"Our demo took place across Dice's local network, which allowed us to experience the PC's 32 player limit, which is six players more than the consoles' 24 player count. The six extra players may not sound like a huge increase, especially when compared to previous Battlefield games which have had 64 player counts, but according to Bach, this is due to map sizes."

Did he even read the article? lol...

Old news. But i dont know why ppl think we should have 64 players looking on youtube videos. The maps are small and in your face gun fights looks nice for a change. I welcome it i hate the parts of battlefield where you keep getting nuked and players hogging jets. BOOOO! to them.

Give him a break, he was probably still too excited after playing BFBC2 to do simple math!

Thats why i only played Infantry Only mode on BF2. No tanks, planes, helo's, or arty. Still GL's and claymores though lol. After Inf Only mode came out my K/D got a lot better because i wasnt spawning either in front of a tank as a sniper or right as arty would drop.

by nuke i think you mean nade spamming? either way, I totally agree. quality > quantity. and considering the general intelligence level displayed by the majority of gamers, i'd say the more the lousier.

i understand that with destructable environments (they do have them right?), 64 players would be too much. and im kinda glad maps are a little smaller. however, i dont want a run and gun game like the video made it look like. i would only play infantry in bf2 and what i hope is a bf2 with destructible environment and less walking around for a long time bfore being sniped. but i dont want a run around every corner and spray kind of game either

He was probably writing that while trying to find ways to get any other journalists back for being "noobs" :P. And 64 players means 5-10 people just waiting for a jet to spawn :P

The title is a direct quote from the article here on gamespot which is what the OP is making fun of.

32 players is enough because its more of an arena/arcade shooter. Plus, for player coutn and other things, BF3 will be a nice surprise...

After watching the play through on Giantbomb.com, while the concept of lots of players seems cool, the game itself seemed very average. I thought the point of having that many players is so that there would be some strategy to the fight, with different squads getting different orders and then it coming together at the end as one big battle as all squads converge on one location. That is certainly not what the game looked like, hell, Quake Wars has more strategy to it. Unreal Tournament has more strategy to it. Maybe I just need to see more.
