Tyler_Durden Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I've been wondering this since it was announced that battlefront will have a maximum of 32 players over the internet. Now those of you who have played battlefield 1942 know that the maximum number of human players is 64. what i would like to know is will there be additional NPC's for instance more rebel or imperial NPC's in addition to the ones that are humans so that you could have battles up to at least 50 players total? That's not including other npc's such as sand people, ewoks, gungans, etc. I think there was a way on other games where you could actually make a mod so that you could have more people than what was the maximum on a shipped game, an example is doom 3's max of 4 people upped to what i believe was 16.

Dragnarr Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 You mean bots? I recall someone saying in a preview that atleast consoles will have 16 players + bots to boost it into 32, but dunno about PC version, we shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Dark Jedi Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Yeah they will otherwise it would be wierd on Endor with only 8 vs 8 not including ewoks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 You can easily edit the max players thing, they put the value to 32 so they can only be blamed for problems with less than 33 players. There will be bots that can be used extra (i hope they dont take a player space) and in tatooine the tusken raiders will have their own capture point. You can defeat them and gain the point or ignore them and battle some of them once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortenyo Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I think 64, but that is a goal and not something to take as a fact as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDKnite188 Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I have learned over time that LEC declares a maximum number of players that is too low for their PC games. For example, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy supposedly had a maximum of 16 players, but I played on many servers that had from 20 to 32 player limits.

Tyler_Durden Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 Was there any slow down or lag from playing on those servers? I am concerned about this most of all cause i want to have some big, epic battles but it's kind of hard to do when you only have 32 players max in a game with huge maps like these have. It would be kind of empty, you know what i mean? I would go for at least 46 players minimum with the option to have up to 64 max with bots included. That would at least make the game more epic and there would never be a dull moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
