Btw, I wouldn't get your hopes up for 64-player console battles just yet. The 64-player battles are a promised feature, yes, but it's a question of whether the PC and console builds will be different.
Because to date, no console game other than MAG on the PS3 has pushed player caps that high. And it's pretty common today that console and PC builds differ on a number of levels, usually in flexible caps like max players, draw distance, ect....
It's just that, recently, companies have found it's easier not to do two totally different builds, and the PC suffers for it.
So it remains to be seen if they've a) managed the console tech well enough to support 64-players and b) whether they are prioritizing the two platforms in different ways, if at all.
I mean, it will probably be 64-players on console, otherwise that could be interpreted as false advertising. But it wouldn't be teh first time time DICE has made a great PC Battlefield title...and an absolutely shitty console one.
Best BF2 moment ever? Sneaking behind enemy lines and planting c4 on aircraft and waiting for them to crew up and move across the map. I would let them get near my teams vehicles before detonating, just to increase the heartache
Ours would be one of two moments, both involving the Black Hawk.
One was where we kept a full squad alive in a Blackhawk for 95% of a game. We literally ruled the skies, dominated with the guns, dropped grenades from high altitude, did repairs while flying....it was the closest to total immersion in a FPS I've ever had.
The other was the hundreds of full squad air drops into the backside of the enemy field, where we turned the whole game, just our squad.
