Am I reading too much into it when I think that balancing the game for 24 players and 64 won't work out?
Kinda hoping on that one. PC-Blops didnt work with more players because the maps were too small, the same even applies to BC2 with 8 more players being a bit too much for chokepointheavy maps like Port Valdez or Laguna Alta. But they promised that BF3 will have way larger maps than any Battlefield so far, some in Bf2 and 2142 were perfect for that huge amount of players (Strike at Karkand or Minsk)

Some of the newer BC2 maps are pretty large, as are some of the vietnam ones; BC2 got squad stuff down okay.
But honestly not looking good this one, with less players. Also: Fucking unlocks. Gah.

the bf2 maps also came in different sizes, for different player counts. By balance for different player numbers they mean make a huge 64 player map, then chop it up for smelly console players. Or maybe make it for 24 players and then bolt on extra areas, shudder.

i predict that the karkand map will be missing the warehouse district across the river and instead only have a single cp over the river

Err.. unless you've bought a duff version, BFBC2 does have a single player? AND... so amazed by those game BFBC3 graphics! Hope the gameplay is good!

Not BFBC2, Junta. BF2.
This isn't BFBC3, it's BF3. Battlefield Bad Company is the consolised small numbers version of Battlefied. Regular Battlefield games (Battlefield 1942, vietnam, 2, 2142 and now this, 3) had much bigger maps (up to 64 players) and many more vehicles on the go at once (planes... helicopters... tanks)

Ah but you forget Hz. With more tanks, comes more oposing tanks. The force multiplication of one tank with Disco in is insufferable, but with more tanks on the field, more people take anti tank gear and more tanks are out to get him. Not to mention Helicopters...
Is it me, or does bc2 have one attack helo in the entire game?

battlefield took us a long time to get into hzza. me and brahms have over 400 hours back in the day on bf2. not to mention a bunch in 2142, bc2, a little CODUO. 60 hours isnt enough and I think part of the problem is so many bc2 maps focus on infantry its hard for people to learn vehicles because theres never enough available, so the bf veterans like me have the advantage. I'm pleased though that they are properly branching off the infantry focus into the bc series. bf2 was full of whiners who wanted infantry only mode which was just stupid, it gimped the anti tank classes and couple it with hardcore and you gimp recon as well. COD does infantry only much better and people should play that instead of ruining my tanks :<

CODUO
LAZZARS! Where are you? He lent me the original CoD and its expansion way back when. UO CTF with Jeeps was one of the best things ever.

Yeah, in BF2, a tank in a city was at once invincible and vulnerable. Bad company tanks seem to fight in more open areas with chokepoints that can be locked down.
Balancing vehicles with frostbite will be interesting though, a tank becomes a lot more dangerous when it can blow up the house you're trying to hide in...
