CSS 60 player servers

neocon · 31 Aug 2006 at 21:44

I like to play on servers with lots of players like

VIA 82.136.37.25:27015 (54 player)

There used to be one called Skybluegaming but it closed. Does anyone know of any others?

I like games with lots of other players but doesn't CSS become a game of luck with that many players :confused:

pretty much, tbh the only time I ever play aa server with above 8 players is if its a surf map, or zombie server

In CSS i much prefer max 10 v 10, usually more 8v8 though

God old Caesium, Bart and Skybluegaming.

They opened again but the other day I could not find it.

I was "Princess Dup" by the way.

CSS was way fun with 60+ players. It becomes a game of reflex. You need to use ears as well as eyes and fingers.

They're also great for a good ol' p00n nointeeeeeeee rush.

SBG was also great for custom maps. I prefer the custom maps with 60+ players.

I enjoyed playing on the skybluegaming server, if anyone finds out their new ip could you post it here please?

I remember seeing you on there Dup, didn't know you hung around here on OcUk too

In the meantme, I might give that 60player server a go!

I used to play on an NYC 64 player years ago, the trick is not to die in the initial rush.
Wait till the lemmings die and avoid any 'fish in a barrel' situation. It can be a lot of fun if you can near the top of the scoreboard otherwise its a pain waiting till the next round which is invariably a much longer wait.

thank god its a no-awp server

ukcs has 2 big servers, 64 and 46 I think.

18 vs 18 is my max, however i have played on a 126 player server before - not sure which one it was but it was mad!

I hate massive servers! More often than not 25% playing are laggy gits making the whole thing even worse. It just turns a tactical team-based shooter into an Unreal Tournament-style all-guns-blazing balls-in-the-wind insanity-fest where players just go ape-**** and hope for the best.

Wasnt that another game that went that high, I think 64 is the max on half life based games.

I played on the UK Cstrike servers when I used to play CS Source. Was a decent community at the time and well admined.

5 v 5 is where it is at but if you gotta/wanna play public then 12v12 should be the absolute upper limit.. NO SWEARING, READ THE FAQ that like..

My clan has 4 very good and busy servers.. Everyone welcome as always. Clans name is Irish Online Army.

193.93.44.42 - Deathmatch - 20 slots
193.93.44.43 - Dust 2 | Office | Italy - 25 slots
193.93.44.44 - Dust 2 | Cbble | Aztec | Train | Dust | Prodigy - 25 slots
193.93.44.45 - Dust 2 | Office | Italy - 25 slots

all i can say is a 60player css server would be horrid. I doubt theres a box powerful enough or configured correctly to be able to get a half decent tickrate with that many players.

and talk about the severe fps drops when you start fighting with that many people.

UKCS played very well on 60-player and fps drops weren't that bad. I didn't have that powerful a machine at the time and average fps would be 50-60 depending on how much smoke was about the place.

You'd regularly meet 10-15 people a time and everyone spamming grenades all over the place. As long as you have a semi-decent machine then you shouldn't have many problems (other than slanting screen bug that seems to be back in the latest update). P90 became a lethal weapon on those servers.

Was a good laugh.

I played SBG a lot, and now play via and uksc when I get a chance. It's good fun playing a large server.

DJammyRasta · 1 Sep 2006 at 12:12

heheehe i so dont see the point in playing css with any more than 16 people on a server, any more than that and the game just looses all its tactics and becomes your standard deathmatch... to which a game like quake or unreal does a lot better

Usually go on 24 man servers at the most then leave when Dust comes around. I can't for the life of me see the attraction of Dust, Dust_2 is great but Dust is rediculusly CT sided and you end up with a team that just camps outside the tunnel getting flashed and then killed or try pushing under only to get sniped from cat area. meh i'll stop now.
