There is such a thing as too big. I mean how big is the map going to have to be to fit all those people in there? And what about servers who still use 32 player limit. 32 players in a 10 squared miles map is not a good idea. I say 64 should be the most. Ever.

BF has this clever thing where the size of the maps adjust depending on the max player count set on the server.

I think the number of players should be hardware limited and the maps should be HUGE.
I liked the huge maps in the Delta Force game. It was a little more realistic when it took you 15 to 30 minutes to run to your sniping spot instead of just a few feet away.

Hey I just wanted to post this. I truely think if they ever did go with 128 players, it would turn out to be like Modern Warfare. I noticed if you have too many people, they will just spam fire and hope to hit something. Then it wouldn't be based on skill.

ever play a game called soldner: secret wars? id really like to try ARMA as it seems to use a very similar engine and environment destruction engine.

The maps were huge!!! i want to say they were 20 mile x 20 mile. REALLY sucked when you got shot down and werent killed. spent 15 minutes running back to action, or a farm house w/ tractor to steal.

im just stoked for this game period. FPS's lose their interest to me after a while( its always just shooting the guy in front of you) but this one seems intense, so lets go already !

Has Cain ever ran a 128 player server? I think the biggest one we have had has been 64 players

He used to run 40+ Counter-Strike and DOD Servers.
