remember this dev. blog?? here's an interesting piece of the blog, and here's the link to the blog. what was posted about equipment spam in the "city" makes sense considering what this says...
"The socket
A GÇ¥socketGÇ¥ is the container for a group of game contents. The same socket on the battlefield can be loaded with different content, which provides variations of battlefields when players play on the same terrain.
In DUST 514, there are three different sizes of socket, which can be used as outposts, spawn bases, or objectives. Due to memory, budget, and performance issues, the number of sockets are limited, so their positions need to be carefully planned. For instance, outpost sockets always take up large amounts of memory, so they are typically placed in the center of the battlefield, whereas small and medium-sized sockets are more flexible. Due to these constraints, we always try to make sockets appear in the places they are most needed. "

possibly a breakthrough on the lag here?? OP... good job on collecting the data. |

PS3 512Mb ram PS4 8Gb ram That's why I always supported a PS4 port. But we all should understand that player base is here on ps3 and there are not much ps4 owners, plus, they'd need to rework (better this time ;) ) the entire game. I'm pretty sure they can do it on ps3, and then start working on much larger projects on ps4.
i'm all for the port, but we need to be realistic here. it's pretty obvious that it is not going to come until at least 2015 (maybe even 2016). by then, the ps3 version will be complete (mostly), and it would make more sense to move it to the ps4. i know about the ram difference. not much can be done about this with the ps3. ccp needs to work within the ps3's capabilities, and/or we need to be understanding of those limitations. that INCLUDES those who purposefully do things to cause these lag spikes. after all, it's a game. it is meant to be fun.
personally, i'd rather have a good looking game that functions than a beautiful game that doesn't. that is one of the reasons why M.A.G. was only available in 720p and the graphics were not up to "COD" standards. Zipper sacrificed looks for function, and with 256 people on the field, it worked pretty good. even that had plenty of lag at times... hence the nickname "L.A.G.". i've never played COD or BF, but i could imagine lag exists in those as well. Hell, lag existed in Resident Evil 5 and some other games i've played online (wipeout HD) as well.
of course the ps4 will be great. i'd love to see 32 vs 32 and even MAG's 128 vs 128. i'm sure we will see this on the ps4. unfortunately, we just have to wait. i personally will not be buying a ps4 until dust comes to it. no need too. dust is the only game i play for the most part.
