thats the point they think it only has 16 players but could the new tsunami features for xbox live allow more players?

16 players is still a lot even if in the end halo 2 doesn't have more than 16 (though it could perhaps have more}

if that isn't a mass multiplayer game what is? btw too many (like 64) would probably ruin it anyway

exactly more is not always better. besides...who cares... let the moron stick to his pretty little computer chair and play his boring mmorpg's he will just be missing out on the most likely one of the best games in the world. sux to be him. 200 players i think is too much. unless they r going to make the maps the size of alaska then it will just turn into a spray and pray frag fest :P

Actually i'm gonna have to add more. This guy who is supposedly a professional journalist doesn't seem to understand the simple premise of quality over quantity. Plus I can imagine it'd be a lot more fun to play against 16 people you know the 100 you don't. Also a game example; Would it be more fun to play Counter-Strike with 100 people or more? I think not.

ye too many players isn't that good. about 40 tops. so 20v20 or 10v10v10v10. seems a good max number to me.

well hearing that maps on halo 2 are going to be 5 times bigger than halo 1 might mean more players can play (i mean come on cs's maps ae way too small for 32 ppl)
and remember e3? they had 16 xboxes one for each player which means with the addition of split screen will be 64 so gamespot probably IS wrong

uhm its been announced that it will only support 16. if u have 16 xbox's it just means 1 player per screen instead of 4 xbox's with 4 people per screen it is now upgraded.

just to get it right, 16 players is 8 vs 8 (with 2 teams)
i didnt quite know if you did understand that Zamamee!

That guy is a joke. Can you imagine Zanzibar with 100+ people? You would spawn and die. 16 is the perfect number for me, but I wouldn't mind maybe having around 20 people. But that would be pushing it...

well at least we all can agree on one thing, this guy is stupid (and he should feel stupid right now too) and he made a lot of new enemies!...
