Quick poll, kinda curious. Do you think the player count is a little low and if so what would you like to see the count as?

Personally I find most of the maps to be very large for the player count. A boost to 140 would be ideal. Gives an extra three full squads and a tank roughly per team. Failing that the maps should be maybe only 60% of the width in my opinion.

What do you all think? Have the devs experimented with the player count and why was the arbitrary number of 100 selected?

Crazy how a PS3 game from 2010 can accommodate 256 players in a single match, but most high-end FPS titles are struggling to reach 100 players in 2021.

The game I am referring to is MAG, and I am still bitter as hell that they shut down the servers after 4 years and never had a follow-up game.

The amount of bandwidth needed for modern games is massive compared to the bandwidth needed to accomodate the 256 playes on the PS3. Its always a challenge, so comparing the two is slightly a skewed comparison.
