[color=orange]I think that the maximum amount of players for Halo 2 may well be 32. They seem to really be pushing the Xbox to the max, seeing that Halo 3(if there is one) will probably be a launch title for Xbox NEXT and want to make their last title for the Xbox the best. I certainly think they could program the networking code required for 32 players.[/color]

From the article:
"He said at least 16 people would be able to play online.

Offline, via a local area network, he said 16 Xboxes could be linked together, hinting at the possibility of games with 64 players.

"We have 16 boxes linked together here. No-one's noticed that yet," he said. "

That is from the mouth of Max Hoberman, multiplayer lead developer at Bungie Studios!

My question is: Over the lan who is hosting the game? It can't be one xbox controlling the game for 64 players, it must be the LAN.

Talk about a covenant war.
