Only 24 Players in Battlefield 3 Team Deathmatch

[Aug 20, 2011, 6:57 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

BF3Blog has word that Team Deathmatch mode in Battlefield 3 will only support 24-players on all platforms, even Windows, though 64 player games will be supported on the PC in conquest mode. They note that these matches will be smaller infantry-focused battles without vehicles as a probable explanation for this decision. Thanks Joao.

I honestly could care less about TDM. I can count on one hand the number of times I have played something other than conquest In BC2 during the 230 or so hours I have spent playing since release. As long as all the conquest maps run at 64 players its all good. If there is a mix of player counts spread across all the maps things are not going to be fun. I wish EA would release solid details about the admin options we can expect with the servers we rent. I know most of the BC2 clan's are planning on renting BF3 servers, mine included, but some concrete details from EA would be nice. Even its just a 'it's pretty much like MOH's program' would work. Pricing information would be great as well. Our host says they will be renting out servers but they will not give pricing info. It would be nice to know if one can afford 10 servers slots or 25 slots. Ah well. Beta starts soon enough!
