More like 10 players.

4 kilobytes (32 kilobits) perplayer X 128 =512 Kilobytes X 8 (8 bits per byte) =4.096 megabits

I would doubt that 32 kb per player is enough for somewhat smooth gameplay, but we'll see.

Why do you calc 4 kilobytes (32 kilobits) per player X 128. ?

I thought it was 128 kilobits (16 kilobytes) per player upload.

Hi Merlin

Where did you get that info from. That is quite a lot of bandwidth for each player

I'm guessing from the official system req's:
Multiplay: Broadband connection with 128 kbps upstream or faster

That would mean 16mbit+ just for the incoming data for 128 server wich I don't think is that much.
Taken there's way more data to be transfered with sophisticated damage & flight models etc, than your "normal" multiplayer game.
Don't think anyone would want a server of that size on anything less than a 100mbit connection anyhow.

Yes got it from official system specs Brigstock, so could anyone recommend a server host. ?

128kbps+ x 128players = 16mbps+

Which would be comfortable on datacenter hosted dedicated server.

Recommend a server host, if you're in the UK

i hope your wrong because the last time i checked a 100mbit connection at a data center was close to $500 a month...if you have something cheaper plz post a link
