Forums - Gaming - Rumor: Modern Warfare 3 will host 32-player matches, new Bomb mode

Nsanity on 29 August 2011

SFX-360 spotted a YouTube video supposedly posted by someone who snuck into the Call of Duty XP setup on Los Angeles' west side and got a glance at some of the menus for the multiplayer mode. Most intriguing: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 might offer 32-player matches, which would be on a larger scale than the series has yet offered. 13 map names were also listed on the video, and in addition to the standard Team Deathmatch gameplay, there was also a mode called, simply, "Bomb," though its mechanics are yet unknown.

The good news is that we'll know for sure how legit this all is by Friday – that's when Call of Duty XP officially opens up to those who bought the $150 tickets for the show. Didn't get yours? Don't worry – they're still on sale right now. And even if you can't make it, we'll be there in attendance all weekend long to see what Activision has planned.

I'm assuming this is the PC version. I highly doubt the consoles could do this.

I believe Perfect Dark Zero had 32 players, and that was a launch game on the 360.



It's just that simple.

Heck, even Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for the Wii had 32 players

Why are Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2 both capped at 18 players then? I always figured it was due to the fact that the game was already pushing the consoles too far already (the 360, at least). Was Activision merely "lazy" up until now?
