Player numbers

Yes the Meat Hook is setup as a 32 player server but did you know that some maps only have 20 spawn points?

I wonder what happens when you are the 21st player joining a 20 spawn point map? Can you join? Can you join but not spawn?

Hmmmm. Interesting.

Here's a list of maps/spawn points from Counter-Server:

You can only spectate if there are no free spawn points.  I lowered the limit to 24 the other day, do I now drop it to 20?

[Stryker]

nah, 24 slots seems the average, thats fine.

[Doorman]

24's good.

de_dust2.bsp  40

Jaysus !!!  40 people in de_dust2?  Yoi yoi yoi...... we should try that sometime just to reminid ourselves what the publics are like

TL.  

[sheepy]

we tryed to break the player tower record at i12 but it couldnt be done as, there is no standard map with enough spawn points to do it, and aparently the hl engin can only support a certain amount of people.

[OldBloke]

32 is the max.

There's a suggestion that dust2 was going to be a Quake3 map  :lol:  :lol:

[Dyamarda]

Mmmm... Dust 2 as a Quake 3 map, interesting. I wonder how many Spawn fraggers will delight in Dust 2 with a huge amount of players...  :roll:
