First of all, I'm in no way contributing to the scans that were posted on the net today, but I will talk about them...and if this has, in some way, already been posted, I apologize

To get a grip of the sheer size of the multiplayer maps, take a look at the 6th and 8th pictures that were scanned

Look at the right side of the 8th picture; that area is what is shown in the 6th picture. The pink SPARTAN (I don't know why, but that color pink is looking less and less girl-y each time I see it) with the sniper rifle is on that ledge on the 8th picture, where vertical and diagonal beam are combining

Do you see it? If you do, you might get a grip of how huge these maps are...what is shown in these two pictures may just be a portion of the entire map! That is just ridiculous...and that, my friends, is a job well done by Bungie

Sounds very good. I can't wait to see that issue. Usually GI is crap, so it looks like this is the big exception.

Yea, a while back Frankie was talking about a huge hole they made in the ground in the Halo 2 engine and he said that you could fit all the content that was in Halo in the hole and there would still be a huge amount of space left, I don't know if they can do that with actual maps but I'm willing to bet that they could.

Doesn't it say - although it's hard to read - that it'll be 36 players over Xbox Live or System Link? You can see it in one of the captions on the pictures.

I bet that Waterworks level will become the new Blood Gulch or Sidewinder.

No, it says 2 to 16. Sorry.


I doubt things like that are final.

Guys... no one really knows the answer to how many players there will be over Live by the time the game is released.

No, no we don't- but a recent article leads us to believe there are 16 players. We are relying on the most up to date news. We don't know, but, for now, 16 is the most likely number.

Ya I understand you. The article also said that online co-op was "likely"

BTW, 16 max is fine with me, as long as the netcode is good

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

On one map you can see 13 players
5 red
4 blue
1 pink
3 unknown

Also it shows destroyable vehicles in multiplayer.

The maps are going to be absolutely huge, some of them atleast. I think I see what you are talking about in the pictures, if your conclusion is right... some of the maps are going to be insane and would probably be able to support upwards of over 32 players.

I don't think the map size is going to determine how much players can be played (for some at least); it's all about the servers

Those new maps are amazing, but I just hope they don't get carried away. If the maps get too big, it might make the games a little drawn out and boring, kind of like a 2 vs 2 on sidewinder. But I'm sure that bungie knows exactly what they're doing, so I'm not worried. As for how many players there are going to be over xbox live, I really think that it's too early to definately say.
