1 - Definitely a rumor

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but these don't seem feasible having played the game. The graphical update happened before the beta (you can see the large difference in the trailers on PSN), most of the maps are not big enough for 64 players, and the weapons scheme doesn't really support new weapons.

I hope I am wrong, because that would make this great game even better, but I won't be getting my hopes up.

1.1 - Your prolly rite

but i disagree about the maps being too small for 32x32, Ecudia and Island outpost were deifnately big enough for 64 players

1.2 - Eucadia YES

Island Outpost, no, mainly due to the reason for it's name. Eucadia could probably hold more than 64! That was by far my favorite map in the beta, and probably my favorite overall map for any online game.

Island Outpost is my favorite level in the game, and I have to agree that at 32 players, it's plenty crowded enough. Sooooo much fun though.

No way will it be 64 players, the maps arent big enough and i dont think it would be possible without serious lag. And i cant see the graphics getting alot better because the beta was unbelivebly good looking.

i dnt know about 32 by 32 or graphical overhaul since the graphics were already rock solid. The 32X32 would probably be feasible. Would be very hectic but feasible the maps can definetly support 64 just that ppl would be all over the place and everyone would keep dying. It would be a nice feauture. New weapons has gotta come thru, i wanna try out some new weapons and i think this would be easy to implement by just limiting the amount of weapons you are allowed to carry the weapon scheme would be better. New vehicles are very very needed. Just a tank and a jeep gets lame after a while. Maybe some kinda bike that was faster than d jeep would have been cool. All in all i believe i will see something new and improved since the beta seemed so good already really don't see what else they have been working on, i mean its not like the game has single player. I will totally get downloadable content too. I bet thats where the 64 player matches come from

No map in the game can fill 32 vs 32. for 16 vs 16 the maps are so small and you only get 2mins to play unless you camp the game then you get more than 2mins

Well R:FOM can pull of 40 players with ZERO LAG....(you hear that "Tears of Bored" 4 vs. 4 WITH LAG!)...HAHHAAHHAAHHAHH

So I wouldn't be surprised for 64 players.

Next gen..."Tears of Bored" 4 vs. 4 WITH LAG!)...HAHHAHAHHAH. "Jump In"

Hey XBOTS, I hope you robots recuperated over the weekend from all that BEATING that Sony gave you last week (HELL WEEK)....HAHHAAHHAHHHA

I think it would be cool to see some new weapons. Plus even some new vehicles. But the other stuff really does not make that much sense. I do think the graphics will look better so that is good. As for the maps being able to fight 32 vs 32 not that big of a chance this will happen. But if Warhawk can pull all this off it would be sweet.

I thought at one time, that they had said their matches would be 64 player matches. A long time ago, that is, around the time they announced it would be strictly multiplayer. I did not get in the beta, so I don't know about the maps, but I expected more than 32 players.

It is. The battle for eucadia map for example is gigantic when fully expanded and feels "just right" with 32.

They did talk about it...Some IGN guy was invited to their "warhawk Wednesday" thing back at the Gamer's Day convention...in which they illustrated how stream-lined the code was...and they had 32 people in Santa Monica Studio's office, playing 32 people at the Incognito office in Salt Lake City...

I agree...some maps would be fine for 64...some wouldn't...I am very happy with the 5 "levels" they already have (some of the smaller map sections are perfect for smaller battles)...and the vehicles are already very balanced in terms of speed and fire power (the Warhawk's MG was the only thing that REALLY needed work)...

they joked around on some of this on the Beta forum for the game...I wouldn't be so quick to say that all of it is fake...

I expect a game on PS3 to reach 64 person multi, but I don't think it will be this one.

Hope its killzone lol. I wanna see 64 man maps while preserving that level of graphics, the multi maps were quoted as being "planet sized".

Does any game on 360 get to just 32?

At this rate they can cancel Socom and I wont even be mad. Ok ok maybe I would be a little ticked off. I love Socom. But I do think my copy of Socom will collect dust if I own this. I hear nothing but great news from Beta testers.

12.2 - Two totally different experiences

This game is online multiplayer, but that's where the similarities stop. Warhawk has more of an arcade feeling, and the option of getting into a warhawk gives it even another dimension (which a lot would argue is better than ground combat). Both of these games are going to be awesome, but in completely seperate ways.

Is anyone here playing Rainbow 6 Vegas online? That's fun as hell too. The online coop story mode is a great option too.

yeah I picked it up last weekend...It is pretty good...nice and slow compared to other games I have been playing...I am still working on the single player game just to not suck at it as much...the tactical nature makes me really bad so far, I am used to simply strafing and firing...or getting in a vehicle...all I had been playing before Vegas was the Warhawk beta...

PSN: Kleptic ...I'll probably start playing around online whenever now...I think I am almost done with the campaign...

it doesnt have to be 32vs32 really does it, perhaps 20 vs 20, 22 vs 22 etc. thats would be epic. i didnt think 16 players was enough per team, but after the rave responses it doesnt sound like a problem.

EZCheez - 897 days 17 hours ago

14.1 - Trust me

16 per team gave just enough time to breath before getting shot at. The only thing that ruins the high numbers is when hosts choose the wrong map (5 "worlds" that can be subdivided into 25 different maps). It gets INSANE when there are 32 players on a small map, and sometimes unbearable.

yeah I didn't think it would be enough either...but when you are gaurding your base in a flak turret...and 4 Warhawks and 5 tanks start rolling in...it gets completely crazy really quickly...

The game works perfectly with that amount of people...and in fact...I seemed to have the most fun with even less people at times...8 on 8 on some of the map layouts were absolutely perfect...especially in zones...

I doubt any of that is true. 32x32 seems a little extreme, the graphics already look great, and it seemed like they had a good amount of weapons. The only thing in that article I could believe would be having some DLC at or near launch.

Having 4 new vehicles would be nice, because the game seems a little empty with only 3 types, and six in total. It would be nice to see a bike or a boat or something, but I doubt that will happen.
