Some time ago, some Dev or other got the insane idea to allow like 30-32 players to have like a 1,000 kill and 2.5 hour time limit.
It was absolute chaos, it was absolutely insane, was the craziest idea anyone at Hawken ever did, and it was WILDLY POPULAR!!!
I rarely play anymore since Hawken screwed up my good aqccount to where I cannot even log in anymore (See my recent post "How to lose players/customers/money and be unprofessional and rude"  @  https://community.playhawken.com/topic/6744-how-to-lose-playerscustomersmoney-and-be-unprofessional-and-rude/

But one day I tried logging into this TRASH account I am now stuck with, and landed in the middle of the chaos.
I had FUN!, and I mean fun as in actual fun, where I was not getting killed all the time, where I could actually make a real difference, use strategy, support my team better in a substatial way, and give some of the super-players a little grief back!
As far as I saw, many other people were also having a great game, and the worst complaint I saw was simply that people were getting fatigued or running out of time to finish and having to leave the game before it was over.

I do think it was a bit extreme, in that with a potential time of 2.5 hours for a single map, you might have to play for the entire day to get to your favorite map, or have to deal with the one map you did not like for hours, but again, that was tempered by the fact that it was great fun anyway!

I would suggest that a better set-up would be to have a 1/2 hour to 1 hour time limit, a 250-500 kill limit, but as to number of players, 30-32 or whatever it was seems to be just fine. I can imagine that someone will say that it eventually crashed the servers, but I was playing for hours myself before that happened, and as a matter of fact, I cannot remember just how long I played, because I was having so much fun, and it was such wonderfully insane chaos!

Bring it back, dammit!
It was the single best idea that anyone at Hawken ever put into action!

actually according to current database i think 3 v3 server will be best beside 24 server .

It was fun, even just a 24 player server with 100 kills would be nice, maybe they can put one up to see if people are interested. I know we use to have some a long time ago.

I would be happy if they brought back 30 - 32 players online at one time let alone the servers for that.
