ok....i found the magizine and heres what it said
"...How many players will Black Hawk Down support when it's released in late April? Here's a hint: How long was Jow DiMaggio's record-setting hitting streak in Basebal?
Yes, were talking about 56-player matches. Granted, that number isn't official and the final game may support more or less than that (it's suggested that the upper limit might be around 100 players) , but we played in a 56-player battle. Four times, in fact And the remarkable part was there was no noticable lag, even when the game was being hosted at develepor Climax's studio in England..."
