X-box Live Player Limits

Just a quick question, I was watching the Killzone 2 preview on GT and they say it will have 64 online player support.

Whilst I can understand the argument that this can lead to a unholy mess at times I also am glad that PSN offer this option. Do X-box players feel let down down Microsoft for charging them for live and at the same time do not offering dedicated servers for the option of games above 18 players?

..There *are* games on Live that use Dedication servers. It seems to be a common thing on here to think every game on PSN is on a dedicated server and every Live game isn't.

That's 100% wrong. While there are more dedicated servers on PSN there are still some on XBL. Do i feel cheated? Yeah i do, I don't currently have gold because R2 online is so much fun and Gears 2 multiplayer went a different route to the first and not a route i liked (switched out from being a small team tactical game to a run and gun luck fest).

I don't mind paying $50 a year, but having very few dedicated servers is bogus dude! :shock:

blame the developers they have even instance and choice to run dedicated servers and probably for less then it would cost to run ps3 psn dedicated servers but they choose not to on xbox live.

Killzone 2 has 32 player multiplayer....cobrax75

64 players is too much -- Even in Resistance 2 when I played a 60 player match at a friends I felt it was too hectic. At most I like a 20 player match in a FPS -- 10 on each side -- even those sometimes I feel are too big.Haziqonfire

A lot of people seem to give Microsoft a free pass for this, but they are a disappointment. It is lame how Live has so few dedicated servers, the few it does have are from 3rd party games, not games that MS themselves own or publish. I may stop paying for XBL soon, haven't decided yet.Floppy_Jim
