Another reason for 64 players not having changed is that while the server hardware has changed in time, so has Battlefield. A lot more things are being tracked and the tickrate has gone up so these updates gets sent at a quicker interval. I would like to test out a 50vs50 server, see how lower the FPS gets with the extra players and if the servers could keep up without sacrificing hit registration etc.
As much as I would love to see DICE raising the player count in matches I just don't see it happening just yet, Battlefield as a series has always been known for its 64 player cap and still having netcode/networking issues, raising that will bring even more instability.
if a WW2 game with 50 vs 50 player count interests you that much, I would highly recommend keeping an eye on Post Scriptum, it's a WW2 game geared more towards realism and simulation like Project Reality and Squad if you heard or played those, it's on steam and you can check the roadmap here
50 vs 50 dedicated servers is something they wish to bring to the table.
DICE TeamI personally think the biggest fights we'll see are 64 player battles.
As they showed Grand Operations at EAplay, it also was just 64 players on.
And as they said that will be a massive fight you'll experience, so i guess we won't see more player that 64 in total. 🙂
Wow, lol. :eahigh_file: when the Servers got hacked.
We all hope things like that won't happen in Games at all. But there are always people around the Globe who try to screw things up.
