Guys,

Under the mask of releasing the v1.2 patch, EA have made a note that Euro Force will be single player enabled, 16 and 32 multiplayers only.

Source:

(which they claim EA gave them permission to post).

Does this make you reconsider purchasing Euro Force? Do you think this is due to 'performance issues' a la maps like 'Iron Gator' from Special Forces?

Personally, this is appalling news. 64 players is what makes it fun. What do you think of it?

No it doesnt make me reconsider. I wouldn't play 16 player but 32 player is fine for me

I dont care... 32 or 64 is what I play... Or the occasional 16 for a good laugh...

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

I normally play only 32player anyhow so i dont care and for the 16 player maps i find them good fun allowing for fast and furious action

i usually only play 32. 64 lags me way too much, and 16 just isnt enough for me.

64 players playing totally uncoordinated? I prefer 32 players tops and I am starting to like 16 player servers (on 16 player maps)

Who gives a shit? 64 player maps tend to just be a mad rape fest anyway. You better find some armor or start tossing grenades. 32 player is where the real tactics are.

i have to admit that that is one thing that can make the game a lot of fun. you get some very insane firefights. i like it only if i would be playing on another computer though... damn lag

Good, I thought I was the only one who noticed that SCAR-L doesn't make it's reloading sound in the vanilla version.

Without 64 player i wont buy it. I might not be playing bf2 anymore anyway though after this patch. Was already bored of the game before it.

64 player servers are way too busy - like a madhouse...16, 20, 24 players require skill and tactics unlike 64 player where u just shoot everywhere!!!

I dont care about that its not 64 players. 16 -32. is just as fun. And how much does it realy cost... 11$. thats nothing.

I'll probably end up getting it, but hearing this has pissed me off. I don't have any performance issues at all on 64 player maps. Even the iron gator or the night maps.
