i cant believe we're suppose to settle for this, *sigh* ultimately they win cause we cant do anything about it, this is a serious downgrade indeed

Sure there is, don't buy it.

OMFG you guys, you are still not happy??!?!? jesus! you really CANT please everybody///bloddy hell we are such babies!

Why would they be happy. They are going from 64 players to 40, when most all BF fans were expecting an upgrade. Its not generally acceptable to get excited over down grades..... :shakehead:

I prefer 40 to 48 player servers anyway.

I hope the maps are bigger and more vehicles too.

I dont wanna see fights over assets like old BF games.
BC1 just barely escapes thos problems.

Also the bottle neck frontlines of goldrush could get bad unless the maps are well thought out. If the defense is good, it can be almost impossible to win as attackers on maps like my favorite Harvest Day. The higher ground the defense has is a huge advantage.

Glad to see the player count up'd for no other reason than it proves to the PC elites that the xbox isnt limited to 24 players.

20 vs 20 does sound like a good number for large battles as long as the game is designed around it well.

Thanks Dice

If the engine only produced static maps like previous battlefield games, I'm sure we could be on 128 player maps by now.

I think 40 players is a reasonable compromise.

Re: Bad Company 2 - 40 Players Confirmed

Its slightly better, but still a downgrade. Most of us are expecting 128 player.




Sorry, but thats rubbish. Its been articulated perfectly by people smarter than me, but having a large sandbox battlefield is what drew people to BF is the first place.

It's Bad Company 2. Not BF3. Keep that in mind before you complain.

No you don't.

You just haven't played Battlefield 1942. El Alamein 64, mmh.

Hey, at least it's not going to be 24 players.

And that is the reason they did this in the first place.
Let everyone think that it will be 24 players, then when you announce that it will be 40 people are happy and forget that it's a step back from 64 players and big maps and full-on combined arms.

Exactly.

Re: Bad Company 2 - 40 Players Confirmed

Actually I was abit skeptical when I heard BC1 would be only 24 players.

I bought the 360 anyway, played the game and forgot about any numbers.

There is alot of action in frostbite, aswell as low spawn times and the spawn on any sqaud member means plenty of people around every corner.

Some people just feel better when they complain.

Re: Bad Company 2 - 40 Players Confirmed

El Alamein or Kubra Dam would of made great 128 player maps.

Re: Bad Company 2 - 40 Players Confirmed

128 players would be absolutely awful. The power required to run it on a server would be absolutely stupid and simply economically infeasible.

64 was too much for me, so this sounds like the perfect number.

agreed. People with awesome rigs that can power the sun tend to forget that there are other people out there without their capabilities. Also, I kinda hated 64 player Clusterf*cked servers and maps. they were more trouble than fun
