Did gameinformer just leak the number of players for BF3 MP

I was just checking out the BF3 game description on Game Informer and found this...

If you click on the "Multiplayer" tab, it will show that there is a 64 player count for PC, 24 for consoles. Could this be early confirmation of the amount of players online for PC?

Probably true, and very awesome.

OMG...it does say that, so awesome, can't wait for this version!

Looks like they did, copy and pasted probably. I hope 64 means huge maps. 64 players on 24 player maps = badnutcrackr

They will likely downsize the maps for the console versions.

That's almost certainly what they're doing. Anyways, this is amazing news! :D

That is still a good number of players but I was hoping for 256 vs. 256.judog1

I think I will post this on SW :P.

dang, i thought they said a long time ago that it was gunna be 80

yaaay

Wish they had tried to do more. I remember playing Operation Flashpoint with a crazy amount of people. Fun times.

*sigh* we had 64 players 5 years ago with BF2. :( Why won't they increase it? Oh right it would be too hard to scale it for consoles. :x

Not really, in my small experience with MAG it was like playing BF with larger maps and because of that you will never see more than 20-30 players at the same time.

Really guys? Ever since the game was announced everyone was worried it would be 32 players across all platforms. Now that we are hearing 64 you're upset that it isn't more :? as for me 64 players is fine :D

That's great news. Thanks James!

Will BF3 have bigger maps? Not that BC2 had small maps. Some BC2 maps were huge for the allotted 32 players. I'm concerned that maps in BF3 may be too small and a small map with 64 players will be chaotic. For example, spawning and getting mauled by like 10 opposing players.
