Higher Number of Max Players?

[KevinLancaster]

Do you guys think that AoS should have a higher number of maximum players? I mean, sometimes it still feels empty in places even with 32 players, especially in large maps. I think it should be able to support up to 64, like the Battlefield series. It can't be that difficult to change the coding to allow for that number of players in the next release (I assume it's just one variable), and if it is that sounds like rather inefficient code.

There have been threads on this before, it was pretty much a unanimous yes.

please read my sig
and yes id love to have 64 people,but i think its gonna take a little while to get it,if we ever get it

[KevinLancaster]

When I tried searching it up it said the terms were too common, and when I tried to use Google to search the site not too many results showed up.

Yeah, it's been discussed before on the old forums. I support the suggestion, it would be nice to have the option to have more players, and anyway, with 32 players there's still a lot of empty space on the map. I'd be more strain on servers I guess, but the option is nice.

[Paratrooper]

A 64-man rampage sounds good, though this idea should be complemented with even larger maps.

[MrHank]

Most maps are actually way too big. You cut off rows the first and last 2 rows and nobody would miss them.

Er, a lot of servers have difficulty with 32. I'd be fine with the OPTION for up to 64~72 but few would exceede 32 I imagine.

[KevinLancaster]

Yes, pretty much what I'm asking for is the option to go to 64. Whether or not people will create 64 player servers is up to them to decide.

I agree with this, and sometimes even on flat DM maps it can feel a bit empty in places.

[Tigershield]

More options are always great,because they are options. I say Yes.

Maybe not as a default setting, but yeah, it would be cool. 32 is a pretty solid number right now, but on bigger maps it might be kind of cool. Might even make territorial control a bit more entertaining.

[TheGrandmaster]

Am I the only one that thinks that most maps on servers would become absolute mayhem with 64?
Think of GHAssault with 64, Pinpoint, Hallway.. most island maps would get swamped. The maps like gen and Mesa, perhaps Normandie, would do alright with it.
If it is going to be implemented, what about only extending it a bit and see what happens? e.g. 44 players, 22 a side.
If the maps can handle it, perhaps increase in a later release.

[Enari]

Why not let the serverowners set the playerlimit?
Haveing 64 as an option would be good, but that dosn't mean that you have to go with 64.
