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.


umm.. BF2 was perfectly balanced at it has 32 players per side. And typically no, the guy in the jet/heli own the noobs, I typically snipe the pilots right out of their cockpits into the nearest grave.


I assume you mean BC2?  And no it is not balanced, certainly not on consoles.  One chopper can rape an entire team circle strafing and spawnkilling.  This goes on pretty much every map that has choppers. 


No Battlefield 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2

Cool but I most likely won't play on these 64 player servers.

Simply too many people. Not fun getting shot from 2 sides or running around a corner and facing 3 enemies. Hasn't much to do with skill.

Again...no console version of BF2 so there was no issue of balancing the game between platforms.  Modern Combat was a completely different game in design.


BC2 actually wasn't that off for balance. People just forget that when a heli is flying around spawn, spawn with an RPG. Instant death to heli at contact.

I would easily win against 3 enemies... I've done it before... I've taken out tanks with others around it. I loved the old BF2 tank glitch which you knifed its tread in a certain spot and it would explode. lol

Maybe you should stop raping people on the noob servers then xD

Though I admit it's pretty funny most of the time.

You didn't play Battlefield 2 did you? Its called scaleable maps and it works great.

 

I am so glad this is there. Its one reason I didn't buy BC2 as it was obviously gimped for consoles. Here Dice is showing that BF3 is PC made and consoles optimized later. That's the way it should be.

Your skill maybe.

THat's why you develop squad play and play as a real war scenario in a team. Not lone wolf console FPS bull crap.

god I hope the PC version doesn't have ANY elements of the bad company spinoffs especially destruction 2.0

 

oh and how come no 64 players on ps3??


You're kidding, right?

Destruction was the only good thing those games added.

Who doesn't want to blow up a wall with an RPG or mow down an enemy shelter with a tank?

destruction 1.0 in bad company 1 = awesome

destruction 2.0 in bad company 2 = abosulute shit

lol nobody needs to tell me how to play Battlefield games.

Not my fault when my squad mates die around me all the time and I'm the only one left.

Pretty sure you would be one of them too....

i know you have a capable PC, go now and buy Battlefield 2 ( NOT BAD COMPANY 2) and see how wrong you are.

 

it's like MAG all over again.
