More people than 40?

Recommended Posts

Is 40 seriously max players?

I thought it would be like 100 or something :O

I mean even Project Reality supports up to 64 players. And is the only way to play...Co-op...no Person vs Person?

Depends on what mission makers provide and what server can handle.

We have a 50 slot mission on one of our servers.

There are PvP missions around

Yes. But the most full server I see now is 40/40...

Well I've been on a server with more than fifty players on it. Now some mods might have a limit of 30 or 40 but that's not the game's real limit. There are other threads on the Internet that say that both ARMA1 and ARMA2 have no real limit except what the server can handle so a game with more than 128 players is theoretically possible. Such a server would need a LOT of cpu power and Internet bandwidth though.

ArmA2 allows for more than 40 players. Our current hosting service allows for up to 64.

I've played a 45v45 PvP match in the first ArmA. We'll definitely see stuff like it in ArmA2. Just that the communities/clans with the most powerful servers need to switch to ArmA2, which I don't think they'll do quite yet. They are probably still waiting for more people to get the game, to test and evaluate the capacity of their servers in ArmA2, and to design and test new missions specifically tailored for ArmA2.

Hold out a few weeks more and you'll see more and more powerful servers pop up.

Hi all

Most the big Clans are still building their servers for ArmA II.

Give that another week or so ;)

Then they have to install and test them.

They also have to make and test the missions and that will take a few weeks.

So say mid to late July and we should be seeing 100 Player servers.

We will probably start to see 64 player Berzerk! servers fairly soon a little bird told me.

Most public servers will still be in the 20 to 32 player range, though there will be a few 64 player public Berzerk servers, it is usually only clan servers that run to 100 plus players and most are locked and hidden to keep the numpties out.

Kind Regards walker
