HPL2 Polygon Budget

[WALP]

It mostly depends on how many polygons there are where you are looking. So The smaller the object the less polygons. Myself I have a 10,000 polygon terrain in the mod I am working on, but it dosent hurt framerate to a point where it matters since a terrain is so big.
Theres not really a clear answer around as to how many polygons should be the budget, since first of all people have different pc's, and also theres a lot of other things to take into account like, Do these objects use physics? are they animated? Texture resolution? and so on...
