hi i have been watching the tests with 128 players and i wanted to know.
if it is possible to have like 80 or 72 players per server ?
just rise the number enough to fit a few more players...
since more than a 100 seems to impact in performance and need better hardware and connection...maybe a small number would be easier to implement or to run a server?
i mean a common pr bf2 server (hardware and connection) would be able to run with 72 or 80 players?

Yes, 100 player servers are currently being developed by our development team.
We're also working on adapting the gameplay and maps to support this higher player number.
There will also be public 100p tests in the future again.

Yes you can have lower than 100p. But 100p has proven to be the best

69 players should be the new 64 standard

100p right on would be perfect, i find 32 only leaves like 4-5 squads, not immersive as I would like it to be.

thanks for answering, never saw so many full servers like today ... having at least more 10 slots would be great and would not need gameplay changes .

What i wanted to know is ...if adding like 10 more player (74 total)... would this be easier to implement and require less work and no changes in game play and assets ?

He is trolling...
Common dude, see past the german effectivness, inside they are all soft and warm like the rest of us.
I personally like 200 players
But I am very much looking forward to 100 players that the developers are working so dilligently on.
I think it is well worth the wait!

not bothered by 69p

but why 100 and not 128? how would 28 people less improve gameplay?

The game is limited to 9 squads, so there is definitely an upper limit to what is manageable in terms of squad sizes.

200 player was nice with organized events with Sl's that could handle 15man squads

For overall daily gameplay I think the DEVS made a nice decision putting it at 100p. I can imagine after there release to also see a few servers with around 80p too if they allow. That might be a nice number too. This allows the same what we have now with 1,5 extra infantry squad.
