According to the CEO of DICE, a 256-player multiplayer could be fun but not during an interview with Atomic, Patrick Soderlund, DICE CEO, spoke of some aspects of Battlefield 3, in particular the possibility of online multiplayer. "We look at the PC as the platform of choice for the game. The online multiplayer will have 64 players and dedicated servers," he said.
When he was asked if he could say more on this subject, Soderlund said: "Many people ask us how 64, 128 or 256 players. Technically, we could get to 256 players online, is something that we tested, as well as 128 players. Our goal, however, is to create a fun game, and we believe that games between 32 and 40 players represent the best solution from this point of view.
As I said, we did some testing with 128 players, and the results have been exciting. Maybe this is a problem of game design, however, believe there is really no advantage in going beyond the 64 players online. " Soderlund concluded the interview by stating, finally, that DICE is trying to implement the dedicated servers for multiplayer even in the console versions of Battlefield 3.
