[QUOTE=Beak Doctor;28507629]Just been wondering, how are the Beta codes going to reach the people who bought MOH Limited Edition?[/QUOTE]
It'll either be through their "super-le3t gun-club" site or it'll just be a case of it won't let you in without an EA account with a tied copy of MoH Limited Edition.
I think the whole amount of players thing depends on the sort of maps being played. Joint Ops worked pretty well with 150 player servers, but the maps were massive.
[QUOTE=LittleDogX;28510967]You don't seem to realize that a huge amount of players would also increase the system requirements for a game, mostly on the CPU side. Not only that, it would become a death fest. Hundreds of people mean you will die MUCH more. Besides the balancing issues from weapons or classes alone with that many people, the maps would also have to be large enough to support that many players, which will also present more balancing issues. It would also mean less servers would be populated. 4 64 slot servers or 1 256 slot server.[/QUOTE]
Which is why ranked/official servers will have 64 max, but unranked/unofficial servers have no reason to not be able to push it up a notch (or a few notches). Also it's fair to assume that maps that work for 64 players would have enough room to have 256 players without spawning practically on eachother (it would be very tight though).
[QUOTE=Oxu365;28511647]256 players actually worked pretty well in MAG, I had some epic battles in it.

Why wouldn't it be possible on a computer if they pulled it off on a console?[/QUOTE]
Except MAG was broken into 4 different matches of 32 vs 32.
[QUOTE=LittleDogX;28511865]Except MAG was broken into 4 different matches of 32 vs 32.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but they all were on the same map at the same time.
[QUOTE=Oxu365;28511963]Yeah but they all were on the same map at the same time.[/QUOTE]
But they were also separated by quite a distance. MAG also doesn't have the amount of detail that BF3 will have.

Okay, 128 to 256 players should be possible but not recommended.
Nah, they're best when all three are combined. One foot on the gas pedal, one hand holding the ice cream and one hand shooting.
Driving a Magnum eating a Magnum shooting a Magnum.
Badass.

I hope they use squads in this. I found a lot of squads stuck together because of the ability to use members as a spawn point.
[QUOTE=Mr. Agree;28513882]I hope they use squads in this. I found a lot of squads stuck together because of the ability to use members as a spawn point.[/QUOTE]
I also hope they'd use something similar to a squad beacon like in 2142.
[QUOTE=Mr. Agree;28513882]I hope they use squads in this. I found a lot of squads stuck together because of the ability to use members as a spawn point.[/QUOTE]
To be honest, I'd be surprised if this game WON'T have squads.
I want more incentives for FULL TEAM team work, sure you can always have a damn good squad, but everything outside of yours is all up to luck, hated that about Battlefield.

Wait, what?
Enemy submarine spotted!
[QUOTE=hypno-toad;28469073]If "feels like battlefield" is getting killed by helicopters and fighter jets for 20 minutes until the round ends, then I don't think I'd like that aspect of battlefield to be in. Testament to this fact is that at any given time 5 people are waiting around for jets and helicopters to spawn and then they all race to them like idiots. Youc an't walk around a map as infantry without a helicopter or a jet spotting you and promptly destroying you.
Theres number of problems with air vehicles, all very easy to resolve with trial and error in testing:
- Jets and attack helicopters re-spawn too quickly
- Jets and attack helicopters are too easy to repair and too quick to resupply.
- Too many jets and air vehicles per map and the maps are too small for the large number of them.[/QUOTE]
I play the SP version of BF2 and I always steal the Jets and sit at the base to wait another one whenever I die.

Loaded up XBOX
Saw "BF3 info" on the inside xbox dashboard channel.
Question on sentuamessage refers to BF3 as "Battlefield Bad Company 3"
Console kiddies :colbert:
The sad thing is, I am going to be getting this on Xbox 360 anyway.
My pc specs are in a position where I could upgrade anything (Already got good specs, just need a RAM and maybe GFX card upgrade) and be ready to play BF3. The problem? Win7 required.
I can either buy Win7, or BF3 (My estimations put my money at about 95 euros left after PC upgrades and Crysis 2.)
Obviously I am choosing BF3 because I would rather have an immediate functioning game rather than spending even more money on Win7.
I was really sad when DICE announced that BF3 would require Win7. I can't keep on buying shit because minimum specs are getting boosted so damn fast now. I miss 05-09 when most [or rather all :( ] games were console ports and min specs stayed consistent. Well, I miss that time, MINUS the console ports part.

It's not windows 7 required though, I thought? I thought it was anything better than XP

If you have a gunclub account you will be able to play BF3 at PAX East, too bad I won't be able to get there :smithicide:

Unless you are currently using XP there is no necessity to upgrade to Win7 from Vista.
I have yet to read somewhere where it states that Vista ---> isn't supported :colbert:
