Counter Strike Guinness World Record

Thursday 18 August 2005 @ 12:20 am

We have seen the world record for overclocking of computer processor, which is a stunning 7.1335GHz !! Now let’s have a look of another stunning world record, a large group of people playing Counter Strike, the infamous network computer game, simultaneously. How many people do you think it’s possible?

There were 1073 people playing Counter-Strike 1.1 simultaneously in a LAN party in 2004!! This LAN party was taken place at the Elmia Exhibition and Congress center in JÃ¶nkÃ¶ping, Sweden and runs from Thursday morning to Sunday afternoon day and night. This LAN party was sponsored by Microsoft Sweden, while Unisys providing Unisys ES7000 32 CPU / 32 GB RAM Server, running on Microsoft Windows 2003 Datacenter Edition.

1073 people playing at the same time !!

There was once the number of people hit 1160 playing the same time, but the Guinness World Record ended up being 1073, not bad anyway. :) By the way, there will be another LAN party going on this 24-27^th of November in Sweden this year. So, I suppose there will be another new world record to be set for sure.
