Battlefield: Bad Company 2 confirmed to have 40 players online? |
Ó
Information's starting to trickle out for Electronic Arts and DICE's sequel to the blockbuster FPS hit in the Battlefield: Bad Company franchise. According to an EA Forums post, it's been revealed in the OXM UK issue #56 that 40 players have been confirmed for online play in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC). Take out those beer kegs, this is sure to be a party.To quote the said confirmation, from a scan of the magazine:
FORTY-FIED MULTIPLAYER
EA hasn't yet made any announcements about the multiplayer side of the game. The only thing we know for certain is that 40 people will be able to duke it out on servers when the sequel hits rather than Bad Company's previous player cap of 24. New game modes and plenty of maps a shoo-in however, that's what sequels are made for after all.
This comes in conflict with the previously reported number of the devs being happy with just having 24 players at a time online. No word, too, if this will also apply to the console versions, or if this is solely for PC, but we're sure to get more details on this in the coming days.
And since EA has not yet "made any announcements" (although this was posted on their forums), we'd rather tag this as rumor for now.
Stay tuned for that.

I believe I will stick with my 64 player Battlefield 2 insanity on my PC, thank you very much. Is this really THAT shocking of news?
tze...
MAG has 256 players, how do you want to reach that, EA?

lets just hope MAG is good or 256 players wouldnt really matter
firstly no blood it is perfectly fined without blood and since i have never played anything online with more than 24 ill see how this ends up and they might not be able to do like mag because the game wouldnt be as much fun in the type of game modes theyre doing. Much improved to the first game...
Go for the 40 player modes! If they add Domination or something like it that would so much MORE FUN! Cause CoD4 is like what 24 players on Domination?
Killzone 2 is already too chaotic having 32 players so 256 players is really meh...
So long as it doesn't suck as much as Bad Company, go for it
maybe this news would be more surprising if Resistance 2 didn't have 60 or MAG having 256
didn't suck, it was one of the best FPS, with a new feel/direction, I've ever played. Sure it's not like CoD, but it wasn't supposed to be. It was a lighthearted, comedy game. The online was kickass, even with the minor issues.
