64 players is the sweet spot for battlefield games.

ArchangelMike3891d ago

Whats the word on the player count in BF4 for current gen systems?

FrigidDARKNESS3890d ago

Dice confirmed 64 players 60fps on xb1

Go to 16:22 mark in this video.

Battlefield always had 64 players, so I doubt it they will have more in the next future. 64 players is enough for big battles.

TwistingWords3890d ago

You could play 128+ players on BF2 with a little help from custom servers and mods

bumnut3890d ago

It was fun too, Am I the only one who is slightly disappointed BF4 is not 128 players?

trafalger3890d ago

the big news is that on consoles it will finally support 64 players. it hasnt been confirmed yet if it will be 1080 resolution but it will be 60 frames per second.

GentlemenRUs3890d ago

I think they said 720p but sometimes there's no difference ;)

Dynasty20213890d ago

64 players is PERFECT for the bigger maps.

This is something console players have been screaming for, and now they're getting it with the new gen.

Good news for them.

But it's not all raining diamonds.

Believe me, after, what, 2 years on BF3 on PC now, hear this:

64 players on certain maps is just ridiculous.

You're annoyed with 24 players. Now imagine 64 players on a map like Metro.

64-man rush on any map.

It is unplayable. Seriously.

64 man sounds amazing, but it's so pointless at times, that it stops being fun AT ALL, and you end up just defaulting to 32-man on those maps instead.

I will never, ever, ever play 64-man Metro ever again.

32 man is the highest I will go in TDM on Noshair Canals, my now go-to map for grinding.

"This is something console players have been screaming for, and now they're getting it with the new gen."

That is only down to illogical map design though. Like you mention in the rest of the comment; bigger maps suit more players and smaller maps suit lesser players (otherwise the maps are either unpopulated or just ridiculously crammed). I said this before bigger/more is not always better (the last of us multiplayer mode proved this). I am glad to see 64 player maps because DICE, in the BF franchises, always creates large maps (needed for vehicles) and this made the console version of BF3 suffer to some degree (because they had large maps but relatively low player counts)

Irishguy953890d ago

Yeah rush was good in bf3 but some cinquest maps just had too few players

HammadTheBeast3890d ago

Gulf of Oman Conquest on PS3 was terrible. There were at most 4-5 people as infantry soldiers, everyone else was in a vehicle,

famoussasjohn3890d ago

Yeah the maps needed to be tuned to the amount of players on current gen. It was too much running around to find someone. I stuck to the close quarter maps just because it had more things going on. I got tired of Op Metro really quick when admins had 1700 ticket servers lol.

FrigidDARKNESS3890d ago

Dont know why folks saying its old news video clearly says Gamescom. Dice is re-confirming it on xb1 .

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot752d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250751d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface751d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop751d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno751d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel752d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps751d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888751d ago (Edited 751d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33751d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888751d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH751d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
