24 player online!

[nu_ignition]

In one of the new videos, Neko says that it'll be 4 player co-op via online, LAN, split-screen and a combination of all of them, and also 24 player online.

I'm quite glad it isn't any more than that, otherwise lag really does take hold.

24 is plenty, but I think splitscreen is limited to 2 player, unless it's over LAN, in which case you can probably get 4 players over two machines...

I hope there's a Hard mode going in for co-op... wait, what am I saying? This is FRD right? lol

thats freakin awesome! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Sweet as moonshine!

[sanderDrost]

24 is good enough, i dont think more would lag though but its more that i like it when its not to much. to many people speaking and stuf.

[TerranUp16]

It depends on what modes they're offering. I'd heard mention in one of the videos or interviews that Haze would feature a more tactical mode- I'm guessing a beefed-up version of TS2/TS:FP's Assault mode- which might be better-served by 32.

Sounds glorious.

my experience with tactical modes and 16 vs 16 or more is that almost all players go theyre own way and theres no team play, no certain strategie discussed and stuf. but if its like 8 vs 8 that theres more listening to eachother and theres more teamplay.( this is with random teams, not clan wars etc.)

this is how i experience it.

[TerranUp16]

Don't use Battlefield as a reference- it does a poor job of reinforcing the need to team play. If the game's design does a good job of fomenting teamplay, it won't matter how many players are on a team.

24 players sound awesome.
I would enjoy a hectic 24 player free for all death match in a small arena. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/784.gif

You want good solid team play? Remake Battlezone II. 'nuff said.

[sygmazx7]

i wouldn't mind any mode, just bring on the game! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

You know what they say....the more the merrier! Or was that better, or mass carnage? Whatever the online player limit may be, I for one am going to be a happy camper once I get a copy in my grubby little hands!

[The.Godlock]

Nice, 24 players sounds great indeed.

Wasn't Battlefield 2 Mondern Combat also 24 players? I think so, and it played awesome. But then again, that game runs on EA's deticated servers.

[DeadPool1990]

id love 24 players on the 360, cuz that what i got. i could easily see myself having ridiculous LAN parties w/ my friends for this game, itd own!

[TicTac166]

24 is decent, but I would like it to be more around 40 like Resistance.

[Rc_guy24]

24 seems like it will be too crowded for this kind of game but if it was a game like battlefield I could understand. Oh well Im sure their will be an option to put max room size.

[TerranUp16]

They've already said that multiplayer matches will forward the storyline, so I'm willing to bet that the main multiplayer mode will be far more akin to Timesplitter's Assault mode rather than its Deathmatch modes. Anyway, TS2 and TS: FP allowed for 10 bots and 4 players splitscreen on the GameCube, and matches never felt crowded- ever, and I'd think Haze would have larger levels anyway.

[DeadPool1990]

whats goin on is that the assault modes will provide sum extra info on the storyline, but wont be necessary to understand the game at all Ex: in the SP, you hear theres a battle goin on sumwhere that you have to get to. The MP map will be that battle before the SP character gets there. Another scenario could be the rebels captured a Mantel camp in SP. The Mp would be the actual attack and defense of the camp.

[Rasomaso]

The idea...

"in the SP, you hear theres a battle goin on sumwhere that you have to get to. The MP map will be that battle before the SP character gets there."

...is great! I can't wait to see what's it gonna be really like http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif


p.s. it looks kinda weird when you both have the same avantar ha ha

[DeadPool1990]

yea, lol, im new to the forum Rasomaso, im still feelin it out, its different than the one at Epicgames.com

[Dr._Dementia]

24 is a good amount. But is there going to be custom classes?

Try Resistance for lag free, 40 player games http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_redface.gif

I don't see why we should expect to see lag in Haze...

[BllBanks]

its sexayyy

[billbanks]

when ya say 24 player do ya mean 24 on 24 or max 12 on 12?

[deded999]

24 in total, so up to 12 vs 12.

[ladon68]

well idk bout that, resistance fall of man has a 40 player online thing, and it doesn't lag at all. i no cause i have that, but it would be kool to have tha 40 person<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by nu_ignition:

Resistance is hosted on Sony servers though, so you would expect them to have the best online experience. Third-party publishers historically haven't had quite the same level of support for online games. Here's hoping that changes sharpish. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/shady.gif

[TerranUp16]

Meh, Ubisoft may as well start gathering up servers now anyway, b/c they'll need them for the PC version (unless they cooperate with MS on Windows Live... [shivers]).

[atrueresistance]

ya i didn't see this anywhere so is there going to be support for bringing a guest online like on 360 for ps3?

And i agree they should get 40 like resistance. Imagine the Carnage

[NMCJackassxxx]

well black hawk down on the xbox supported up to 50 players so i don't understand why so many next gen games fail to even reach half of that.

[the_assassin_07]

Because they focus more on the actual gameplay not just the online play.

Sick. I hope the graphics aren't downgraded for multiplayer though. The PS3 has so much power though, I don't think they would need to do that anyway.
