lets hope this number can still grow

I woulda thought it would be more like 9vs9

Great news

I really do care for alot of players for crysis 2!! BF3 will have 32 vs 32 but will be less tactical than crysis becuz of all the people!!
It's better for crysis 2 to be 6vs6 for a different feel like a team game of Counter strike!!

ever try to be tactical in counter strike with 32 players? lol headshot respawn headshot!!

I woulda thought it would be more like 9vs9
yeah me 2. well 8v8 ain't bad I guess... still woulda wanted more for the larger maps.

Hopefully DLC will give larger maps + larger player count.

Oh btw, I'm so happy where the servers are located for GameServers. I live in Canada, Toronto, so the ping will be super awesome for me! I'm also fine with USA's servers located in Chicago, but I'm more happy that it's located in where I live, now I can't complain about the ping hah

Great news!! now lets hope that is true

Would prefer 9vs9 but i can live with 8v8

8v8 would be best for small map, but im going to miss that power struggle from crysis where everyone just play in one big map and be tatical. (so is vehicles even though Vtol is OP)

It's a very small increase. We are all of course hoping we can up the player slots and get some huge maps made with the editor.
It's true that it's a small increase, but you have to remember that the game is actually much more fast paced on pc. I tried the rooftops on xbox360 and I think 8v8 on that map on PC could actually work very well. Although to larger maps like pier 17, 12v12 would be perfect.

Some of the maps are actually quite big. They look like they could handle much more players than just 8v8... the more I think about it the more annoyed I get.

I could not find any info on gameservers.com regarding this. I have a Black Ops server, and would like to have a Crysis 2 server from them as well, but can you post a link to their website with this info please?

I woulda thought it would be more like 9vs9

maybe even 9.5 v 9.5 I was thinking at least 9.14159265

Im glad to hear it jumped a little.

Hopefully someone will make big maps(with more players) with the mod tools

8v8 and 9v9 sounds like a good number considering the size of the maps though.
