Ever played Planetside 2?  Up to 2,000 players on a singe large map (called "continents"), on foot, in vehicles or in aircraft.

even after posting this you will still get the same argument. .  can't have nice visuals and play with hundreds of folk on the same map.. its sad..

joint operations had 250player servers over 10years ago..

Yeah, I play it, but not online. Not yet anyway. Playing it on full realism is quite the learning curve...

is FR the only online option?

so you would be ok with maybe 2 miles of visibility from the air? maybe if you ask real nicely, you can convince Hitech to switch over to the sony proprietary game engine that planetside uses...

Probably not, but I guess that's where the action is. I'm an "FR" guy anyways ;)

i played joint ops...as well as all of the black hawk down games. the joint ops servers held 150 players, not 250. and the graphics weren't of the quality to support your argument.

Boy am I sorry I bumped this thread.

Apparently, most of you trashing the game don't subscribe so you can't see new developments anyway.

Oh well.
Easy in-game again.

I was wondering what fanboi excuse you would come up with next. HTC already has the netcode. HTC already has the flight models. HTC already has the strategic system. HTC already has the server system.
like i said, maybe if you asked real nicely you could convince him to buy into the sony proprietary game engine...so you can have the eye candy.

Why would I? I'm not the begging kind of customer. I'm the kind of customer that takes his money elsewhere. There are plenty of good GFX engines available to license. There are even a few free open source ones that are far better than what they use now.

Oh well.

You forget that the game can be downloaded and tested offline without a subscription.

then, once again, what are you doing trolling the forums here?...you've obviously found something better, go do it.
