It really depends on what your rquirements are. The best thing to do is develope your routines first with low poly modals and then work up. That is how I am doing it. There by I can perfect the code before developing the complicated stuff.
The fact that you need patch 4 before you can truly judge what you can achieved would support this method.

I am going to develope the program before patch 4 so that lower spec machines could run the game when the new patch is added.

For a FPS I would make sure each character is less than 1000 polys as a start point

the polys aren't the first problem :
try to make a good code before you make your objects because if you don't make a good code, you don't need a lot of polys
but if your code is good, then you can try to make the bests objects, the bests pictures, ...
