all the emf servers are hosted out of dallas texas, usa. pretty good pings for the continental us states all around.

My original point had to do with my observations that performance rolled off dramatically beginning at 25 players.
I know, but I just wanted to ventilate my opinion, your remark that I highlighted just gave me the occasion
Now don't damn me with flames yet...
It certainly wasn't intended as a flame, plz don't take it as such.
The "sweet spot" probably depends on multiple factors: 1. "player community" meaning the "cluster" of players that tend to hang out in your servers. 2. the map(s) in the cycle .3. the host/network capabilities
Your forgot two I think ;) (not intended as flame, just an observation) 4. How much revenue the hoster wants 5. The unmistakable urge for people to think that "the bigger the better"

CS/CSS is small tactical squad simulations and more than 7 players on a team is useless.
Exactly my point, thanks ;)
Unless you just let the n00bs on each team perform recon by fire for the intelligent players who hang back at round start. <wink>
Unfortunatly, but a few are intelligent enough to fight the urge to get the first/most kills. Ive more than once came across the situation that I (being the only one left) need to clean up 2 to 4 opponents (and usually do so effectively). I actually like those moments, because it shows real skill... and hopefully let people think about their tactics (if they care).
Enough of self praise :P just keep ppl like me in mind :)

Ps, wArg0d, I probably wont ever be seen on your servers because they are just too far away ;) (if tracert isn't lying to me about emfclan.com)
