Swg Battlefronts

Reading review of this baby, looks lovely, but check the performance any more than 4 players over DSL causes unplayable stutter, only 24 can play at once over LAN, makes you realise you well DAOC performs.

No it doesn't show that DAoC runs well, it just shows there are (amazingly) games that run worse. I really don't see how Doom 3 on full settings etc with 20+ moving characters on screen can run better than DAoC with 3fg standing around.

That review is for the xbox version - so who cares ?

The PC version will be somewhat different imo ( i.e better)

it just the battlefield games with a star wars tag - and pc online shooters can run with more than 4 peeps ( ok get some lag on bf vietnam with 32 peeps) I expect the pc version will not encounter the same problems as the xbox.

Battlefront runs better on my lappy than most games, ran better over the lan than most games, havent tried playing online as 6 of us were using the same cd key

Well lets see.....
Good zerg of say 60 players, still playable with a good graphics card even over dial up, of course I'm referring to the info running from you to the server.

OK it's an X-Box, but that's just a PC running a DSL connection and 4!!! is the best it can do.

WTF are they sending down the pipe?

Are they saying your 500kb download 250 kb upload is fully used!!!

Some people have 1GB per month caps, that ain't much play.
