Re: Games Radar Preview Huxley!
Well there are a couple of ways to go about the 20vs20 thing.
1) Anything higher then that resulted in gigantic loss of fps/huge amounts of lag: There's no point in saying "hey we can have 100 vs 100 battles, but the quality sucks ass".
2) This only applies to the random BGs and you can do higher ones in clan versus clan: 60vs60 with random people might just have been too hard, resulting in chaos and no decent fun.
3) 20vs20 for Launch, once Huxley has a bit more players they'll add the remaining bigger BGs: self explanatory.
4) 20vs20 was in the beta only and games radar mistakingly took this as the max setting in the fully released game: I've read other previews that came out a couple of months ago, where the writers told us they were allowed to play the beta as well and the developers were still talking about 60vs60 matches. It's not impossible that Games Radar made a mistake.
There's probably a couple more scenarios I can't think of but whatever the case, be it 20vs20 or 60vs60, it will be done the way they feel would be best for the game, if there's no problem for supporting these gigantic battles, they'll make it happen.
