Nearly 1,000 players zapped, fragged, and spawned their way into the record books this weekend by logging on with developer MuchDifferent to play the biggest online FPS game in video game history. It wasn't pretty — and it's still not 100% official — but ⛄if you've ever wondered what a 999-person fragfest would look like, here's it is:
The Guinness World Record attempt was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:announced back in March 2011 by network technology firm Pikkotekk. At the time, Pikkotekk frontman ꦍChristian Lönnholm pitched a game that would support 1,000 simultaneous players in a rudimentary “Robots Vs Tanks” match, using the Unity engine and the company's to manage the ambitious taskꦏ. Fast forward to this past weekend, and it looks like Lönnholm's vision paid off. Mostly.
Lönnholm, now CEO of MuchDifferent, explaining, “With 999 players, we still managed to raise the unofficial PlanetSide record with 600 players. For about two hours, people could experience a smooth massive game experience.”
Lönnholm admitted that the game (renamed “Man Vs. Machine) was affected by ongoing balance issues, but that the real achievement was getting all players in one game with zero penalties to its overall perfoꦺrman💦ce.
The attempt is still in the process of receiving official Guinness World Records approval, howeverꦑ MuchDifferent is c𝓰onfident their FPS experiment will make next year's edition.
