1. How many players can participate at www from one server ?
2. What’s player limit per map, if is any?
3. Can players from one server outnumber others for exapmle 100/10/20 on one map, so players from other servers can’t join map because they have queue ?

Hi Dina,

Here are some answers for you:

1. We don’t release this number but this answer can be derived from the answer to your second question. i.e. total players = map cap * 4

2. There is a per-map player limit but we don’t release this number either, though it’s possible to infer from observation. This is especially true now that culling is gone.

3. The per-map player limit is also per-team. Each team has an independent limit and players from one team cannot ever prevent players from the other teams from entering a map.

I’m sure that’s more cryptic than you’d like but that’s the information I can release.

As far as I know we’ve never officially announced a map cap number. I could be wrong, of course (happens all the time!), but I believe our policy has always been to not release those numbers.

The limit is the same for every team on a map. So if the limit for any team is X then the map limit is 3X. Make sense?
