Arma 3 with 1,000 players online .. possible?

It would be really awesome for a proper D-Day Omaha beach mission

I've seen 250 player servers in the Joint Operations International Conflict tournament already and that was over five years ago so I think BIS can definitely make that number possible in ArmA 3. It'll still require an uberserver to run though.

Joint Ops was awesome. There are a couple of things to be learned from that game

Yes. It's too bad it was never as popular as BF2. It had TONS more potential.

What's our definition of lag? <25fps?

Yes, of course. Anything higher than 25fps is obviously "lag"....

/sarcasm

:D

Jokes aside, you are confusing latency with framerates. Lag is a high amount of network latency, which has little to do with fps.

1000 players may not be feasible... but just think about how crazy it would be to see an air assault with like 50 helos inserting full payloads of human players down on the battlefield

This is PlanetSide 1 (2003). Really looking forward for PlanetSide 2 this year for that kind of MMO-FPS action, but in regards to Arma 3 I would be glad with a 100 player lag free experience. There are limits to what kind of hardware communities can pay for and so on. I mean, PS1 had Sony big bucks mmo hardware, so will 2. Where I play Arma, wont.
