Someone mentioned it might be a third person shooter. And I just mentioned Gears as an example and made an off handed comment about the AI. It had nothing to do with anything until I elaborated on it because someone questioned my comment.

Now as for the TPS aspect I still rather hope it is since I prefer those types of games anyway.

i agree that TPS may be better, but the idea of being able to switch between the two would be helpfull to all fans.

Yeah something like Fallout 3 would be good. But I think if they want it to be more tactical they should go down the Ghost recon route with cover etc. Because with TPS its harder to Run and gun.

Actually, if they do this the right way they will end up with a BF2 for the PC only with 192 more players. I only hope the gameplay isn't in the terms of Frontline: Fuels of War...what a lame game.

That games was aright. The bots were really fun to use but everything else just seemed crap.

I only watched a friend play it but from what I saw, everything looked so unorganized. His team mates just went off and did there own things, and the squad members split up to much or they all chose the same class. There was just no point in even participating if no one is going to use teamwork.

Battlefield is on a whole other level. Having a strategic commander giving orders to each squad is what wins games.

Yeah but in BF you get those stupid team killers who plant C4s on planes or helicopters. Its still a really good game though.

A 'kick player' function will no doubt be involved, or the host can boot players and have the room settings to make friendly fire enabled or disabled. Many ways around it, and if the *bleep*ers still harass you then set them to 'avoid player'.

Wow,I can just imagine a warehouse filled with 256 bodies...(and blood of course, unless there's no blood effects -_-)

"OH.. there will be blood."
a high five who guesses wat thats from
lol

Ummmmmm???
There will be blood??

What you guys think, will this game have a soldier class (battlefield wise), create your own soldier with customization(MGO, or Rainbow 6 wise), or perks system(COD 4)??. If this game is 3rd person, then am for sure gettin it. I been waitng for a nice 3rd person action shooter for a while. It better be something like Drakes Fortune, the cover and shooting system that is.

I wouldn't expect the shooting to be much like Uncharted in relation to cover, but if it's third person, the gunplay would be similar.

It would be nice if the squad commanders could kick assholes out, but then you'd get some jerks who managed to become commanders and kick everybody out or just screw around.

I have a lot of faith that this will turn out great if they can bring the intense war environment from the trailer to the game.

Why couldn't it be 251 or 253? :sarcasm:

Because 256 is divisible by 8 and therefore easier to work with in programming terms.

2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512. All numbers that are easier to program. 200 not so much.

A power of two to be more precise.

Being a power of 2 is meaningless. Being divisible by 8 however means that there will be 32 squads. 16 per team. In addition it works out better for programming. Since computers work well in powers of 2.

I really disliked "No other console can do this..." I think the 360 could do it if a developer put there head to it, but I don't think a developer should try.

Simply put this game is a premise, like all the HUGE BATTLEFIELD, EPIC WAR! games. Games like this always get people hyped up until they realise that huge games aren't actually that much more fun at all. Battlefield is as good as it gets at the moment and that game I'd personally say is only fun because of all the air vehicles. I'm all up for seeing how this goes, but they rarely work out.

They'll likely use dedicated servers to host games, if they don't I'll be surprised.
