Played this game for about 3 years, just thought i'd share a few videos. Still blows me away how stunning this game looks after all this time.

Bloody hell Daz that brings back memories mate. Not played the game in a long time but had some great nites on that.

I remember those mad wars you would have on it - i think it where there was like 3 or 4 factions fighting at the same time? was like hundreds and hundreds people fighting at the same time. Quality game  8)

Yeah 3 factions, 1500 players per server, the game had so much potential but the performance of the game is bad. they are still working to make things better but the scale is just amazing.
I could just imagine battlefield with the ps2 scale that would be out of this world.

1500 players per server - insane :)

Imagine 1500 Players on a Bf server,witha map beyond believe bigger than ....holy Crap,cant even imagine :)4

Was thinking the same thing hans, it would be so epic. Planetside is the only game to actually pull this off, the technology is there but dice need to step out of the 64 player comfort zone.

Absolutely mate. We had 64 player servers for BF1942 - and that's going all the way back to 2002-2003 period when Broadband was just in its early years (well in the UK anyway). You would think EA with modern hardware / Networks they could probably be a bit braver and go for 80 player servers at least and then gradually go to 100 at some point in the future.

I really hope it will happen one day, EA/dice have the money and resources, maybe a game that big is a nightmare to balance who knows.

But a higher numbers of Players on a server is possible,maybe up to 200,(as seen on other MMOG like World of Warcraft for Example),or is it on BF technicaly limitet,because of limited servers space? (sorry,dont know how to say exactly in Engl,but i think u guys know^^) ???
