No way this can happen, or at least without nades, or only 1 nade per soldier with no possibility to reload.

I'm sure our dear friend tuia can patch the EXE to extend the limit to 150 players. I would definitely be interested in 75x75 matches on Aberdeen, or large naval matches on Midway.

Having CWs and such is nice, but if there are no players left to play then what's the point? Are you always going to war the same clans and teams? You will get tired of them after a while, let me tell you that.

Of course the new Origin population is still very inexperienced, but in 5 years or so, they will replace all the aging veterans that play "competitively" right now and that will have retired by then.

Even though I agree that most players on the 100+ player servers are not very bright, you have to admit that most of them are still learning the game, or took a break from it. You have to give them that.

Some large public servers which have been here for a while are populated with veterans that have played the game for years (SiMPLE, MoonGamers, etc). In a few years time from now the noobs on the Origin servers will have gained a bit more experience hopefully.

I think it's a good initiative to give the community large servers to play on. It's new and refreshing, people have always wanted them, and now the community has them. We should take advantage of that and use this new breakthrough to revive the game. Otherwise it will be nothing more than a memory.

Lag will always be there no matter what... it's just a question of finding a stable and willing host.

As for nades and expacks, they will be seriously limited because with that many explosions to handle the game will just crash to desktop.

Or Aberdeen with 250 tanks, how about that? The map could be modded to be even bigger than it is, but that would be pure carnage.

Largely populated servers are the backbone of BF1942. The public scene is still kicking because of SiMPLE, MoonGamers, Schindler's List and so on...

If we can somehow manage to make 128 player or even 150 or 200 player servers the new norm for this game, it could very well avoid an inevitable death for years to come. Think about it.

Obviously, necessary arrangements will have to be made for maps which aren't suited for such massive gameplay, and a special map rotation will have to be created. There's no way this can be done for Berlin and Stalingrad, as those maps are simply too small.

The biggest maps of the game (Aberdeen, El Al, Guadalcanal) will be ideal for this.

Most logical explanation to me. Or maybe it's the huge 100+ player servers that drew a sea of noobs into the game, which is good, because the public scene was starting to die.

I think that although PunkBuster is not guaranteed to stop all hackers, it certainly used to be the norm for most server hosts a couple of years back.

A server with PunkBuster will always be better than a content check off server where the client can modify basically anything he wants client-side.... not very wise.

And it doesn't matter if fewer people play on a PB server, because the few that will play on said server are hardened veterans most of the time, and having a few very good players sends a better image to the community than having a full, 64 man server full of texture and sound hackers IMO.

tuia, would you mind PMing me the PHP files needed to set up the statistics page please?

0 hours a week, too busy with school and work.

How are you not banned yet? Hmm.

It went offline for a day, so what, it'll be back today or tomorrow.

I'm just trying to help, but since you don't want to have it...

Remove the hud buddy.

How many play on the Xpacks server at peek hours?
