Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Just a note about player limit - I really think that having more players (as in 64 plus) encourages teamwork. It may sound counter-intuitive, but just look at Joint Operations, and JO: Escalation. The game supported 128 (or so) players, and I can't even begin to count how many times a large number of players organized a strategic assault. So, in my opinion, if you're looking to encourage teamwork, the more players the better.

I caught onto this too and thought the very same thing.

No.

All games say "up to" such and such amount of players. You can change the settings for less or up to 32 players.

IE, 16 players only, or 24 players only, or 32 players (max).

So are we settling with 32? Really? We're gonna go with that?

It's almost 2010!!!!! Why are we going backwards?

The amount of destruction is so taxing on the system that the player count has to be reduced some to allow extra resources for the Destruction Engine. With Destruction 2.0 you just cant have both 60 player games and people being able to pick apart the landscape piece by piece, most Pc's out there would just crash and burn if that were attempted right now. IMO were lucky to have 32 players and im sure this is going to be a game that will have very high specs. Until the Destruction engine has been refined and tuned many many times, BF games using the frostbite engine will simply not be able to support huge games, one of the many reasons why we WONT see it in BF3.

The guys that made BF2 are making this as PC only Devs. I have faith that the game they deliver will be excellent.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Yeah, lets simply forget about destruction, the amazing effects, the squad play...and make it compatible with 64 players.

Sometime you need to make a compromise and for me it IS a good one.

By the way. If you think MORE units is better, look at Dawn of War 2, compared to its prequel it is thousand times more tactical as few units are around there as those few units get more importand to a unit in the masses.

I'm really glad it's not 64 or above, that would grind my gears.

And prone? meh.

I agree! This is the real reason for the player cap. I just hope they get it right so that it's not a lag fest.

Why are you against 64 players? Because BF2 was so utter **** then everything else must be? Battlefield 1942 with DC was awesome with 64 players.

Because I have an opinion and am entitled to it?

I used to play DC & 1942 with 64, never really did anything for me. I usually find smaller servers harbour more teamwork.
