Ok so I know its 256 players and w/e but some people are saying you are in squads of 8 or stuff like that WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS Theoretically could you line up 128 players facing 10 feet away from them another 128 players? Or is it just 8 vs 8 and in the back ground ( not reachable by ur squad) there is more 8 vs 8's going on? Thanks a lot
I hope its kind of an open world game for the squads etc. Hopefully someone here will comment about this. Btw, lemmings are going to go crazy bc its MAG so watch out for them ;)
there could be 128 lined up against 128, but the 8 player squads are a way to create a chain of command and make objectives easier to make and complete. There are a few levels of commanders, each have their own abilities. rather than make it a free for all, its supposed to create a realistic depiction of organized battles.

Thanks a lot 128 vs 128 and you respawn/stick with your squad.. every squad has different objectives given by the platton leader.. 64 players to every platoon.. 2 plattons every company (i believe)
Nice to have 256 players, but i couldn't care any less. because i won't be seeing a tenth of them on the battlefield anyways. Quantity does not equal quality. Seriously, it's going to be a **** lagfest in there,
I'll take Battlefield bad company before this anyday.
TC, from the videos I have seen, its one big, open warzone. You are in squads but those squads move around to different parts of the warzone to take over. And you will join other squads to take down points. I would assume, technically, that you COULD lineup 128v128, face to face. But it would probably take everyone a while to walk across the map to get into one spot.

Give Zipper some credit. I think they'll have the lag taken care of. It may be like most online MP's on pS3. There will be some issues the first couple weeks, then they patch it, and it will run great. Warhawk battles are on no small scale and it runs butter-smooth. Sony will spend the money on servers and such to make it a good experience. This is a franchise IP.

i agree... but i think there might be instances were you'll have easily 64 - 80 players all at once in a specific area... maybe there might be sub-missions were a few squads need to join forces against the opposing team..
I guess we still need to wait for some more previews and gameplay footage before judging... surely i'm looking forward to this game :)
Hmmm I wonder how many players BattleField 3 would have over MAG.

I dont think that we will see battlefield 3 ( at least any time soon) after dice anounced bf1943 and BC2 for pc. I hope I'm wrong though and give us a true sequel to bf2
No its 128 vs 128 AS IT SAYS The squad tactics are for objective completion = the aim of the game at the end of the round its most likely going to descend into an elimiation sudden death with 256 players going absolutely mental for a small area of ground.
