How Many Players Do U Want?

homerx · April 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">in a NS game</div> when joining a server, how many players would u like in it? minimum? maximum?

for me... i like the minimum to be 14 (7vs7) and the maximum 24 (12vs12)..... the other 32 player 16vs16 just laggs too bad

do the LGSO style

what is this LSGO? a server perhaps? what is the IP?

Personal Opinion:

anything under 12players unbalances the server for aliens
anything over 18players unbalnces the server for marines.

However its not how many players you have, its how good they are.

I have played on pub 32player servers and won as aliens,
and similarly on small servers as marines.

Its the people, the teamwork, the skill and the communication that wins the game.

I like 6v6 - 8v8. The teams are large enough that the res system doesn't favor one side over another.

I like going alien on a 20+ server for a challenge.

for me it comes down to the lag

Jabba_The_Hunt · April 2003

I prefer the largest server I can find with a ping < 200, if the new server code really does halve the cpu strain, then we might see a 64 player server <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>, that would be cool.

LoboLeal · April 2003

I prefer servers from 14 to 20 players for balance issues.

PseudoKnight · April 2003

HL only supports 32 players as far as I know.

Ryse_Slade · April 2003

I do not care about high pings or any balancing issues (These are going to change anyways... I hope so at least <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>)

Less than 14 players are just a waste of time IMHO (!). The maps are fine for 8vs8 til 13vs13 (at least this is the maximum number of players I played with). Less players result in sort of group tactics gameplay. If I like to play something like that I play CS.

Apart from this it depends on the game you want to play. I think clan matches and public games are different.

Looking at the size of the maps I would say 8vs8 (or 9vs9) for clan matches and something around 10vs10 for public games.

At least less than 7vs7 means *me left the game*.

Between those numbers is good for me too <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
Sometimes i join in to a 24 player server and i play on alien side. Usually we lose, but when we won.... that feels great <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I have played couple 2vs2 games. We had a deal, marines doesn't use sieges and aliens are only allowed to use gorges and onos <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> Those games were pretty good, marines lost but it wasn't too easy for aliens.

homerx · April 2003

even CS has 128 player servers... i think those extra slots are only for observers... notice the big eyeball icon beside the server names?

Jabba_The_Hunt · April 2003

actually I hadn't thought of that, when I think of it allthe 64/128 servers I've seen have been HLTV servers, maybe half life doesnt support more than 32 players?

pardzh · April 2003

14/16

Catpoker · April 2003

i like 7v7 - 9v9 (as of now)

when 32 players are balanced i will be there <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

the more the mairrier

BlackMagic · April 2003

6v6 8v8 is my fav

eve_playerone · April 2003

128 = hltv

Mindmeldme · April 2003

chuckles...I had a lot of fun on the few 30 player max servers i found...lagy but intersting. I try to find about 20-24 if I can. Enough people where if they are good you can have a lot of fun. Enough marines to do some damage when I comm and enough aliens to (hopefully) hold of the marines for a good while.

Church · April 2003

6v6 is the most balanced. more is okay...less is boring.

Genesis · April 2003

8 vs 8
