Comment on Anons discuss PC vs console gaming
finestnothing@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoBattlebit remastered does 254 player matches (127 vs 127, not sure why they didn’t do 128 vs 128 but it’s close enough). It’s not a very popular game anymore, it was super popular at launch (80k+ players) but is down to peaks of 2k per day. I stopped playing because I’m not a huge fan of fps games, but I got a couple hundred hours in it before the fps fatigue hit me. It died fast (pretty easy to get banned by bogus reports, lack of dev communication, lot of unneeded and unfun nerfs, etc) but was a lot of fun while it lasted.

I was intrigued, so looked it up: they use an 8 bit integer for indexing the players (2/^8=256), and one slot is reserved for the server itself.
So that leaves 255/2 = 127 on both sides, the remaining one is not used.
