Subject: Bungie Not Ready For Halo2 MP!

This statement is purely hypothetical!

What if Bungie’s servers are not capable off supporting 5 million people. 5 million is probably the predicted number of Halo2 copies sold in the first week or in the first month. If someone doesn’t have XBOX Live now they will by the time Halo2 hits the shelves. The First Halo sold over 4.5 million copies. I think Halo2 will sell twice as many over its release period. And just what if Bungie’s Servers can’t handle that many people. I have never heard of a more talked-about game than Halo and Halo2.

this has been speculated on and i also think that the server might crash from the extrem amout of people getting the game

5 million xbox live players would equal serious $$$ for those who dont have it already and the money can go to updating their servers

um yeah.. even if they do by some miracle of God sale 5 million copies even within the first year.

1) Not everyone is going to be on Live. Face it not everyone has broadband yet.
2) There is a thing called timezones. Not everyone will be on at the same time I'm sure.
I could go on but these reasons themselves cut the numbers way down.

Those are some big numbers you've got, there. Interesting theory, considering you believe more than half of the sales will be in the first month.

oh and 5 million there isnt that many people with broadband and some of the people who do would rather play Xbox Connect so i dont see a real problem now what might be a problem is if action replay comes out with something like in rainbow six 3 and suddenly people with moltov cocktails are running around

Why would anyone prefer xbox connect of Xbox Live??? You won't get all the fun stats and other features that come with Live.
