    256 players?

    i remember seeing servers that supported 256 players when the demo first came out, however they disappeared for some reason. i was wondering if the retail version supports this many players, either through a server side hack of some support or some kind of CVAR?

    They were removed from the serverlist by EA. That was the "blacklisting" thing. Eventhough blacklisted, they still work, just don't appear.

    If anyone has some IPs, please post them!

    EDIT: It was a change in the python scripts that allowed this, so yea, server side hack.

              I wouldn't want to imagine the lag on 256 players. Sometimes with 64 is awful!

                  yup. I think JT's engine is laggy to begin with.

                  As for LAG, It depends on the server and its network connection.

                  A dual 3.8 Zeon (both dual core), 12.5GB RAM, 74GB Raptor 10,000RPM HD, running 64 bit with 64bit windows and a 100Mbit internet connection would probably not lag to bad.

                  But then again, you would.

                    256 players?? That would create some astronomical scores by the end of the map.

                      yeah go and buy joint ops if wasting money on an old (and not particularly good) game seems like a good way to spend an afternoon lol

                      - and there were'nt that many 100 player servers out there..... and the lag in that game

                          I have been working on a server mod where you can host a regular server that can hold up to 128 players. It is nearly complete and I should have a working version finished today. I will post it up on http://tavubf2.tripod.com/ when I complete it, right now there is a test version up there, but it doesn't work properly. First of all it has to be ran on the server computer, and secondly, it only changes the number displayed in the server listing to 128 players, but when more than 64 players join up it will say the server is full.

                          I just found a solution to this problem and I am working on creating a replacement server that supports up to 128 players. I should have that up on this webpage this afternoon.

                              i would love more than 64. ea said that bf2 would have 128 players supported anyway
