Re: PC Features (and beta news)
Wow I was not in any way expecting them to rise the player count. Maybe I've doubted Dice too much... Oh well won't do the same mistake again! Brilliant!
Oh and don't miss this:With the huge success of the PS3 Beta we decided to drastically increase the PC Beta's capacity to insure as many people as possible could participate. Unfortunately this meant we had to delay the Beta to very early next year giving us more planning time to make it happen and implement more optimizations.|TG-SC| Flik.: im gonna run it in 256 colours and 640x480 rofls

Re: PC Features (and beta news)
Sweet. I figured 32 players was coming but its good to get confirmation on a few other things. In particular:
- "Private Servers - and ability to rent servers for hosting and controlling private password protected competitive servers with expanded control over the settings from public ranked servers."
- a different squad system on PC - not sure what more control means but updated from past BFs to me implies we should not be taking a step backwards
- they specifically mention voip in the enhanced gameplay section - consoles have voip - squad to squad talk = enhanced?

I heard this on the radio today: I feel like there's chocolate rain pouring down
Too bad the beta is delayed though.

Yay for peripheral support! Too many games miss that out (I'm angry at you, OFP2).
Also yay for 32 players and the squad system!|TG-Irr| westyfield
