EA ist considered to be a very good company, but at least there doing something different with online console game. With battlefield modern combat people have the choice between playing on a 2v.s 2 server to a 12 v.s 12 server (24).
Yeah i know halo 2 is good looking but why cant and shouldt halo 2 take it up and a notch and go for 30 online players at least ?
8 v.a 8 is so meh, in my opinion what’s the deal ?
If bungie wants this to be THE live game then it shoud do something the others aret , dont you agree ?

Yes i agree, that doesnt make sense why we still have to stick with 16 players online, yes i know it will make it a lot harder to run, but heck its worth the try of making it at least 24 players in one game...

i think battlefield doesnt have such stunning graphics. Halo 2 would lag like hell if it had 32 ppl running around in hogs blowing up everything? LAG FEST! halo 2 is good the way it is.

Bungie has said that they want to get the Max amount of players WITHOUT scarifcing game play. if you get 30 people in a game it MAY lagg becasue of how much stuff is happening in halo. rest asured that the amount of people in halo 2 durring an onlive game will be the MAX amount of people without scaficing game play. i would rather play a smooth fast game of 8 vs 8 every time then a slow 15 on 15 game full of lagg, and then one time out of a hundred find a game where 30 people all have good ping and it runs fine.

Wait, this makes no sense. If Bungie uses Bump Mapping to down the Pixels, and the new chief has less than the old, then they should be able to add more players to a map. Personally, I would like to play a 32vs32 map, but that is reserved for a future game in my head...I should tell you all, but it's way to cool...

Hey, you know what they say, the more the better!

not to mention dieing when you respawn. the maps would be cramed with ppl, and that would cause bullets and rockets flyin everywhere. good luck getting a hog through an open field with 12 elites shooting 48 sniper shots at you.

Are you talking about F.E.A.R, cuz that campain just might be cooler than halo 2, but not the mp for sure.

Listen, I don't care if it is called bump or normal or whatever, there is better things out there that should help with lag...And as I said before, I cannot speak about this...

it could be done if you had an option to let only good pingers into a game, then most good pingers would migrate to those servers.

You guys know that Bungie has said that the 16 players was a base starting point don't you? They are trying to get has many players as they can. We will just have to wait and see how many they can put in without sacrificing gameplay.

not really because i like the traditional number of players and i think they dont need to make the best online experience because they probably have the best single player game out there and still its just so much fun playing with 16 players in one room kickin each others blam!

I think in the FAQ it said that you can get up to 16 XBoxes. Not sure if it was the FAQ, or if Frankie said something about it in one of the updates, but I thought I saw that. That doesn't necessarily mean that you can use 4 people on each of those XBoxes, but it could mean that. 32 is probably going to be the max. That seems like a good number.

Actually the reason we are only getting 8v8 is due to the xbox live ifrastructure. Xbox live is set up to be 100% P2P. Now there has been talk of microsoft implementing dedicated servers someday that would be the only way to get the amount of players up into the leagues of the big PC games. Bungie has been saying from day 1 that they will use bungie.net and xbox live in new ways nobody has thought of or expected so maybe bungie is thinking of running some Halo 2 servers? Who knows. Tho I personally think that the wizzards at bungie will give us the BEST experience online many of us have ever had be it 1 on 1, 4 on 4 on 4 on 4, 8 on 8 well you get the idea.

The graphics have NOTHING to do with the online performance, that’s totally up to the console power. i just cannot believe it is EA who is pushing console online gaming forward and not other companies that’s know for quality. i know that battlefield modaren combat has HORRID graphics, but its at least worth a rental just because of what its doing that other aret


And this cant be that hard to do because the ps2 is also getting this game. so what do you think bungie is waiting for ? and were the hell is my welcome to the forum from you people, all i got was some weird guy who PMed me wanting me to join him in something .
