funny how he justifies 16 player limit by some lame excuse. we've all played 34 player MP action in GR, and if anyone says that an 8 vs 8 is more fun, or tactical or whatever, you know he's a liar. if i were making an MP game for consoles i wouldn't talk about the real reasons behind such low MP limits either...
LOL yeah I just saw that... because it's a slow team based squad shooter.. Maybe on PC, but on X360 in those vids it looks like a run n gun shooter.. 64 players would work well with what we saw there. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I agree about the number of players. Truth is unless the xbox live service starts getting dedicated servers it's going to be this way. As it is now....xbox live is very immature compared to pc online gaming.
When he said the "Xbox 360 is the only platform with the capabilities to do such things" I think he was talking about other consoles not pc....would be my guess anyway. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif
About the run and gun though...Serellen (the guy talking on the video) posted this on the ghostrecon.net boards.
"On the "run and gun" thing, it really is how you play and what you choose for game modes. Most of the time, you can try run and gun, but you will just die tired. You can move and fire pretty well with something light, like the MP5-SD, but of course, your opponents can still drop you with one round from the SR-25.
However, if you like "meat grinder" games, you can set up something like a solo elimination game with infinitine respawns. You want slow paced, you set up a team territory game with no respawns (or limited ones). People slow WAY down when one shot can eliminate them from the game, and there is a real consequence for dying.
Do please take into account that "action" tends to be what gets into the videos, because it doesn't make for exciting videos to watch someone slowly move through a map, checking each corner and covering their six. But do expect that you will be doing a lot of that in GRAW MP (unless you want to die a lot)." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
That quote is so true....the videos released are all about marketing and from the sounds of it you can customize the gameplay so much if you want tactical you can have it, if you want run and gun same...if you want a mix just set it up that way. There will be alot of servers that have different kinds of gameplay.
