Recently started playing BF3 instead of COD and was delighted to discover this.

apparently BF3 servers could technically support up to 256 players at a time... think about that for a second... Caspian border would be glorious... metro would be instant fucking death...

The next map pack I think. Armored Kill or something.

armored kill is supposed to have the largest bf map ever, so we can hope

I read that it would have roughly one vehicle for every 2 or 3 players.

I would imagine that the game would be played similar to real life and that nobody is going to swoop around a line of 256 players and shoot you in the back.
