Obviously we'd like to have three players, four players, more players, and we did some rough tests, and the networking fidelity started to break down." "The main challenge that we set out on was the scale of the world, making this massive world with more density than ever before, more weapons than ever before, more stuff than ever before, and getting all that working on the Xbox One with a visual fidelity upgrade. "We played around with different ideas," producer Mike Jones told Official Xbox Magazine.
