MuchDifferent's gaming world record attempt - to pit one thousand players against each other in mass first-person combat - took place this weekend. It missed its target by a single user.

Inside spawn points you can't shoot, but CAN be killed.
Machine spawn points was an 4-5 open areas so they can move in any direction once they spawned.
BUT the humans spawn inside a few vehicles with a single exit.
The machines camped out directly in front of the exit to the humans spawn points, killing us as soon as we spawned. a few humans got lucky and was able to get outside the spawn point for a second and kill a few Machines before getting killed in a hail of laser fire! :(
