114 Player petition

Re: 114 Player petition

Before you start bashing the concept... think a little out of the small vanilla BF2 box all of you seem to be sitting in.

This would do wonders for PR. Considering it is going for total realism, it will never reach its goal (obviously) but it certainly isn't getting any closer when you try to simulate full all out war with two armies that are both 32 soldiers big.

Raise it! It would be awesome.

Its not...

Re: 114 Player petition

I would love to see it raised to its original 128. If nothing else, than to see a 128 player server in a 16 player sized Karkand. :p
Except for having 5 team mates in the same corridor on your own Titan, this would be the biggest cluster**** in Battlefield history.

Re: 114 Player petition

The thing to keep in mind here is that server admins can choose their capacity. This is for the HUGE maps in mods like Project Reality, not your typical BF Karkand stroll.

Yeah but full sized servers are usually the most popular. In 2142, Fall of Berlin and Camp Gibraltar were designed for 32 people, but every Camp G server is at least 50 people.

Re: 114 Player petition

ive noticed people trying to keep this up by saying that not all servers will be 114 people, but most servers will go to the limit anyway. people can be that retarted. 64 size will be an endangered speicies and 32 wont even exist. dont even mention 16 player servers... sure, not all servers will be full but jacking up the server limit will make some popular servers just die because they all go to other more prefered servers.

Re: 114 Player petition

PC and server hardware could not successfully handle more than 64 players 3 years ago at BF2 launch. Present time is a different beast altogether, with most of the PC populus going dual or even quad core. Not to mention the increased broadband speeds that have been going around(hello FiOs).

I say roll with it, if people dont like it, then dont play on the servers that have that many people spamming nades or whatever.....

Re: 114 Player petition

^thats what i said though, people will go to the limit and all the populated servers with anyone will be 114, 64, 32 and 16 will be almost non existent. people will be stuck with large servers, unless they get one with less than 100 or so people.

Re: 114 Player petition

^Dont agree with that, there will be players that want small servers, and servers that cant handle the large numbers will still be there for them. Not every server will be able to handle it. It would just open up the option for those that have the machines, both servers and clients.

Re: 114 Player petition

^true and like i said, not all servers that have 114 player limits will be full.

Re: 114 Player petition

EA wont do this but someone could mod it

we would need more vehicles like 4 choppers instead of 2

remember a game called joint operations? that had 128 player servers back in 2003 when servers were less powerful and internet connection were slower

Thats the problem, people can´t mod it because it is hardcoded client side. All EA need to do is release the option so it can be used by modders for example.

Re: 114 Player petition

I've seen a hardcore 96 player shipment server on CoD4... It wasn't that stable though so it was taken down pretty quickly

Re: 114 Player petition

Sometimes I prefer large servers, sometimes I prefer a smaller server so I actually have a cahnce to get into a certain peice of equipment. Depends on the mood Im in.

Other people feel the same way so small servers would continue to exist and still be populated.
