I usually dont post here but the amount of stupidness in this thread is funny.  If you would read what's on the websites/etc, you would notice a couple of things.

Bf1943 only has 24 player support and 3 maps because it's a PREPARATION for BF:BC 2.  Basically they're releasing it over the summer for players to get used to the Frostbite engine being used on the PC to get people either prepared or more convinced to buy a more full release with the Frostbite engine, that being BF:BC 2 in the winter.

Neither games will be ported from anything.

Is this an assumption, or do you have links supporting your theory?

Someone can tie me down and shovel dog turds into my mouth, but it doesn't mean I'll eventually like it.

If It doesn't have at least 48 player support, It's not a battlefield game in my eyes.

No, instead it's a console battlefield game

Not a battlefield game.

That trailer was actually the most violent thing i've seen dice pump out. I mean blood, in a BF trailer? I though everyone bled dust in the Battlefield world!

A remake of BF2? Without jets? With 24 man maximum? What crippled version of BF2 did you buy.

So bad company 2 is 24 player max?  Or you on about bad company

Well, it doesn't look too good player limit wise for this new engine. All Frostbite engine games that we know of have 24 players max. Namely Bad Company and 1943, both FB games. This new title, BC2, doesn't have any information yet regarding player limits.

We currently have no other information to prove or disprove of the fact that more than 24 players can be on a server simultaneously with this engine. It'd be a real pain if FB's player max is 24. I hope we get some more information, thus answers to our questions. I hope BC2 will have more than 24.

However, according to Wikipedia (not sure if we can trust them completely, but EA's been known to edit Wiki on occasion ):

Modified Frostbite Engine

2142 uses a modified Refractor 2 engine. It had some more features BF2 lacked, which used the same engine. In 2142, players can withstand slight movement on vehicles like the Titan, explosives could be picked up with G, widescreen support, buddy lists, and so on. I'm sure there are bigger changes others can point out.

Now I've never played 1942, but it's safe to assume BF2 uses a modified Refractor 2 engine from 1942 as well.

quick question, why exactly is a 24p limit bad?

You know I'm not really sure about that either, half the time on games with like 32 peeps and up you never see more than eight at a time anyway, unless its Kark IO or something. The servers would be easier to fill on 24 as well.

I at least ask for 32 player max for PC version. Although 64 is nice, I hated the lag involved in it.

Looks like a remake of BF2. I'm not complaining as long as the PC version has awsm graphics and better hitreg.

how does that look anything like BF2?

I see optics in those screenshots! Maybe well get weapon customization!

how about quality.

It's a lot more fun if you play it more than 2 days.

BFBC is a really good game for xbox360.
i just hate that fact that you need to empty a full mag to kill someone.
and that no prone thing is bullshit.

They got rid of prone to basically "Balance the classes" . Oh and you don't have to empty a full mag to kill someone, are you spraying like crazy or are you using a cqc gun at long range?
