Does anyone know what the maximum number of players per game/map will be in the final retail version of StarCraft II? In the beta the most we were allowed was 8 players, but in WarCraft III the max was 12. I used to play a lot of 6v6 and 4v4v4 and 3v3v3v3 games in War3, and there were a few 12 player maps in the map pool. Maps like Ice Crown (12), Garden of War (12), and A River Runs Through It (10). | ||

No, in phase 2 the max players in the Blizzard map pool was still 8. I didn't play any custom games in phase 2, so I can't say about them. Edit: I believe the 8 player map was name Extinction | ||

They probably will (at least, they have for every other RTS they've released). Someone said 12 and seemed sure of it, but I think the limit might be higher if you have observers. I seem to Blizzard saying 16, but again, I'm not sure (though I think I've obs'd 1v1s with >10 observers). At any rate, we'll know for sure in a few days!  | ||

Honestly though I felt like 4v4 was more of a joke/practice match setting...seriously though, 6v6? I feel like 3v3v3v3 or 4v4v4 would make for a more interesting game dynamic. | ||

For instance, you couldn't tech past tier 2 and the pop cap was at 100 per player. Might be interesting. Then again, probably not. | ||
