People keep on asking about it. so here you go, this is all mainly from topics on forums and quotes from DEVS.
Release Date = End of this year, early 2013.
Will there really be allot of maps? is 1400 an unrealistic number? = Yes it is an unrealistic number, there will be much more than 1400 when you have over 5000 temperate planets with around 6 districts each...
Will there be more weapons and weapon variations = obviously, laser rifles and other items are already on there way, and for example, the current assault rifle is Gellente... meaning there will probably be more than 1 type of assault rifle, for every race, like they do it in EVE online.
How big will the maps be = Large, 64 player maps, it was already confirmed that Fighters and other vehicles will be in the game, and to have fighters, you will need large maps. For a video ( early production, so mind the graphics ) on the fighters and other items select here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmgb8ERT__c
People, just saying, the game will include ALLOT more stuff than it does in a simple Beta, so don't get your hopes down. Not to mention that i might as well clarify that CCP has NEVER made you pay for an expansion or update, so don't worry about that. The game will never " fully release " because when it does come out to the public, it will still constantly evolve like EVE, not just because CCP changes some mechanics and adds items, but because the players change the war, the battleground, and the map. |

Misinformed OP.
Maps will be generated based on player interaction. There are, from launch, 3 planet styles. I.E Geography is the same, however, building locations will always be different. Like what you see now with the biomass and comms maps a bit.
Meaning, yes, there will be many maps. However, you can also look at it like many of the same small maps thrown into the same location of the planet, and slightly moved around.
88 players, not 64. Possibly 256, it was tested and works. |

The merc pack says acsses to closed beta till dec, suggests to me plan was Dec early spring open beta/release(I figure they are basically same thing for this type of game, free and no disc, open beta is out then some random day release is declared with no change to game. until expansion few months later, supposed to add fighters )
There will be many thousands of maps at release, but they are random from smaller pieces. So, it's like borderland's guns, there may be millions but a strategy guide can list a hundred or so with a range for stats to cover them all. So for example one map maybe biomass with different texture and different random surrounding hills, or loose crates are arranged different in road, still a different map even if the main part is still biomass. |
