Forums - Gaming Discussion - Battlefield 3: 64 Players on PC, 24 on consoles(according to Gameinformer)

*check the "multiplayer" tab*

I don't believe DICE confirmed it yet but since gameinformer got the exclusive preview, I doubt it's false.

But if it's true, all hail PC!!!

Time for hype

Awesome 

all i hope is that EA update there crappy Servers and allow people to host there own 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Good, I was getting a little worried.

Haha this game will be so unbalanced.  There is no way you can balance a map for 32 people per side as well as 12.

 

One person in a jet/chopper would rape 12 players easily (like in bc2), 32 he wouldn't.

its not like they cant have 64, ZIpper then it with ease with MAG on PS3 so its possible.

Maybe the maps will be smaller

Not trolling just a genral question, is this the most players the 360 has had online in an fps?



How the hell are they gonna balance the map? I always like crowded server, I hope it's 32 at least....

lmao someone's never played battlefield 2, which was by FAAAAR more balanced than Bad Company could ever hope to be.



those talking about balance the obvious way would be to create different maps for different numbers of players with some being 24 and some 32 and a few 64, possibly with just the biggest maps being split up for less players, the playable area being limited to better suit a certain number of players. Now obviously only the smaller maps or sections would be playable on consoles with the full maps and the smaller ones being available on PC.

Just like real life then.

And that's what makes Battlefield fun!



I LOVE ICELAND!
