""Pacific Fighters will launch with a multiplayer mode that will allow up to 128 players to participate in live online in aerial dogfights!

For the first time in any retail combat flight simulation, Pacific Fighters will allow massive live engagements for up to 128 players in dogfight mode on the same dedicated server via Internet or LAN. Cooperative play and dynamic online campaigns are also available for up to 32 players. Whether it’s in dogfight or cooperative mode, Pacific Fighters will provide an unparalleled online multiplayer experience. In addition to live players, the game also includes a large number of AI-controlled aircraft, ships and ground vehicles. Pacific Fighters provides a faithful re-creation of the most decisive battles of WWII’s Pacific theater, in famous locations like Midway, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, where the courage of a single pilot could turn the tide of war.""

128 Players in a game sounds awesome. You could really have some impressive battles and alot of fun along the way.


How is the online aspect of FO developing? Any chance of the coming demo being online?

It would be nice to see saveable CO-OP missions. So a squad or a group of individuals could come together and progress though a large and longer term online war together.

They pushed the release about a week and a half in the UK. Maybe it was because of pricacy, I don't know. Anyway, I have also heard of people in Canada who got a copy as soon as it was recieved at EB games. Appearently EB was not worried about selling before the release date at all, so I assume they have permission to sell it as soon as it is recieved. I am dropping down to my local dealer on my way home.

Well, it is about time Euroope got an early release. I remember when Forgotten Battles came out... Europeans were quite pissed they had to wait 2 extra weeks.

Well I don't know if Novalogics F-16 MRF, MiG-29 Fulcrum, and F-22 Raptor counts as sims but they had a service called NovaWorld, which allowed up to 128 people to fly online at the same time. Dedicated servers of course but definatly fun stuff (at the time lol).

I think the highest I've seen it get to was about 60ish. But it was supposedly capable of 128.
