now i know this is an emmense thing that would need a hell of alot of working out etc .

but wouldnt it be cool if there was a 3 way fight on one map, maybe a 96 player map, lol it would be complete mayhem being attacked from all sides no matter where u are, running around a corner and facing a mec and a chinese while usmc that would force u to work as a team,
   
          maybe even have it as a proper tourney where the first side to be knocked loses then the other 2 sides play as normal till there is one victorice team, the commanders would have to use there skills to the best abillities,
    and when i say a proper tourney i mean have it so clans no matter how small work there way through matches setup through ea/dice work towards this final match up, there could be rewards for the victors of the final 3 way battle.   

    lots of work would have to be done but hell wouldnt it be the mother of all fights.

     ps. off topic but can we have blood put into the game lol i wanna see my enemys brains on there best freinds shirt when i snipe there eye out.

but it should be 96 people on  16 map!!

with all vehichles and aircraft!!

lol like the idea.. all 3 sides.. FFA.. ^^

either urban terrain or a large island .. *yay*

But with no arty maybe...otherwise it'd just be a slaughter? 

nah have 4 countries, include britian, makes the number even then make it possible to allied up with a team whenever ya want and declare war on em, so say its 128 players britian an usa allied up to take out other 64 players, and then when they r wipe out the declare war on each other or even turn against em in middle of a fight so they get killed from both sides, so its 3v1 lol. total mayhem

i think u dont get the plot of this match idea, its about mayhem,anarchy,teamwork and not being able to sit down and camp a tank,heli etc etc,

            its not about alliances, its about none stop killing fields from start to finish, not sat on your lorals that thats where the enemy is but more in the fact that there is one enemy there and another over there hmm which to attack or defend from first.

       and if u want 64v32 then i think u arnt that good ingame and are just a frag grinder as that is somewhat majorly COWERDLY, ithanku

Wouldn't work. #1 server == teh melted. #2 your graphics card == teh melted.

actually yes it would work the server could take it with ease, espec if u make it a true urban war no tanks,planes,jeeps,chopers.  this would take the whoring out the match instantly, and many many many games can run this type of game with more players than we do and even have blood and gore effects to boot.

dont underestimate what a company like ea or dice could achieve

I think you give this game way too much credit. Do you host a server? Do you know what kind of machine it takes to run a 64 player server without introducing "server lag" to the connected clients? I do.

Yes, I KNOW that with broadband and all we ought to be able to produce 256 player games now, but that's hardly possible still. I would put down money that says the BF2 engine would need some kind of super overclocked Xeon to be able to handle 94 players -- safe bet though since it'll never have that option.

Regardless, if you did limit it to "urban" settings, then player's graphics cards would 'melt' -- or just 90% of the market wouldn't be able to run the game at any kind of decent performance. Scenery is not tough to render -- models, weapons, effects, sounds, etc (eg, all the things that a player brings to the render) are what slows down a computer. Introducing 96 different models, sounds, animations, effects, etc to an 'Urban' setting (close proximity) would drive even some of the highest end gaming machines to their knees begging for a dip in some kind of solvent.

Obviously we SHOULD be able to handle this, but we still can't. We OUGHT to have an evolution of the Quake3 engine (by far one of the best 3d engines to date) that could let us play that 256 player map with blood, gore, dynamic lights, pixel shaders, vehicles, etc -- but it hasn't happened yet. And the BF2 engine, in its current state, is NOT going to achive any of those lofty goals.

Lol, I figured there's at least be some photos in here.....

3-way?

Yes!

I was thinking this myself - a three way match would be fun indeed.

I'd add to this - add some standard maps that put the MEC against PLA (China)!
