not allowed? what do you mean?

From everything we know, the server and client executable would have to be modified to get this working.

Modifying them is against the EULA.

(We call this question style ... clutching at straws)

Since the server says its 128 players, and the server itself does not crash over 64, only the clients, I'd say its a fair guess.

It would be a similar change to the client, but as I said earlier, EA would probably flip if we tried to distribute a modified client, and Punkbuster might not work with it.

... thats all I can say really ...

Fvck the EULA, wtf is EA gonna do??

"Oh all of a sudden we care about our poor little game that we COMPLETLY abandoned and ruined ourselves, while these guys made it fvcking awsome and actually got people to buy BF2 and start playing it agian, waahhh waaahh"

lol. Screw them. You guys have done more for this game than EA ever could of hoped to do for it.

um... I would be completely fine with distributing a modified BF2.exe *if* we could make it work reliably for 128 AND <64p servers.

One thing thats bad is that we need more squads with 63 players on each team (commander is taken out) we need at least 10,5 squads, right now we only are allowed to make 9. Thats 9 persons without a squad.....
Then i would quit for sure

Actually, Im only really interested in this for the Tournament. This would enhance the battles so much more. The 9 players without a squad in the Tourny would have there own TS channel to join so it would work out.

Then my opnion is invalid.

The problem with the modified BF2.exe I forsee is what about other mods? I wonder if we could run our own BF2.exe without problems from a sub-folder.

yeah i agree, whats wrong with making more players in the servers? they cant hurt u with that xD


(ow en leuk om ff een andere nederlander te zien xD)

Man 128 Players on those 17Km Maps, Itd be a Match for Arma quite literally, it would also be heaven for Aircraft and Choppers with Plenty of Targets and a good Suad willing to Designate Targets.... *drools*

But if the EULA stuff is true isnt it Bad to EA if you Modify thier Models?

Hmm, I know, that NovaLogic allowed the IC mod for their game Joint Operations to increase the player limit from 150 to 250 (altough most servers are 64 like BF2, since not all can support so much players). They even gave them their super mod tools, while the rest of the community had to deal with the limited consumer versions of the software...they got leaked anyways, so now everyone has them

And EA bought NovaLogic years ago, since back then Delta Force series was a big hit, so almost the same family...

Im thinking, that Evilhomer should send a request to the EA in the name of the community, and kindly ask them to let them modify the .exe to have more than 64 players, or give the R-Dev team the source code ...

Man... i hope we can make this work!!!

would be like secks

There's a mod for BF2 that allows you to make a single player game with 128 bots. Surely it can be applied to multiplayer....

well, all it changes is the number of bots the game loads. Having online players joining is totally different.

would be like secks

It would be even BETTER........ maybe...

lol.. xD having secks with your disk xD

There shouldn't be a problem with unilateral distribution of a changed .exe file if BSS makes sure all mod creators are using it. PB is another issue though obviously.
