Did GI article say anything about the number of players for xbox Live.

I think Bungie should at least give us more then 16 players for system link since we can play LAN with out lag with upto 64 players and 64 is the maximum available to Xbox.

Since when can we play with 64 player LAN on Xbox? Did i miss somthing or is this just a typo? But i agree. 32 players would probably be a suitable max.

If you look at xbox.com in the LAN section it says XBOX supports a max of 64 players.

I think thats 16X4 (16 Xbox's with 4 players on each)

Don't mind me if I'm wrong (I suck at maths)

they said Halo 2 would support a MINIMUM of 16 players, they said they wanted to create like a online battle feild were there are covies, marines, ODST's and MC's all playing, but every alien and human are played by real human beings on Xbox live, i figure you might need allot more than 16 players to create the image in our heads, but i think that is exclusive to Xbox live so system link won't have that type of multiplayer.

dude if Halo 2 was gonna include 64 players of course it would be in LAN and not XBL, XBL would lag to hell with that many players and tournaments would be out of the question. I would like to know where you got these stupid ideas from. You own mind no doubt.

i am pretty sure they will find some way to improove the multiplayer expeirience no end from halo original, i'm sure yaal know bungie have been saying that halo 2's multiplayer will be something special, and they havn't let us down yet.

If there was an exclusive MP mode just for XBL, not only would it be a stupid idea, it would also be stupid to think that an XBL game mode would feature more players then a LAN match, since LAN has no lag.

i dunno, matter of opinion i supose, but if you have xbox live it is allot more handy than going to a LAN tournament or inviting 64 people to your place. I am sure Bungie has a good reason for making a Xbox live only game type.

But the lag would be unbearable. 64 player lans could be made easily. Just rent a hall and have 16/64 bring Xbox's and controls an stuff. At tournies they easily have over 64 people.

maybe it won't be as high as 64 players, maybe bots will be used, i dunno, all i am saying Xbox live is allot more conveinient than going to tournaments or arranging them, rite?

Convient, I guess, but playability is another matter cuz who knows what the netcode will be like, if it is very good, there might be a few servers that can hold that many.

Meh, if they did have 64 players on Live, the netcode would have to be fantastic and they would have to have them for different regions. I reckon 32 is more realistic for LIVE, but even that would be hard to host.
