Uh, Battlefield 1942 folks. 64 players. Aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, armor, halftracks, jeeps, fighters, bombers, AAA, 50 cal and MG42 machine guns, 5 different classes and HYOOOOOOOGE maps.

You guys were talking about what again?

Oh wait, I forgot the subs. And the landing craft. And shore guns. Did I mention that calling in artillery is cool too?

Actually, I have played BF 1942 and found it to be, as we would say in the Army, a complete Cluster**uk.

A disorganized mess that had 4 dozen 14 year olds running around without a plan.

It was not a pleasant experience.

I have come to the conclusion that, unless you are talking about a truly organized League or something, all on-line games with a population of above 32 total to be unwieldy.

I also have real life Military experience and find that the on-line area lends itself to mostly small unit tactics.

But then, perhaps your experience has differed from mine.

Cheers,
