The servers make intelligent decisions as to what information reaches the console, optimizing each user's fixed amount of bandwidth. Zipper hopes its architecture keeps the battles humming along above 30 frames-per-second in every circumstance, whether 100 soldiers are fighting over a key point or four aerial assaults are triggered at the exact same time. The dedicated server structure also allows Zipper to systematically eliminate cheating by monitoring server activity, and the team has placed a huge emphasis on streamlining matchmaking to avoid long waits between matches.

speedpop said:Dedicated servers fuck yeah. Only problem is where these servers are located :lol No use having them in the U.S. if you want this game to be successful globally.
It sounds good but I don't want to get my hopes up in case it fails.
Well its says they been running 256 player matches each week since Nov. 08. So I guess they could be running the matches earlier too.Valkyr Junkie said:At E3 last year they claimed they were already running 256-player matches. I guess they were full of crap.
I hope they will do something about lagswitchers.PunkBuster quality cheating detection.
It wouldn't have surprised me if it happened. This is console gaming!Valkyr Junkie said:You thought regular players were going to be able to host 256-player matches? :lol
-Ranking up gives access to new weapons/perks/leadership positions.

That is a pretty cool way to be doing this. Until a match is lost then you will earn a premium from what your PMC does best.-256 Domination mode. Attackers and defenders. Out layer of defense and inner layer. Once gone through the out layer 'hell breaks loose'. Anti-aircraft and radar are vulnerable. If your faction wins alot it gets the contract for that game mode and gets XP bonuses and perks.
Sounds like they got everything under control.-PunkBuster quality cheating detection. System tests for things like rate of fire/movement/damage to keep things in check
You have now been quoted.-'hopes' for 30FPS when all the action is going down at all times
This should spice up the given orders, good decision.-Certain goals for each squad/platoon etc. Have 2ndary goals like blowing bridges.

No Conquest-style mode? :\Corran Horn said:-256 Domination mode. Attackers and defenders. Out layer of defense and inner layer. Once gone through the out layer 'hell breaks loose'.

-3 other game modes: Acquisition(128 player escort-style mode. Steal 2 prototype armored transports and bring to extraction zone). Sabotage(64player, control 2 points for X time then a demolition objective is revealed which must be destroyed). Suppression(64 player team deathmatch)
Although with this in mind I guess it'd kind of be like a large scale capture-and-defend-these-points-mmkay mode anyway. A bit like Titan in BF2142 perhaps, only objectives will be more varied than just capturing and holding bases.Corran Horn said:-Certain goals for each squad/platoon etc. Have 2ndary goals like blowing bridges.

disappointed and gutted....all sounds good though but with Killzone 2, Modern Warfare 2 & Operation Flash Point that will be about enough for my FPS fix for this year & after.

:loltimetokill said:All I want to know is if you can call airstrikes on areas you already ordered your platoons to go to :lol
Also what kind of blast damage is there in this game?
