16 players in multiplayer?

[Viceman]

Are there actually a 16 players multiplayer? Or is it just like in Fow "There are possibility to have 16 players, but the game maps have only 8" thingie? 8)

16 players is the maximum and good playable... with OutfronA1.

So you have played it with actual 16 players? Do you (or anyone else) has some screenshots from these fights? It would be nice to see the big action. Are the maps bigger than Fow maps?

[Kettenhund]

Yes i have played Outfront A1 (russian version) with 16 players on 3 new maps (500x500) with good performance. But remember, MoW final is OutfrontA1 + OutfrontA2 for western countries. And the performance of OutfrontA2 (closed beta) is actually 30-40 percent better as OutfrontA1. So you can aspect big battles on 500x500 maps with MoW final without any performance problems.
If you want to play on really big maps like 1500x1500 or bigger you must play our modification SoE2.

There were some screenshots of this in one of the developer updates, but I can't remember which one.

The performance is very much improved in Outfront A1 and I guess as Kettenhund says, It would be even better in Men of War!
Driving through buildings with vehicles wont give you the same crappy lag as in Faces of War!
I think Best Way/Digtialmindsoft gonna Win 100% with Men of War! :D

tell me one thing...

I have a ahtlon x2 4800, 2g kingston 800mhz and a 8600gt and in FOW single player my fps is like 50+ (everything on max)

but when i go multiplayer my fps go down for like 10....

is it because this game is like age of empires 2? (everyone have the same fps of the most lagged player in the server)

i think thats how it works, because once i lost the connection with the rest and in the middle of a fight that i was with 7 fps, my fps jumped to 60 ( the soldiers keeped fighting , i just lost my connection)

do this happen to you too?

[Orrie]

Maybe those your playing with have a slow Internet Line?

[Viceman]

Somehow i just feel cautious about 16 players multiplayer until i see some real footage from actual gameplay with 16 players in it. :baseball:

Are there any improvements with that problem what FOW has? That the game runs slow on everyplayer if theres a one laggy player in multiplayer?

What to say ... :"The game will deliver a “persistent” experience for online gamers, letting players build up their characters from private to general through multiplayer cooperative missions, gameplay modes, and PvP combat. No other details were announced."
