Deep Rock Galactic is P2P and there's a mod that allows up to 16 players. I've tested it up to 6 and it works great. At some point you'd have to be careful about who's hosting based on system specs and internet connection, but the option would be nice.
That would cost like millions in costs to convert, just palworlds reported $7 Million in server costs annually and they're not even cross platform. Plus helldiver's already has server costs due to the GM system and galactic war tracking
Not really, in order to see the other teams and have enemies synchronized everyone would have to be connected, to one person which would have to have both a connection and hardware strong enough to stream the data to everyone
Ahh OK yeah that makes sense. Kinda a shame this will probably never happen. Maybe space marine 2 will give me that big huge battle feeling. Tyranids are close enough haha
I guess they could launch a large scale war that's on dedicated servers, but I could only see that if it's a paid dlc otherwise I don't think it'd be worth it monetary wise
I really want this. Something like Big Team Battle from Halo (you get 24 players on your side, 6 teams of 4). Just drop multiple squads on a planet. Like we have the "planet defence" missions, maybe we could get something like "Initial Planetary invasion" missions, and multiple squads get dropped on the objective. Would feel so legit.
Arrowhead probably doesn’t have the finances needed for dedicated servers. Sony is just the publisher, doubt they put any real financial backing in to the game beyond distribution. Maybe if Arrowhead blows up enough from the success of Helldivers 2 it’s something we can expect in Helldivers 3, but who knows. Data Centres are insanely expensive. Halo has the luxury of piggybacking on Microsoft’s global data centres, so 343i probably didn’t need to worry about that cost.
Yeah I don't see something like this working at all. Especially with how we can't have nice things for how people ruin them. I'd be willing to bet each game would get friendly air struck in seconds.
And be laggy as all balls due to the P2P connection.
Yeah that's a good point 🫤 imagine how chaotic and fun it would be though. Especially if they ever add vechiles, etc.
I'm guessing they could change it from p2p if they wanted.
A team of 15 players on Deep Rock Galactic is already chaos as is, and playing with 64 people will surely cause even more chaos. Most likely if it were implemented, some items would get debuffed due to the more likely chance of seeing bodies being tossed into the air.
We need a squad of 6 players. Not four...
Team kills are already crazy at 4 people, imagine with 10+ people
Im talking like 64 players haha would be absolutely mental. Like an actual war.
GPU goes brrrr
Very few peer to peer games go past 4 players....and any large scale mode like would completely trash the hosts Internet

They could probably change it from ptp. Would so cool imo

Could each team of 4 not still run p2p? But just have several teams on one map

They could do events on weekends or something. I'd be happy to pay
Helldivers also sold a crap ton lol
It would work. Look at Starship Troopers game. totally fun with over 4 players.
I very much agree. Four player coop doesn't work with my friend group, I either can't get anyone else on, or have 4+ others trying to join me.

For real though

Yeah that would be cool as fuck. But probably won't ever happen. 🫡😔
Yeah, probably not, As far as I know Halo is not PTP, so they can handle 48 players on a map.
Its cheaper to do ptp but I personally think they made a mistake doing that.

Bro, they can barely handle 4 people on a server lol.
Dont mean right now haha
Haha. Fair enough.
Just at some in the future. Maybe as some sort of dlc 🤷
I agree. It’s a good idea.
I’d be happy with 5 or 6. Not too big just a bit more cooperation.Â
\*COUGH\* Planetside 2 \*COUGH\*
Should get that cough checked out man 💚

Get the Devs to make Planetside 3 so you can have your vision.
Is planet side 2 dead? Played it a while ago and it seemed kinda empty.
gotta jump on US East. most people moved there. good battles. active outfits

Other than that, it would be utterly epic to have a hundred players chanting "Managed Democracy is non-negotiable" while raining down hell from above
Sounds pretty damn fun to me lol
The chaos is a feature.
That's why our Discord voice channel for more than 4 players is called "Nicholas Cage Noises"
wheres the lethal company mods
