In fact, according to DICE, the PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the war game will feature for the first time two teams of 64 players battling it out for victory.
Connect, reconnect, they said
Double the size of 128 player battles will therefore only affect state-of-the-art players, a challenge for the hour or next-gen consoles and other Poofish graphics cards will continue to be scarce and watch their stocks fade into the dark for a few seconds.
So in order to no longer leave the players behind as reasonably ready for action, The American Handschuh had already assured that they could count on the good old bots just to be able to quickly reach the regulatory quorum.
What we didn’t know yet, however, is the number of AIs that could come and fill the gaps, information that our colleagues have just received from The edge. Hold tight: This allows up to 64 bots to fill in the gaps during online matches, and there are currently no plans to give players the option to reduce this display, even if it means they’ll have to wait longer before killing each other.
Unfortunately, one has to be content with this single number of information, as Electronic Arts has not yet specified the behavior of the bots that will accompany the players, but still wants to state that the people still have priority. So the machine revolution would not be immediate …
Remember that if the aesthetic embourgeois can actually compete with up to 128 players, the soldiers on PS4 and Xbox will have to be content with skirmishes limited to 64 fighters … including 32 bots? History doesn’t tell yet.
Battlefield 2042 will be available on October 22, 2021 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One X and Xbox Series X | S published.
