quick one

ok quick question, why have the servers went to 16/16 ?

i know people were worried about the voice comms making them more laggier, but ermm Demon still have 20/20 servers and these are fine, as are the Barrys servers,

it was hard enough trying to get in when it was 18/18, but now, bloody hell

why dont you make all the servers 16/16, even the 12/12 servers

quick one on new maps,

De_Storm - Great map, ppl have to give this a chance
De_Torn - huge maze, must be the biggest map ever for CS, not to good
De_Survivor - looks nice, not to good on the old FPS, aint really played it to much yet.

apart from that, voice comms will be cool when ppl get over ther shyness, will be handy.

i love the hitbox's getting some tremendous scores

they've gone to 16 cos lots of ppl griping about their pings.apparently 1.3 demands 30% more cpu from the server than 1.2.
must say it's ok for me , but there ya go

jobbie the new cs requests more processor power hence 4 servers on a box running with 18 players now demands a lot more power than cs1.1 hence a preformance issue of high pings e.t.c until they were dropped to 16 players (until valve bring out the new server patch)

the 12 player servers are running at many players as they can without impacting performance.

Again it's down to having high playernumbers and bad lag or lower player numbers with better servers. I'd know what I'll perfer...

Can VC be active on at least one FF server?

 

[old.jobbie]

yes i know what your saying SAS,

me personally cant tell any difference in pings, yes on the new maps, but like i said before, these are huge detailed maps, so they are bount to be laggier than say Dust2

ok, ill just have to start playing the 12/12 servers too i guess.

 

[SAS]

I'll update you when the new server side cs patch is out. Hopefully we'll have them 18 player servers back :}

 

[old.jobbie]

ok cheers M8y,

just the 18/18 servers are so bloody popular, im too impatient to wait for long periods, need me frags

and the 12/12 servers are ok, but seem to more popular for HPB's, not having a go at HPB's but us lpb's do have a ping advantage, bit unfair for them.

i went on once and i was the only LPB

Jobbie Storm is awful, not for playability but for lag.

See what happens to the toher server ports on a box when one of the ports starts running de_storm....ouch.

Survivor is nearly as bad.

Torn is actually a really small map, it suprisesme the amount of epople that havent discovered how to navigate it.

Oh and Valve in all ther wisdom seem to have removed sky clipping from all the maps. Nice one valve just increase teh laggyness and map swimming ability of all teh maps.
