- WTF is "16-player Single player"???
-
#1.1 Posted by LOC on 03 Jun 2005 - 00:12
- It is exactly what is says, the one map will support 16 to 32 players on multiplayer, and 16 players in the singleplayer which will be a bot match.

- lmao yeah but regardless it still sounds a bit ironic.

- I think the wording is just poor. From what I read into it, it says that you can play offline with bots.

- Why is 32 players is always the maximum for multiplayer games?
-
#6.1 Posted by Smigit on 03 Jun 2005 - 05:17
- The game itself has a limit of 64 I believe, 32 is the max for the demo. I also play on 40 player CS source servers.

- isn't it based on the amount of people playing on the server? some maps are expandable and certain vehicles wont be available unless 32 or 64 players are involved? planes for example, wont be on the map unless there are 64 players on it?

- ??? Where did you read that? There are the same amount of vehicles no matter how many people play… or that is how it is for BF’42 and ‘Nam

- I read that , yes, certain part of maps will be disabled if say the number of players are less than the threshold of that map.
But I didn't read about the vehicles being disabled.. -

- It makes sense, as the last thing you want is a boring vehicle fest with only 8 players. It will probably still be an option, so it should be available for players that want that.
Here is the information from the forum post for you all to gawk over:
Official Battlefield 2 Demo: Although final dates for the Battlefield 2 demo have not been locked down we understand we will be allowed to make it available in little over a week. Once again these features are not 100% final but the demo will contain:
Version 2.0.1
Windows
- Added Debug Mode menu item. Hold down the control and shift modifier keys and click the icon in the system tray to access it. Once on, this option overrides any Widget's debug setting when launched. No more having to modify a Widget just to turn debugging on.
- Fix strange rounding issues with CPU Portal.
- Deal properly with missing parameters to COM calls.
- Fix several memory leaks in filesystem.isDirectory, Konspose, Reminder Window and About Boxes.
- Fix window title of preferences window to be the name of the Widget.
- Fix some divider issues in the Widget context menu.
- Fixed issue bringing up Preferences in Calendar ("The parameter is incorrect" error, or crash).
- Fixed problem where if an error happened during onLoad and the window object was marked visible even though no platform window had been shown, we would not display an error.
- Fixed problem where we were passing INPROC_HANDLER in our context flags to createObject. This fixes the problems people were seeing connecting to Outlook in PIM Overview (we hope).
- Made tellWidget non-blocking to all a tellWidget back to originator as well as COM to be used while handling the tellWidget call. Fixes problem where double-clicking a date in Calendar wasn't talking to Outlook properly.
- Fixed 'secure' attribute for items used with form() function.
- Fixed keydown/up handlers at the Widget level. Fixes key events in game Widgets like Brick n Ball.
- Fixed dynamic text area resizing. Fixes Widgets such as Paper.
- Fixed scrolling text (in iTunes Remote for example).
- Fixed small issue with registration code checking for double-byte languages.
- Fixed crash in Battery Widget that would occur after wake from sleep.
- Fixed problem where pressing keys while over an Image or Text object (which don't handle keys) could cause a crash.
- Fixed a problem where setting the src of an image sometimes would not change the displayed image (particularly if both images were the same size).
- Fixed a problem with random() which made it ignore its arguments if any of them were floating point numbers.
- Fixed problem with setting HSL adjustment values to floating point numbers (which can easily happen in JavaScript).
- Fixed mouseEnter/Exit when tracking is "rectangle" (fixes iTunes Companion).
- Fixed bug which caused the use of forms make Widgets silently exit on 10.2
- Fixed poor moveTo() performance of Window objects.
- Fixed problem playing certain sound formats.
- Fixed problem which caused large images to be loaded from disk more often than strictly necessary (improves Picture Frame performance).
- Fixed problem with encoding handling that showed up on Japanese systems.
- Fixed crash when a Widget with no window defined in the XML tried to create a window in JavaScript.
- Added debug mode switch to Konfabulator menu (hold down Control+Shift when clicking on the gear icon to add a "Debug Mode" item to the menu; when checked it causes any Widgets started subsequently to open their debug windows).
- Added a check that the name given when creating a window in JavaScript is a valid JavaScript name (same rules as for names in the XML). An error appears in the Debug Window if a name isn't valid.
- Updated traditional Chinese translation.
- Fixed problem where PIM Widget was not disconnecting from Outlook properly.
- Added ability to read iCalendar (.ics) files in PIM Overview on Windows as well.
- Fixed issues with The Weather when resizing and it encountered the bottom of the screen.
- Fixed problem in Waste Basket where the context menu said "Trash" instead of "Recycle Bin" on Windows.
- Tweaks to changes to The Weather's feed.
