 Battlefield 3 tested with 128 players - briefly
(hx) 01:17 AM CET - Mar,10 2011
In a recent interview with Atomic (thanks BF3Blog), DICE’s Patrick Bach revealed that Battlefiled 3 can technically support up to 256 players, but testing showed that 64 players was better than both 128 and 256 players:
Atomic: Well, I can tell you that we’re looking at PC as our main platform for the game. We're gonna support 64 players, dedicated servers... that’s basically it.

Atomic: That’s basically it?

Patrick: Yup.

Atomic: Anything else you can talk about in terms of-

Patrick: -A lot of people ask us about 64 versus 128 or 256 players. Technically, we can go to 256, we’ve tried it. We play tested with 128. You’ve got to make a game that’s fun to play. And, arguably, we think that the most fun you can have is when it’s between 32 and 40 players. And we’ve done substantial research into this and tested 128 and that it’s not fun. Maybe we haven't done our design work good enough, but we just feel like there's no point in going higher than 64.

Atomic: So are you planning any sort of dedicated server model for consoles?

Patrick: I can’t talk about that but we're absolutely looking at it, yeah.

Or they could just make bigger maps...
From what they've shown in their videos, their maps keep getting smaller.

engine can handle it. They are not going to invest in it. I don't think it can even be done without bugs in current engine. So, until next gen consoles they are going to milk this cow that hey have. You want more players? Want real fun in war? Go for Operation Flashpoint. Best war thing ever!
