Battlefield 3 This Fall with 64-Player Support

[HavoCnMe]

64-player is BACK! Thank You DICE! FU Antivision! I mean Acti.

Bad Company lagged for literally months on the 360 across the east coast. You'll have to forgive me for not buying into all the hype.

BUILD A PC! Can't wait for you to cry about Crysis 2 also..."It lags"

 

[cloakster]

Im literally laughing out loud at all the console fans who complain about lag. Well obviously there's going to be lag without dedicated servers, which the PC version of any game should and BF3 will have

 

[SinisterSalad]

I really hope the BF3 is a PC port to console, not the other way around. There's always something not right about PC games ported from console. I also hope for mod tools, I would like to get back into that again.

[citation][nom]sundevilchemist[/nom]Is BF3 the same title as Bad Company 1/2? I love Bad Company 2 on PS3. Never had lag. Just had issues were my rankings and guns disappeared. That glitch sucked.[/citation]

No. Part of the regular Battlefield series.

 

[ulysses35]

Hmm another turkey that will be hyped beyond belief then actually turn out to be rubbish life BF2 was. game play and ranking was way too easy... providing you could get into a game without every saddo playing with a snipe rifle...

yawn zzzzzzzzzz another Bf game

You poor fool, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about....

The lag experienced on Bad Company had nothing to do with the processing power of the xbox.

If there isn't mod tools, then I'm not interested.
They promised a lot for the PC version of BFBC2 that they never honored.

Battlefield BC 2 has some of the most retarded netcode ever designed, everyone not noticing is obviously a casual gamer to the max. Yes I am not sayin BO was any better the Cod series has been generic rehashes from the days of Cod4, but the Quake/Unreal engines are leaps ahead when it comes to netcode, hence why BF3/BC series will never be any esport titles.

Want an example, sure.. its the obvious run around a corner and die when you're in cover principle, that and the fact that you can manage to kill your enemy while he kills you at the same time, simply caused by the insane delay for the server to talk to the client in Frostbite.

I am from Sweden and i love the old BF titles, but I am most certainly not getting my hopes up for BF3, Red Orchestra 2 will be the next true PC game with its exclusivity and proper support.

well battle field bad company 2 has been battlefields biggest flop yet in my opinion.its the first battle field i dident like at all. fix so you can lie down spring and go left/right at the same time and get back aour maps so they arent 10m wide and 100meters long. its not a battle field its the battle of a smal strike force whit almost no rome to do eny thing. the destruction need some work to. alot off lagg iwe manage to get 30-50ping in black ops but im around 150-160 in the crappy battle field servers it newer ewer feels fluent. and sens you cant take cower run well and not lie down its like your driving a machine not a human. and i still not rdy to forgive them for not relishing battle field 1943. whot happend to you battle field you whent to console and destroyed a great game series and then stop relishing half the tittles to pc?

 

[sgtmattbaker]

I'll have to reserve final judgment when I see some actual game interviews and gameplay, but for right now I'm pretty excited about what I *think* the game is going to be like.

 

[invlem]

I have slight feeling they'll need an asterix behind 64 player support.

most likely it will be something along the lines of *64 players for PC only.

 

[James296]

32vs32 player battles....*drools*

 

[nurmuhammadabdurrahmanuzumymw24]

BF2: Project Reality Mod has an official stable 128 player server up and running. Just thought I would let you know.

64 players for PC only, 32 for Console... Real WAR for PC players, Little skirmish for Consoles

 

[eddieroolz]

64 players will be amazing; however I doubt my PC will be able to handle this.

 

[djibouti321]

Excellent, but please...give us a decent PC port of the first Bad Company.
Make a proper campaign this time around. "Fragfest" is not very everybody.

Yes, it does, actually. You might want to do research and catch up to what PC gamers already know.

I hate it when console gamers talk like they know shit. Same idiots that pay for map packs, and Xbox Live Gold. Look up the origins of Counter-Strike and TeamFortress (and countless other mods), the community of PC FPS and RTS map and mod makers, look up Ventrilo/Teamspeak, and Xfire, and then kick yourselves to know you pay for what PC gamers have always gotten for free, because we make it ourselves, and share it. No one developer can ever, EVER, trump the genius of a whole group of dedicated, talented, passionate individuals.

I suspect console gamers on Tom's stumble upon the site by mistake, as I'm sure most of the information here goes right over their uninformed heads.

damn I was hoping the rumours of 80 players on a signle server for 40 vs 40 were true. Ohwell 64 is still better than 16 or 24. Been waiting for this game to finally come out. Hopefully as good or better than BF2 with destuctable enviornment, should be awesome!

 

[sunflier]

Wonder if there's any chance you can use your same BF2 account? I sure hope so, otherwise whats the point in building your rank other than bragging rights??

Actually it was, 360s couldn't handle all the dust BC2 kicked out originally and the framerates dropped into the high teens, 1 update was purely to reduce the eyecandy so your crappy ass Geforce 7600 that's in there could handle the strain.

Now as for actual lag... GSP is to blame for hosting virtual servers. Instead of one server gets one processor core in a box it's more like 25 servers running on 1 physical machine.

 

[sgtmattbaker]

Like someone else said, I hope it is a PC to console port instead of console to PC. Anyway, it looks like EA/DICE are at least acknowledging the fact that there are a lot of Battlefield fans on the PC that were disappointed with how the Bad Company series turned out (at least in terms of how big maps were).
