I really had a lot of hope for this game....not so sure anymore

Seriously? :bored:

In the age of new games coming with larger and larger match sizes, this is really disappointing. Even though, some have struggled to pull it off.

meh, just call of duty meets mechwarrior

6v6... that's kind of lame, but at least according to the article there are going to be a large amount of AI on both teams as well, so I wont bash on it.

The reason its 6v6 is because they are doing something that no other game has done before. They are mixing the singleplayer and multiplayer together, per-say. A.I can be taxing for people with bad computers too.

Eh i'll wait till alpha/beta before i start bashing

Its going to be 6v6 with human players. And when you consider how many ai will be running around. I think its all going to work out fine. People are spoiled with 64 player servers and such. I remember when 6v6 was considered action packed as a kid. I know its disappointing to some. But I really believe the chemistry with this game is going to be on point.

pfft i grew up with 2 v a.i

Jurassic Park the Lost World for the sega FTW!!!!!!!!!!

As someone who grew up playing the Tribes franchise and the original Call of Duty, this announcement disappoints me. I like having large player servers, 32v32 or even 64v64. 6v6, even with AI, feels very "meh" to me...

Rating: Downgrade from Buy/Preorder to "Hold"

You guys are spoiled lol. Its going to be a great game.

You guys are spoiled lol. Its going to be a great game.

Sorry, I don't settle for mediocrity when I expect more and better.

I hope this doesn't mean the maps are going to be small and linear like some of the maps in other games with this low player count.

People don't seem to realize that it isn't going to merely be 6v6, which would indeed feel very slow. It's going to be more like 6v6 players, plus 50v50 AI (estimated AI count of course). I used to play Star Wars Battlefront 1+2 for ridiculous amounts of time, and that was usually either just single player or 2 player, until I bought a 2nd copy of Battlefront 2 for the PC. If your thinking "yeah but AI are too easy, they don't count" then you haven't played any games with AI that are actually a threat lol *cough* Arma

I personally think 6v6 +AI could be loads of fun. Starwars Battlefront 2 would fill empty slots with AI, so i experienced plenty of 6v6 with AI.

That being said, it does make it more difficult from a recruiting standpoint.
