CS: Source BETA Max Players

[sardiax]

is there any point for 40 players?

stress-testing the engine i would think. look the recent discovery of the last player slot bug. there may be many bugs that will only occur with a number of people in the game.



i don't know if the max will stay at 40, because i think most servers/maps feel crowded with 20, but even if it does, its nice to have the option.

40 people on a map like dust is just a bit like cs_mansion or estate with 20 people.



but there can be (and there will be) much greater maps (with vehicles).

Valve can go fuck themselves, worst date keepers ever.



Im not usually one to get eaten by release dates but Valves so godam used todo-ing this and getting away its driving me insane.

yeah.. I'm pretty pissed at Valve too. Just.. not to the point where I would go insane over the delays.

Doom 3 would help a lot in your case.. (Doom3 = time filler till CS:S and HL2.. as Gameinformer puts it)

If you really wanted Valve to piss off, you wouldn't have been so upset as to post such an angry comment. The fact is that you feel scorned, which means you really do care about what Valve does. You and Valve just need to reestablish lines of communication. Work out your problems. You know you love each other.

So maybe we might get some 150 player servers with CS:S when it really comes out like Joint Ops. W00t w00t. I wouldn't mind seeing that. I seen 64 player CS stuff, from other gameengines, but man 150 players, now think of the possiblies :-D

Just to mention that few people will be able to afford bandwidth for max_40 players, so this is a good step in all cases. The size of maps can now be greater, so this will be a setup for them larger maps.

I mean, look at some of farcrys multiplayer maps theyre massive and could easily accommodate 64 players, though this would work best with say 3 teams or something, contradictory to the cs game

Hey, I love packed servers. So much craziness, a lot of people to kill (and a long waiting time for everyone to die/complete objectives :p ).

the original de_dust has 34 spawns

34 spawns dosnt mean they ment for you to spawn in all 34 spots

[Iced_Eagle]

BTW just a little FYI, the Source engine can support 256 players, which is a helluva lot and obviously there is no good mod out there that has that sort of gameplay (128 man swat team? get real) nor any server can handle it.



I like sticking to my 16 player servers :)

Unreal. They increase the spawn points to 40 and people bitch. There is not a single subject that can be brought up that won't make someone complain. It's kind of funny.

I think Cliffe should have fibbed and said: "Due to the awesome multi-player experience of ID's Doom3, we have shaved the spawn points in CS:S to 4 and will release de_piranesi instead of Dust for the BETA".

dust already had 40 spawns before cs:source



only you cant fill up the 8 others because of the current cs player limit

dust2 has 40 i think
