That said, keep in mind that you can get roughly a maximum of 20 sq km with the default landscape tool (not sure about performance at that scale).

I believe there's also some hard coded limits around the number of simultaneous players (16?), though it seems fairly easy to work around. Again, not sure about performance.

Nothings really hardcoded when you have the source at hand.

True. Also, there are rumors that epic is working on a multiplayer implementation of the player centered coordinate system.
