Can't believe I haven't heard anything about this yet. Apparently, I think it is only going to be one map, but it uses the Frostbite engine. Not sure if it is going to be an independent release on PC or require BF2 or 2142 though. The map looks pretty nice, not sure if it will look like that ingame though.

Nice.Looking forward to this game.

yay... whats the max players on this? like 24?

[00SoldierofFortune00]

And I think no server browser, fun.

No, 24 players and no server browser is for the Xbox/PS3 versions. I expect it to be 64 for the PC, but haven't heard anything yet.

No, it is 24 for pc

Dice is considering more players for the PC, because it can handle it with better servers and less restrictions.

Wörtlich: "Since you do not have the same limitations in terms of servers and online games from Sony and Microsoft on the PC format, check also the possibility to not be limited to 24 players, which is maximum in the console versions."

Also, mentioned again in an early Q&A:

• The maximum amount of players for the PC-version is yet to be decided. There is nothing that says it has to be 24. -- http://www.bfhq.se/page.php?id=960&pg=7

Also, on a related note, Battlefield Bad Company 2 may have forty players on the Xbox. So PC BC2 will probably have 40 or more.

Quite frankly, I'm more eager for Heroes, as it's free. Call me a cheap-o.

Well, then lets hope they raise the pc player count (dotn keep your hopes up, its DICE )

i thought it would suck because of the 24 player limit.. but if they really increase this to 64 for the pc version it might get interesting - also in terms of mods etc

[charliegrs]

dice should just release a new engine that supports 128 players and with an open source code and just give it to the PR team so they can actually make a good game out of it.

[abbadon101]

That would be SWEET

[Arnoldio]

Its 3 maps, Wake, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal...its gona be great minigame, especially with the frostbyte everythingisf*ckedupable engine

Heros is fun, but this is gonna be great IMO.

It's just the one map, to keep us busy while waiting for Bad Company 2.
And I am not fond of the consoles getting preferential treatment these days, seems like PC is getting passed over for alot of games and we're stuck waiting for months for a port.

Having subscribed to the newsletter I got the HD version of the vid in the mail today, and it looks pretty fun, although I am naturally, like everyone else, sick to death of WW2 by now.
