How does High Pop + effect how you play?

[Chocolate_bickie]

With the recent influx of new players and all that entails I'd like to know how you've changed your game play to adjust to the new ss13.

That includes everything from tactics, play style and even how you carry out IC game play (such as marine law).

Personally I've found that faster paced game play pays off, as other players often struggle to react to quick movements. Light armor and runners are a lot stronger as with FPS being what it is dodging before the other player has time to react is a lot stronger.

As a marine, I die under the intense wave of xenos in front of me and the massive amount of friendly fire from behind me.

As a xeno, I die trying to escape but am trapped under the 7 tile deep wall of doors.

OB is probably more viable now because it's more difficult for lagxenos to dodge it

I start getting delayed response to my inputs, like moving in bullet time while marines just walk up to me and gun me down. So the effect on me is "horrible death".

Vanguard in high pop means more runner kills and more horribly deaths.

we hope to be able to keep 300 people online at the same time
Unfortunately our current code is not good enough right now to handle it

If only robust SS13 backend code was available somewhere already.. Imagine..
