increase lobby limit to 5 or 6.

We are a group of five friends, but there isn't a lot of game that can have more than 5 player that interest us.
we tried to use the biglobby mod, it didn't worked.
So if the game "itself" was allowing 5 player, that would be really nice.

I agree with this, and I think that 8 would be a reasonable number. This could cause problems for potato/toaster gamers, so there should be a warning when creating or joining a large lobby "Warning: 8 player lobbies are an experimental feature and may result in poor performance on certain systems. Play at your own risk."

Agree, but the good thing about making more than 4 player lobby, is the chaos it will generate

This game is balanced to 4 players.

This game is balanced?

It may be for 4 player, but not one or two.
so it being unbalanced for 8 player isn't so bad.

It used to be balanced. But that doesn't mean to ♥♥♥♥ it up even more with dumb ideas.

it's not dumb, i don't see why it would be dumb, allowing people to play together is normal.

[The Least Interesting Chibi...]

It's not a bad idea. The game can be rebalanced for more than 4 players.

I have a feeling the reason behind 4 was partially cinematic in nature (generally heisters all fit into one getaway car (so at most 5 generally 4 or less), and partially optimization load balancing (yes, I know PD2 isn't the best at being optimized but no reason to make it worse).

That all being said, maybe it's doable now. Maybe the Big Lobby mod just needs some TLC.

Also... squad sizes of 6 or less are probably prevalent for a reason in games and just through out life.

Kinda sad...

But you're right.

Even if i think that going from 4 to 5 won't make tooooooo much issues with the engine, we can't be sure.
