Oh my god. E3 have announced a socom/ Warhawk like online shooter which supports 256 players per game. Discuss it now!

ALL I CAN SAY IS HOLY *bleep*IN SHIT!

I'm worried. 256? Major lag possibilities there.

Other than that, the concept is AWESOME. I just hope they can execute that concept.

I liked the announcement trailer. Everything was quiet until..

Calling in reinforcements..











BOOM

Yeah that was sweet I want all of those trailers on my PS3 now so I can watch them over and over.

Yup this games looks pretty awesome!!

Looks cool but the major problem with shooters no a days is that people just go off by themselves. No one really plays together, unless your playing with friends. Now in MAG, your just going to see 128 people doing their own thing against 128 people doing their own thing. Of course i hope im horribly wrong.

For a second there, before he announced the third game, i thought it would be ff7.

well the squad feature could work wonders. i.e u have to stay with ur squad.
ive never played warhawk and the biggest online game ive played is 16 vs. 16 but i mean the maps are going to have to be huge, the battles will be actual proper battles.
this game could be absolutely massive for the ps3.

Well if the developers are planning 256 people playing per game, they must have some idea on how to handle it.

could the servers not be run by ur ping so everyone is on the same speed basically?
i.e certain servers need a certain internet speed to allow u in.

We'll considering SOE will be helping out on this project, i wouldn't be to worried about lag. Besides, Sony will no doubt put in some great dedicated servers for this game. As long as you have broadband, i wouldn't worry about lag.

And to think when I first came here people said there would never be games which had hundreds of people in a single match online. Your all fools
