Yeah, five-ish, before fast evolution and harder hitting guns.
Currently rounds are much faster, an average of two hours.
Longest I saw lately was 3.5

I remember KeyWii (or someone else of equal-ish rank) saying they participated in a round that went for 7 hours. Went from (roughly) 3AM to 10 and completely fucked up his/her sleep schedule. Planet changed hands (roughly) a dozen times.

Eight hours. Literally eight.

Longest I've ever been on CM was around six hours of brutal fighting on the old Nostromo map. Even after we took out marine FOB's in arrivals, the bridge, engineering, and security, the Sulaco table defense took us at least another half hour to get through.

The second was on Daedalus. 72 hour round that got cut short because the atmos loop was starting to mess up in all kinds of ways. After the first 8 hours we even worked out shifts to deal with the many random events that plagued us constantly.

longest I've been in was 6 hours. There was some brutal fighting and dirty tactics from both sides. I think the xenos won though but it was very close.

As far as I can see record wise, CM's longest round to my available record view is 8 hours 37 minutes. And it was a long, long, long, time ago.

On my case, it was a 5 hours long round.
We had multiple FOBs on the planet, including one in engineering, one in nexus and fortifications in both landingzones.
I noticed a peak of almost 60 players, some of them being russian ones.
As I was in the commander role, I played for the entire round.
And the humans won after we pushed the aliens back and invaded the caves.

Longest round I ever participated in was a little over 4 days, I was playing straight for the first 24 hours and took a break slept for about and got back on and repeated, shuttle was finally called when griff happened and half the station was gone.

longest round ever, for CM, was 6 hours and was back in pre-alpha. It involved pretty much a brutal fight for individual TILES in a huge terrain battle.

In the end, the aliens managed to sneak around the marines and steal a shuttle, thus taking down the sulaco.
