EA's dissaproval of modded BF3 servers allowing 128 players...?

[Cowabungaa]

I actually would. Pure madness like that is about the only way I can have fun in a multiplayer shooter that isn't coop. When I play TF2 I look for servers with at least 25 players on, and I have the most fun when there's queues to get in. It means I don't have to worry about practicing or taking the game seriously to have fun.

I'm a BF3 player, and let me tell you; it wouldn't be the right kind of madness. Sure, you wouldn't have to worry about practicing, because you wouldn't get the chance for it, you wouldn't get the chance to do anything. 128 Players would mean levels with rows and rows of (baseraping) snipers that'll kill you right after you spawn, queues in front of vehicles which won't survive for longer than 10 seconds thanks to rockets and mines everywhere, that sort of stuff.

Basically, the game would be unplayable, and that's not madness, that's being broken.

Not to mention that there's already room for the good kind of madness. The levels of the Back to Karkand pack for example, good heavens they're crazy. And not to mention that you can do stuff like this:
I fucking love C4.

It's like EA have no clue how games work or something. One of the best parts of PC gaming is that games can be modded.

Give this man a cookie!

Indeed, there is a long list of games I wish could be modded. I love the mods for L4D2 - especially the Miku mod. Weeee!!

Cool, thanks for pointing the 128 person servers out... I'm off to go find and play them!

It might have something to do with 128 person BF games being fucking awful.

Just because its awful doesn't mean that EA should crack down on them

Up yours EA.

Yeah, I ain't got anything witty to say. Take a leaf from EA's book and say what they always say to us PC gamers: "Screw 'em."

EA is choking on that Jelly that they didn't get the servers to work like that first. Stay Free EA and we'll keep on modding.

I'd say it's an issue if it's ranked. 128 players is a clusterfuck of players and would be an insane amount of points for any decent player.

If it's unranked I see no reason why it'd matter.
