Battlefield 3 capable of 256 players online

By Jonny

According to DICE CEO Patrick Soderlund, Battlefield 3 is capable of supporting up to 256 players in its online multiplayer, which rivals the PS3 exclusive MAG. In an interview with Atomic Maximum Power Gaming, Partick gave the below statement.

"A lot of people ask us about 64 versus 128 or 256 players. Technically, we can go to 256, we've tried it. We play tested with 128. You've got to make a game that's fun to play and, arguably, we think that the most fun you can have is when it's between 32 and 40 players."

So even though Battlefield can support this crazy amount of people, I doubt we will see it in the final game, unless of course you play the PC version. Then I'm sure the community will work their magic.
