I wanted to know to get an idea, about the size of the cards in Km2, and if this translated?

merci pour la réponse
Which do you prefer out of interest?

Personally, with more than 12 people on a server I prefer large maps with FH2 style position, but it is true that when we are not many small cars are better cards and always with an aim to foster Thurs
I think something may have been lost in translation there but your doing better than I can in French!
Personally I've always thought that there is a place in any game for both types of map - large open battles with big sweeping moves as well as the tight intensity & rapid pace of the smaller maps.

To be honest I am more of a 24-64 persons in server type of player. Though I must admit, 64 players can be to much for me as well. It really depends, and of course I'm speaking in terms of Battlefield 2 and more specifically Forgotten Hope 2, as when I have free gaming time I normally choose Fh2.
I'm not a fan of very heavily populated games only because it gets so polluted and takes the fun out of it for me.

Not a fan of the 128 players FH2 servers then?
Definitely not, I think its a bit... dumb
Dumb is something I wouldn't call it - choas, noisy and mayhem maybe

lol yea - I'm not hating on it, I mean I think it is cool that it is being done. Its just I am not a fan of so many people
It comes down to map optimization. Pub servers are chaos regardless of player number, I don't think you would notice a difference if there where maps built to handle 64 on 64 . You notice it more, because there aren't enough transports, special weapons, and tanks to take advantage of the number and it is detrimental when half the team is reduced to running between flags with only no4's and K98s.

Yeah true ^^
It seems conceptually though, Bf2 is geared for 64, regardless of the 126 player capability. Often times when I'm playing, say, Fh2, I find myself in a great squad and there is nice firefights etc. Even with 64 players I've found there to be quite a nice gaming experience. But 126 IMO isn't very fun, its just to cluttered and its hard for me to have fun when I'm constantly bumping shoulders with the guy next to me
Just my opinion though - I can see where it could be useful as well, its just not my slice of pie

I agree that 128 can be just too much but one thing it does have is that sense of scale - everything feels like a major battle instead of a minor skirmish. I still prefer 64 or even 32 though provided the map doesn't force everyone to space out too much.

I wish more studios would attempt to explore it, the only studio to give it ago was Zipper[who did SOCOM] with Mag on the Ps3, and a ps3 doesn't compare in the shooter department to a good ole PC

I'm just grateful that BF3 is going back to 64 players after BFBC1/2 - I had a horrible feeling we'd seen the end of 64 player games.

My aren't we the :smug: ones.
If it was up2 me I would aim for both types of maps.
Sort of like what COD:United Offense had where they had the massive maps that were like battlefield with tanks and all that stuff but at the same time they had the classic style maps that we see in cod/mohaa & cs size and gameplay. The smaller maps will also attract competitive gamers/ gaming which would also be a + for the game.

Me to take personal leave an idea for a game like COD, I will see the map "Foy" with power to hold position, and a card with a slightly larger piece of forest or BUD allies start and continue map after the river with building and the countryside?

Oeh, COD:United Offense. Thats a long long time ago. I forgot how much fun that game was. Really liked the COD gameplay on big maps with tanks.
Those good old times.
