Why do console versions of multiplayer games support fewer players than PC versions? source http answers.yahoo.com question index?qid 20111205162848AAb1sl9 64 Players on P.C ( 32vs32) amp bigger maps with more vehicles amp buildings. 24 on Consoles ( 12vs12) ( It was planned to have a 32 player limit, but was later reduced to 24). Why does the console version have a maximum of 24 players? Is it hardware related? One of the reason was that players can host games themselves. If thats true its very sad that you cannot play 32x32, because one or two guys want to host games.
