I dont know but i think no game has ever increased "system requirements" after game official release, in patch-kind of form at least ? Not the minumum ones nor the recommented ones ?

But this would surely give some info for EA and Dice that ppl wants larger player limit atleast for the next Battlefield game. But afaik EA doesnt support ppl playing their older games after they have released new and similar kind of game, they want you to buy the new one.

Didn't crytek upgrade the graphics of farcry with a patch? That'd mean that the minimum requirements would have increased. Newer played it, but remember reading it somewhere when I was looking at some Crysis articles.

They left some of the more advanced shaders out of crysis too to increase performance and were planning to add them later on in a patch when hardware gets more advanced. Not sure if that's true or if it was just some speculation in the article.

I read that bf2 can be hacked so that there can be up to 150 players on a server at one time - at least 128. Why not 128 (64x2) instead of 114? PR mod maps are so huge, I think they deserve a capacity of at least twice as many players. [In single player mode, there can be up to 108 bots in BF2/BF2142. The bots have to be in a squad, however, to be active - 2 teams with 6 bots in each of 9 squads.]

Actually, I would like at least a 122 player limit:
2 teams, each with 6 players in each of 10 squads plus 1 commander for each team.

OR Even better:
144 (12 squads x 6 players x 2 teams) players + 2 commanders, i.e., 146 players.

If BF2 can be hacked, I don't see why we'd have to petition EA. Just create a short hacked patch for the client and server files that people can download - maybe into their mod or maps folders. With quad cores & 128+ GB RAM, servers should be powerful enough these days to handle at least 256 players at a time.

Upto 128 Players / Server Or Single Player..with Screens! - Official BF Editor Forums

Thanks,

I have also signed the petition.

that is NOT Hacking

Editing game files is NOT Hacking

A guy who downloads a cheat coder that bypasses PB is NOT a hacker

Misuse of this term is really starting to chap my ass

Hacker (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now I'm off to hack my way through my door, then Hack up the stairs before I hack into my 128bit bedsheet to get into my bed port

Thats one way to put it.

Either way I doubt it's as simple as going into the game files and switching a few numbers.

Sometimes it is really. But it's not hacking at all. I hate it when a player using an exploit is called a hacker. A smacktard and everything else that is ugly: yes! But not a hacker. Or using a tool that does the trick for you, it doesn't make you a hacker.. by far .

OMG, ok.

Let me change ONE word. Thank You.

I read that bf2 can be "EDITED" so that there can be up to 150 players on a server at one time - at least 128. Why not 128 (64x2) instead of 114? PR mod maps are so huge, I think they deserve a capacity of at least twice as many players...
