The developer has announced that online games of Modern Warfare 2 will only support a maximum of 18 players, bringing it down to par with it’s console counter part.
According to Mackey McCandlish, the cap helped the team hone map sizes, perks, classes, and challenges more effectively.
Still, with games like MAG boasting numbers of up to 256 and in a modern setting to boot, can any game these days get away with numbers as low as 18? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
