64 players or bust?

Re: 64 players or bust?

wow i'm surprised by the surge of votes for "don't care, i won't be playing this console port" it barely had any votes just the other day... hmm..

seems like everyone wants more than 24 though, that's for sure.

I might when it's cheap, but right now I don't have the motivation to go out and buy another BF game to be disappointed again, they are getting worse in my opinion, in some ways.

Re: 64 players or bust?

Games with such a low number of players would be boring. I agree that sixty-four players can be hectic, but once in a while I enjoy it.

Re: 64 players or bust?

Sooo it depends on the map after all?

^ We have a winner. Without knowing what the map sizes will be, wanting an arbitrary 64-players makes no sense. If the maps are not scale-able, and are the same size on Console and PC (as in COD4, for example), then 64-players on a map built for 24 or 32 will be a steady stream of spawn-die-spawn-die.

All us old BF players like those big maps with people to actually fill them.

Nope. Not even close to all, as the comments and voting in this topic show. And most actual players out there do not even use forums like this one, so we don't know what the majority actually prefers.

Well I think the console version will be 24p max and Ben the senior producer said the port for pc wont be just a straight port. It will be done correctly for the fans so that means there might be bigger maps or more players.

Re: 64 players or bust?

32 would be the very least for me to buy BC2, but 40-48 would be about the right number i think.

If DICE went all casual gamer on us and went with 24 players, then it would not be something i would buy.

Re: 64 players or bust?

Even though Im not getting it for PC I am going to give PC its due, I use to be alittle anti PC until I had a change of heart. Matter of fact I wrote about how PC guys didnt deserve battlefield bad company on ea forums. I now think Bad Company 2 coming to PC is great! Why? Higher player counts! Because I honestly believe if PC guys get 64 or 40 or 50 players, consoles like I am used to may get 32. Which is a step up from 24. So consider this a thank you if Im right! Plus and I mean this, I hope this holds you guys over until BF3. Yes I believe its coming and crappy part is it will be PC only. I believe that. BUT I cannot complain, we got bad company 1 as an exclusive on consoles. PC always gets the good stuff!

But as I think about it, Im very thankful battlefield came out on PC and started there. Otherwise we wouldnt have mini massive battles on consoles.

Re: 64 players or bust?

I'm a 32-48 Players kinda guy, but I'm willing to settle for whatever DICE throws at us.

24 does feel kinda low though. It really can't provide the epic scale that 64 players can. Then again, I've had some horrendous messes that are 64 player games before.

80 Slots, end of.

If it turns out that DICE make BC2 80 player then i will give everyone at this forum £200 each.

DICE could surprise us Even if I personally find 80 too much

If the maps are made for 24 players and 64 players are shoehorned in, it will turn into Shipment. :shudder:

...BF3. Yes I believe its coming and crappy part is it will be PC only.

Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Exactly. It all has to be proportional. If we're lucky, then maybe DICE will have made the map sizes scale-able for PC. *Fingers crossed*

Re: 64 players or bust?

32-48 would be fine for me. I always found 64players too much.
