Masaq said a lot of numbers right there.... just makes me want 80 player server even more

haha i remember this.

128 players revisited!

Flik

This is threadophilia. Stop making it with the dead threads!

But those are some interesting numbers masaq threw out.

i wish we could exceed the 64 player limit.. have there been any developments in terms of breaking the limit?

Even if we could get 128 players on a server, would they be able to cope?
Even with 64 players, servers are cracking under the pressure and lagz are immense.

...mongol...

To tell you the truth guys most maps would be better with 80-100 people.

Basrah would be awesome 40 vs 40.

Kashan 50 vs 50.

Jabal 45 vs 45.

Really there's no need for 128 players.

well, the optimal number of player would be:

9 (# squads max) x 6 (players per squad) + 1 co = 55 per side

110 players on a server

Let's face it, we are never going to have 128-player PR servers.
New BF2 patch? I bet $100 this ain't gonna happen.

Technical limitations (hardcoded player numbers) and hardware limitations (as Masaq stated, the server load would be equivalent to running 4 x 64-slot servers!) will prevent this from ever happening with the BF2 engine. I blame the original poster for once again getting people's hopes up where there really is none.

This will be an administration nightmare!

still it isn't going to happen no matter how hard we wish, so long as the source code is in EA's hands
