According to my clan's webadmin, I can set it to 600 specimens at once, but who has a server that will easily support that?

I was once playing with sandbox mode and had total 6x players on one server and put the value to 150. After those specimen started to pop out and we practically got steamrolled, ping was increased atleast 50% and FPS went under 20.

So unless people want to have laggy server and massive ****, having more than 6+ players (ok, 10 is still reasonable) and increasing active specimen in the map might result everyone complaining how ****ty and laggy the server is.

lol. I run out of ammo all the time when there are too many specimen. The map really has to be made to give you a fighting chance or its just slaughter.

It'd be fun to have a map where you can sharp shoot the hoard before it gets in the gate much like the UT assault map where you storm the beach. I'll have to play with that idea and see if it works.

I actually loves when you are outnumbered especially in CQC xD.
That's way more fun than winning whole game or dying in open area by some enraged fp.



@Topic:

I prefer 5-6 players at once...
With more it starts to be chaotic.

Why did you put 16 as a poll option? Seems completely random.


I used 16 mainly because it's the common server capacity I'm used to seeing, I considered 12 but a 16 player capacity would allow for 12. To make up for the other sizes I added the other which would cover 12 and even 32.

Because the poll is corrupt. It should only have two options. 6 or +6

6 and +6 would have been also been good, but it's not 6 and +6, it's 6, 16 and other. As for the poll being corrupt, you're silly :)

With that, what do you think is fair for perks on 6+ servers?

I said that because i think changing the offical game's players limit will be a lot of work for the developers, and because the default maps aren't really suitable for more.

I liked 12 slot servers, with level up of perk...
There is possibility of the unfairness in it for perk, but it was pleasant, was happy...
