Im sure this has been asked before, but in your opinions, what is the best number of players for a good game?

-Rubeus

Death is lighter than a feather, Duty heavier than a mountain.

I think I remember reading somewhere that it is 5vs5 or 8vs8 as the minimum.

They've said around 14, but I would fancy a 20 player one.

As long as they didn't cap the max number of people i'd expect you'll eventually seen 32 player servers.  Wouldn't that be insane?

Personally, I've found 18-22 to be the ideal number of players in a game. Keeps things lively

-Slappy

More the better. Me thinks 16aliens vs 16 marines in relatively big map would really make a nice battle. Bases are never completely alone and you have to watch out your back even more  

Minimum:  4v4.  5v5 on NS_Nothing or NS_Caged.

Good:  8v8

Upper limit: ~11v11 - beyond this, it can get pretty hectic for a commander.

Heya JediYoshi, I played Specialists with you yesterday

Isn't the idea basically to make it hecktic for a commander? I want to just see a 16 on 16 game of this. The trailer makes me antsy.

Well, the commander should be fun...

And trust us, I've been antsy for this mod since.. God knows how long.. check my join date.

gah i couldnt be a commander, im just too good at following orders
plus im not very good at taking care of other things, i once had a pet rock die on me

I'm more of the "here are your troops/equipment, win the battle" commander than "here is all the money, equipment, troops, weapon specs, and upgrade ideas. Win the WAR."

So yeah, sign me up for Squad Commander.

I bet you will probably see the largest servers be around 20 to 24 people.  I'm going off of DoD to come to that conclusion.  That size isn't very expensive.  Plus, on dod anything above that makes, me at least, take a decent hit on my ping.

I just dont see how this mod wont lag EVERYone out... its so... pretty and stuff...

You may take a hit to your frame rate but i'm sure they have tweaked the game to help with lag.  I have no fear of lag.

I only have 128 ram but i do use the program EndItAll2 to shut down all needless programs before i play games.  I have found that helps.

I've got a 1.6 Celeron, 256 Ram, GeForce 4, and DSL, and I still can lag hard. PH34X0rZ LAGX0RZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111

A Celeron.

I feel..  dirty.
