Who's putting up a 64 man server?

Anyone gonna be hosting a 64 man server? Please only do so if you are really sure you can handle it :'(
I'd love to have a go at 64 man, perhaps get an offical server (meaning we can be sure the server would be ok).

 

what about a low resource 10 tanks per team 64 server? would that go at an acceptable rate on the current server hardware used?

 

Try spawning at the start of the match.

 

I like the idea of a 10-tank server. The extra infantry combat would certainly make things... Interesting.

 

32 vs 32 with 10 tanks would be awesome. I love infantry battles.

 

Ah.. The love of nuke tanks then.. :D

 

Yeah, HE and nukes will be a bit too powerful then.

 

10 tanks per 32 man team?

you would get 16 people camping the vf waiting for an opportunity to get a tank instead of "exciting inf combat"

 

I think the maps would have to be modified to allow for a greater amount of tickets (200 ticket map = depleted after everyone dies about 6.25 times).

 

Yeah. We just played a map. Urban chaos or something. The tickets went out in a few minutes. Those CTF maps should either be unlimited tickets or a lot when playing on a 64 player server.

 

apparently you've never had a 5 hour urban chaos match when there were 500 tickets or what not and no bleeder.

also, solution would be a ticket multiplier similar to the res multiplier I think. That or let servers set the ticket multiplier.

Just remember that this will likely create 5 hour matches. Fun if you have the time ^_^

 

Try traders with 64 ;D

 

urbanchoas isn't that great a map anyway on high numbers, the sooner its over, the better

 

Urbanchaos badly needs a redesign. The PUG match on that map was a clusterfuck of walls and lag (48 players + 42 engies = mega wall spam). The most fun I have on that map is when I APC rush the enemy flags and end it within 5 minutes.

 

I loved clusterfuck matches. They're like World War I without the mud and dysentery.

 

<fixed>

 

64 players would be epic, even with 10 tanks per team.

The community has a max of about 80 players ever on, usually around 60. When you have servers of max 35 or 40 you cut the community in a lopsided half; no one wants to play the second server with 25 players in it, so they play other things. I really hate to say it but servers with limits under 40 players really don't help us and aren't worth much.

 

G4TC's server has 64 slots

I wonder if we can get smooth gameplay with that many slots. Hopefully it won't require two or three quad core processors...

 

If I remember correctly, 64 slot servers are a goal, lets achieve it now.

 

If we can reach that goal by limiting the amount of vehicles, go for it !
Trying it out won't hurt anyone.
