Uses the Unreal 3 engine, looks like a mix of halo3 and cod4 with a bunch of vehicles.

Looks pretty good - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30476.html

50 player sounds like a laugh.

Played the demo and didn't get on with unfortunately.

There's a multiplayer demo available free on marketplace. It's not brilliant but can be very satisfying sniping someone from a few miles away!

Is 50 impressive? Weren't most games doing 64 a few years back? eg Battlefield 1942.

50 player on xbox is considerable, its been 8 maximum in everything ive played thus far

[Mekon]

I think halo is 16 and COD4 is 18, so it's a pretty big step up for the 360.

Didn't realise it was up on xbl already.

50 players at once will be lag city. COD4 can't manage 18 without slowing down to a crawl every 2 minutes if the yanks are on

BF2142 servers cheerfully run 64 player games, lag-free, all the time.

They're proper servers, though, not someone's 360 or PS3 at the end of an internet connection of somewhat variable quality.

Played the demo, it wasn't brilliant. As others have said 50 players is nothing new.

[shadowninja]

Ah, Xbox. As you were.

Bookmarked.

Erm... why the hell would you want 50 players in the same game?

It's hard enough surviving on COD4 with only 15 to contend with!!!!
