlies on that direction.

But I think best way really is to know where friendlies are moving. I'll check my map like once in every two min or so and I cant even recall last time when i've killed friendly.
