<div class="IPBDescription">About approximate numbers per team</div>i was just wondering, how many people per team would be "suggested"?

counter-strike sets the max at 10 vs 10, and day of defeat leaves it up to the mapper to make enough spawn points.

i know ns is a fpRTS, so huge battles might detract from "strategy," so what are the numbers ns is aiming for? (and will there be a limit or will it be mapper-dependent?)

The mapping guidelines specify 32 player starts for the ready room, 16 marine spawns, and 16 spawns around each hive.  So, at least in theory, NS maps are <i>capable</i> of holding a 32 player game.

Suddenly pictures late game scene of 16 lvl 5s. <!--emo&:0--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'><!--endemo-->   AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

16on16 = 2fps(minimum in hl)

but 16on16 is nothing i recommend not even for big maps that NS has <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

btw, just to add this, on CS you can have 32 peeps per map if you want, you just need to play maps that are 32 players each or convert oterhs to 32 players, italy is 32 players:)

A 15 on 15 game on de_dust feels like being in a swarm of ants.  (Yes, I've tried it.)  I know most RTS's need a lot of units but I hope it doesn't come down to being that disorganized and chaotic.  Still, it'd be interesting to play, I'm sure the commander would have his hands full.

ive played dust with 16v16, yout gotta have fast reflexes or you get swarmed by the enemy, i think NS shoudl be 16v16, that way we could all play:P

That's actually the problem IMAO. There is only so much that one person can keep in mind at the same time, and while your average pixel soldier doesn't complain after getting fragged because he didn't recieve the needed orders, real players <b>will</b>.
