With so many people playing at a time, wont there be frame-rate issues? Or will it get to crowded to play? And, is there a plot? Does the game have customizable material? I just got interested in it and dont feel like reading much so im asking you guys. Thanks :)

In the beta I didn't experience any lag. You can customize your guy's look and select which weapons you're going to use.

No frame-rate or lag issues at all. The 256 is divided up into smaller groups, so you're not really playing with all 256 at a time. And there's not really any plot, it's multiplayer only. Haven't really messed around with customization, but I'm sure you can play around with various loadouts and unlock different weapons and what not.

Yeah the customization in the beta for your guy was just a head and voice but im sure they'll have a better customization feature in the full game. The loadouts are good, no frame rate issues at all, and the fields of play are huge, so you never really see 256 players at once.

It's on the store. And the plot is: Mercs fighting for resources.

i could swear that you are playing with all 256 but everyone is split into squads and each squad is sent to different sections of the map so you will only run into other squads that arnt the counter squad of yours if you run for a while. but the map is HUGE!!!! and there isnt any lag when i played

The game is designed to have that many people at the same time and the main focus of the developers was, how could we do this without lag so they would not release the game if that main aim was not met. Also they designed it so that are many different hosts feeding off of a bigger host so that there is not an overcrowding on one host.

(by the way this information is not fact, this is from what i can remember from what i thought i read quite a while ago so if it is not correct please correct it)
