'CounterStrike' session sets record
Game enthusiasts at the conference set up a session of the popular shooting game "CounterStrike" with 1,160 simultaneous players hosted on a single Unisys server, equipped with 32 Intel Xeon 2.2GHz processors and 32GB of memory. The Guinness World of Records recognized the session as a world record earlier this week.






- 1,160 people?

- How can you have that many people in the same game? Aside from the fact that that many people would leave NO room to move on a map, counter-strike only allows 32 people to be in a game at once.

- They probably had several IP's configured on the server and binded the CS servers to them. I am sure not all the CS servers out there are on their own dedicated hardware just to let 15 or 20 people play a game against each other.
