Recreating the opening scenes of SPR is probably not within ArmA2's remit - but it is perfectly possible to run a mission with playercounts of 40+ that feature 60+ AI whilst maintaining a workable server FPS. Moreover, player/AI numbers is potentially too coarse a metric for predicting performance - group-sizes, scripts, placed objects and modules all play a part; it often boils down to optimisng the mission design for large-scale action and the implicit trade-offs required by it.

I would love a remake of Beasts of Steel. Something with a humvee based platoon would be nice as well. I'm sort of making a mission, but it's like my Kenya one. (Not serious)

I see carver. I made such a mission with my total lack of editor and scripting knowledge in OFP. So I thought it would be do-able on ARMA2. Pity. THat is something to wait for in future games.
