32 people online?!?!?!

PatrickPryor · 05-14-2005

I wonder if this is a good thing or bad thing. I mean....what about lag and stuff? :(

I'm not too thrilled about it. Just read my latest news post at my clan website. How will we be able to communicate with 15 other people on our team?

S2 servers are old and crappy. These servers will obviously be an upgrade with there being a 2 year difference. Also, if you don't like it, then all you have to do is create a game with only 16 max players.

I'm thrilled! They aren't stupid enough to make such a change if the servers can't handle it. This will add tons of fun to the game. You could fit your entire clan on one side! Think of the clan wars!

i don't think it's gonna lag.

on the videos there were like 25 people running in circles with m60s just blasting and there where a few trucks driving inbetween and it wasn't laggin at all.

this also might just be cuz there were probably only the testers on the servers and not 50,000 people.

The only that might suck is that getting hold of the mic might be hard.
16 people fighting over the mic might be a problem

Unless they double the clan size

I can't wait! This will be so awesome I'm heading to gamestop tomorrow to reserve it! 32 players probably won't lag for that reason: zipper is not stupid. They know what they're doing and can hold the fort down a little on lag. New online architecture will be awesome beyond belief.

yes also id read that the socom 2 servers were some old ones from socom 1(which means by now they are waaaaaay older than 2 years which makes a difference.) so that would explain alot of the lag and them haveing to do maintanence so much.new servers will have to be done for what they are talking about plus i cant see them putting something out thats laggy fromt he start. i know its been a loooong time but anyone who had the game the first few months got to experience hardly any lag if any at all when the game launched so why would this one, thats like them shooting themselves in the foot.

How old were the original servers for SOCOM 1? Maybe those were old servers and weren't new for SOCOM 1. So the SOCOM II servers wouldv'e had like possibly 4-5 year old servers. I hope these servers are freaking brand new. Like a baby's *** new.

The servers have been changed and the coding for the game has also been changed. That alone will improve lag. And with maps being so huge, the frame rate won't become an issue either.

Ya they would not put all that into s3 without thinking about lag.
