Re: Did you know...?

*sigh* I remember back in the days of Goldeneye on the N64, and how awesome that was... four player madness with all of you sharing the same screen...

But aye!! 64 players man!! I like 32 sometimes, but 64!!!!!

That would never be the reason I wouldn't buy any Quake or Doom related game (nor am I interested in playing HL2 or FEAR online). The reason I avoid all these games like the plague is because they don't offer the kind of realistic gunfights that I want. The only three FPS games I enjoyed multiplayer (in order of least to most, and with my judgement of them directly related to the technology of the time) were Counter Strike, Rainbow6 and BF2.

I seriously want to get BF2142. BF2 is a game that (imo) gets nearly EVERYTHING right in terms of gameplay, this is something I've never seen in a scifi based FPS and rarely (three times, as above) in a contemporary based FPS. Finally Sci Fi FPS done right!!! :p

Re: Did you know...?

Im a BF fan too, but for those of you that are specting a TITAN map with 64 players, are waiting in vain, since TITAN will be only 32 players maps

Re: Did you know...?

BF2 was originally advertised as being able to support 128 players. Unfortunately, the memory leak problem has prevented this. There are even problems with a full 64 man server now. Most have dropped back to 50 players to avoid the rubber banding and lagg issues. I did hear some rumblings about the memory leak thing being re-addressed for the 2142 though. Who knows, the current 1.4 BETA for BF2 is helping out more than just BF2, so 2142 might just be able to deliver what is promised.....

Also, I saw where the next Qwake War release was delayed until 2007.......

Re: Did you know...?

Yeah, Novalogic tried creating 100+ man servers but was suuuuuper laggy. They don't have the right code/engine for that yet. Novalogic is too cheap to create/borrow a new engine. So they keep making the same game over and over just using different skins. BlackHawk Down was my 1st PC game I played. Loved it, still do. But its just overrun with cheaters and they don't support that game anymore. Never got into JO. And DFX was a joke.

It will come soon enough. Then you'll see mass carnage. Even moreso than in 64 man BF2 maps. hehe

Re: Did you know...?

On most maps I only prefer 32 man maps. 64 is just a stupid killfest with no tactics

Re: Did you know...?

Well lets see...even if it is only 32 player max...1) graphics are much superior to bf anything graphics and 2) makers have made reliable games in the past without need of extensive patches
