LOC Veteran Posted October 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted October 5, 2009 I would gather that it's because most of the sales for the game would be in the US, so they want to cater to that audience. Personally as an American, I'd rather play as an SAS or some other special forces group from another country. Hell, even the US has good special forces units, but no it's always the Marines or Army because we buy the games lol That's not to say, that Europe, Asia etc don't buy the games either. They certainly do! But I think you guys know what I mean. I hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 They aren't covering the fact it's basically a console shooter, from the STEAM description ... :laugh: *A visceral, thrilling core combat experience *World's most accessible, immersive & engaging sandbox wargame *The biggest military toy-box ever seen on a console FPS *On-line presence <-- Que O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadeater Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Word on the street is, the multiplayer segment of the map is limited to a 2x2km square ... I hope that's some sort of joke, that's barely the size of the main airport in ArmA II That limit was imposed because the console version couldn't handle anything higher. Their netcode might be screwed up in general, we'll see. We could be playing 128 player MP right now, but thanks to all the ignorant console-playing doofuses out there with their Gaymer Tags and Lo$er Points we get dumbed-down garbage that is even less sophisticated than PC games from two years ago! I am sick of this console **** ruining PC games! If Co**masters had any sense they'd upgrade the PC version to make it something worth buying over the console version. It's possible Co**masters might release a patch for the PC version to unlock the island and player limit. Or maybe a modder will do it. With a 40-player limit and 2x2km MP this game doesn't even beat BF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethos Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'd like to put that size into perspective by comparing it to the map size of its spiritual brother, ArmA 2 - Remember, in ArmA 2, the entire map is available in MP as well with 128 players, 128 Co-op I believe and Campaign Co-op it's 5 players occupying the razor team. The red box is the map size available in OFP2 MP, with only 32 players - 16 on both sides. It's really disappointing considering it's heritage, I was even a bit generous doing that square.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted October 5, 2009 Author Subscriber² Share Posted October 5, 2009 Anyone know the map sizes for MAG? I know it's hardly as good graphically as OFP2, but all they had to do was scale down the graphics for the console MP. I see no reason to gimp the PC because of the consoles...
