Due to the way computers work, it'd have to be 16 v 16 max, or 32 players.
Study your binary children =)
And yes, this needs to happen.
Really? What exactly is the reason for that? if you don't feel like spamming up the thread send me a PM.
Binary, which is how all computers work on the most basic level, works on an exponential system of 2s. Exponents of 2 are the only units of measurement on computers. Memory is the best example: 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB and so on. Also, 1GB is in fact 1024MB. There is always extra tagged on, and it's always an exponent of 2. This also applies to online games, if I'm not mistaken. You'll notice that most games have a maximum of 16, but if they go above, it ususally hits 32 as the next landmark, 64, and so on from there. MAG, the largest multiplayer game to date is going to have 256 players, an exponent of 2.
There you go =)
so i was playing call of duty the other day....doing ground war...strangely enough it was 9 on 9 (max number of players) hax maybe?
Of course this can be adjusted. I bet the maximum players for CoD is actually above 9v9, but the game would lag like crazy if it was supported.
