two words:
la...ag
srsly though, not sure about teh ps3, but on pc, you get more than 15 ppl on at teh same time and you're bound to find some idiots that will do anything to ruin the game for everybody else. can't imagine who'll want to admin/mod a server with that many players at the same time.

I play a FPS that holds up 250 people in one server, but that's on PC.
And it laaaags, so I can imagine on PS3 :|

Did anyone every play the HL mod Battlegrounds... The musket FPS lol... That would be awesome with 250 players lol you could have proper line battles lol.

 

[Gooberman]

Lol that would be funny you hide behind others when the enemy fires

And what is that?
I thought most games were only up to 64, and Arma 2 is the noly one I know that has more (over 1500).

Actually there isn't one host, everyone supports from what I've heard

 

[Euklid]

Lag? Man, you guys have no imagination. Clearly a limitation of yesterday is no longer
a limitation of today.

Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising
And I heard that only 50 people can play in an ArmA 2 server at a time

lol!

Looks like it could be sweet or a total flop... really depends if they can actually get 256 people on at once without connection killing the gameplay. Sucks that it's only for PS3 though.

Lol, it's also coming out in 2010.

Hehehe ya I used to and I agree, lining up that many players would be fun!
'

has that game improved? is it worth the download?

 

[ducis]

imo it doesnt matter if they can pull it off technically.
what matters is if the game will put those massive teams to use within the gameplay.

and from the gameplay I have seen it doesnt, its just like 5 cod4 maps all pasted together with everyone spread out and out of view.

Why would it lag wtih 200+ players? Look at WoW.... How many people are playing that?

Trust me, when you get together 200+ players, throw in some vehicules and blow up some things all within a small area, it lags.

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Isn't PSN free? What money is maintaining the servers? Now maybe if a similar game is in the works for XBL, it may have a chance.

If only today's twisted pair was optical fibre, no lag...........

Unfortunately they most probably wont make a version for psp
