Yes, we were. As long as people don't get into vehicles or put more than 6 people in a squad we're golden.

We have our second server (different machine) set up with the same settings.
Its not an official test or administrated in any way. Just to check if this machine is ready for same tests in the future too.

By soldiers I meant including kit geos which I would assume is of higher count together than a weapon. I thought most of the 3p weapons were being optimized anyhow.
I've been thinking, I don't know much about models but does the game load the tri's on the right side of the weapon(mostly invisible for 1st person)? if it does we might reduce tri's on that side as they're only seen in 3rd person. I've noticed weapons in cod 4 don't even have a modelled right side, just a texture.
Its been around since cs
It does however completely limit what the animator can do with the gun and/or future changes to the animation.

You guys rock.
I'm sure you fellows have this worked out, but with 128 players and more vehicles, won't this break the dynamic-object limit?

Yea I thought I'd saw a decrease in FPS for me as well. My machine can just about run 64 players on some maps on Medium. So lets hope it wont be to killer when this gets doubled. Or that when its officially part of the new version I have my new machine ready ^_^
Still, this is wonderfull news

We're well aware of these types of issues, don't worry, we'll figure out a way .

AM, would you consider it a good idea for any mappers currently working on maps to avoid destructable objects unless completely necessary until the results of this test is clear?

Wow. Amazing. Are the devs willing to comment on how they overcame this hurdle? Or tutorial to help other mod teams/mods?

The right side of the gun is often seen though when reloading your rifle so making it flat will not work, I'm interested though if the new problems can be fixed and if we can have a solid server performance with 128 players in PR, infantry only if there is no other option.

inf only would make 128 players obsolete,since proper inf fights can be done realisticly in even 16v16.
this amount of players makes for much better combined arms warfare tough

It's already worked well without much trouble as long as they can solve the vehicle issue, it should be awesome.

Interesting work.
Might be an idea to aim for 100 players instead of 128. Might just relieve the pressure a bit.
