Game technology developer MuchDifferent set its sights on a Guinness record, hoping to bring 1,000 players into a single multiplayer FPS battle. While the studio didn't quite reach its goal, it came damn close. At its peak, 999 players took part in the Man vs. Machine shootout yesterday, an accomplishment MuchDifferent heralds as the future of multiplayer gaming.

At 4:04 p.m. CET on Sunday, the Man vs. Machine battle reached 999 players, just one player away from MuchDifferent's lofty goal. And then the server crashed due to the number of players trying to get into the game. Once the game was back online, numbers reached a peak of 980 players.

Guinness has yet to weigh in on yesterday's feat, but it appears the 999-player, man-versus-machine match will soon find its way into the record books. As for PikkoServer, MuchDifferent says it is ready to be used in "just about any game engine" used today.
