It’s an interesting point when we talk about the number of players allowed on a map in Call of Duty, when I have been playing COD4 online in a Team Death Match game it can get busy but as soon as you go into an 18 player game with 9v9…it’s madness at times. Now with PC gaming, some games have modes of play with 30v30 and some Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 games want this on a console games system.
Would console gamers want 30v30 online games in Call of Duty and could the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 handle it?
If the maps were made much bigger in Call of Duty 5, then I personally would love to play a 30v30 game, well as long as the host is passed to another player when the host leaves. This would be much more fun for me, but then there are gamers who like things a lot less mad.
The good thing with online FPS is having modes of play, you get to choose the type of online game you want and that’s the very reason we should have the option of massive 30v30 games.
The maps on Battlefield were always big and the Battlefield: Bad Company game shows you again some nice larger maps, if we can get this size map with 30v30 gameplay then we would have a much better game, but that game only supports 24 players online.
Why don’t we have a game on the Xbox 360 or Sony PS3 that supports big 30v30 games? Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments below.

Well i know PS3 can handle that since Resistance 2 will be 60 players online. I love playing 30vs30 that will be awesome i don’t know about Xbox 360 but on PLAYSTATION 3 it will be great. Xbox Live lags too much so it might be a bad a idea since is multiplaform game.
I’m a big fan of the battlefield series on the PC. I’d love big 60 player rooms and maps on my PS3. We just need the publishers to host dedicated servers or allow clans to host their own servers like BF 2142.
Most pointless article ever written, Resistance 2 has already been confirmed to have 60 player online modes.
I play 32 vs 32 in Battlefield 2 all the time and its brilliant
If the Xbox Can’t handle it then it would not happen becuase they would want to make both versions the same.
This would be another PS3 Game limited because of the 360. (the first that comes to mind is Ghostbusters which is the only one that has public to state this fact.)
Yeah but nobody plays resistance.
@VinTheDean
thats not necessarily true. COD4 on PS3 could support more players online than the 360 version.
Nobody plays resistance? lol, resistnace owns…
I don’t why people think it’s Live that lags, it’s peer to peer connection, it’s not the server that lags it’s either the host or one of the people playing the actual game. The Xbox can handle 30v30 but it wouldn’t make any sense to have 60 players playing in peer to peer connectivity, MS needs to change that in order to for that to happen. Personally, I wouldn’t enjoy a game with that many players.
Resistance 1 on the PS3 has 40 players, Frontlines: Fuel of War on the 360 has 50 players, and Resistance 2 is boasting 60 players. So, yes, it’s entirely possible to support it. Do I expect it from an Activision rush-job? No.
Even if they do implement it, expect it to be broken, and un-fun. This is not to say that Treyarch is a bad developer, but they’ve been pushed into an unfavourable position by Activision.
