Modifying the maximum player count on a Natural Selection 2 server allows administrators to tailor matches to specific goals or community sizes. Increasing the limit can transform a standard match into a chaotic, large-scale battle, making the conflict feel more epic and intense. Many maps are designed with expansive layouts that require larger teams to properly control territory and utilize the available space. Alternatively, restricting the number of participants fosters a tighter, more tactical environment where individual coordination is essential for victory.
