I keep hearing about 16 players max for Halo2 online. Perhaps that's the best Bungie can do while keeping the game playable with voice chat. And I'm cool with that. But could there possibly be more? I recall an interview with a MS exec, that said there would be 16 players max at first on Live, but that was no hard cap; there would be more possible in the future.
Are dedicated servers hosted by companies, XBOXs?
Or can they use more powerful PC servers to host XBOX games?
If MS hosted H2 games with their own servers, could'nt we get more players per game online? Regular peer-to-peer XBOX Live sessions could be capped at 16. (Although I've been on a few of my friend's XBOX servers from Canada, and it seemed like they could have held more. Canadians, it seems, have really good high speed connections.)
If this so, I think it would be a good idea, especially since H2 is going to be the utlimate Live showpiece.
Comments, please?
