Ok I'm really confused. I heard awhile back that Halo 2 was supposed to have 32 people for xbox and 24 for system link. Now I read in the new Game Informer and here on the forumns a bit that its only 16. Thats has me really bummed. Me and my local PGH clan play reliously still and we really wanted to have 6 xboxs hooked up. Death Island on PC was already big enough for 32 and I hear some of the new multi-maps are so big they needed to add speed boost to the Banshees and Ghost just to speed things up. Please some one tell me that was a misprint and its gonna be 32 ppl capable. Also has anyone else heard that we can play co-op online together? That will be uber-sweet!!! Also I've heard that Halo 2 will have a multi-player feature called Battle Ground where we fight Spartans vs Elites... I know we've all heard that but will we be able to play CTF, Skulls, and that good stuff still. Or do you think maybe it'll be Objective driven like Wolfenstien and Counter Strike persay? I dunno I'm just kickin around ideas. As for the Halo plot I'm just waiting to relish that when it comes. Halo's story is just so complex and intresting with such great characters, I can't decide which I want more. But I do know I'll play Campaign first. Oh well hit me back.

Bungie are too secrative...

They should at least tell us where the rest of (if there are any) the easter eggs are for halo 1.

and i think it's 32 players for both. But i don't really give a hoot about that cause all my friends (exept 1) play Counter Strike. They grade the game before they play it. What Nnn. Nnn.

OH MY GOD!!! YOU DON'T KNOW!!! HOW THE BLOODY F**K DO YOU NOT KNOW!!! THIS IS NOT JUST IN MY DREAMS, I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HALO 2 ONLINE PLAY WILL FEATURE A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE IN ONE PLACE AT ONE TIME!!! HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW!!! (SHOCK, SHOCK, SHOCK!!! (this man's having a heart attack!!!)).
Believe me kids. I know and what I just said is pure truth (I heard it quietly mentioned in a very twisted way but I am 1000000000000% sure the Halo 2 Online Play will be a real F**Kin' WAR!!!!). How do you not know? I really cannot understand... ALL of my Halo 2 fantasies have been about a couple of hundred people in a single level.
Hey you lot, In future I am going to work at Bungie Studios and trust me when I say this (because I know a lot about storys and games and things like that) you have all seriously under-estimated what Halo 2 is going to be. We are talking about it being everything that Halo wasn't - A REAL SCI-FI WAR!!!

as good as XBox live is, it cant handle hundreds, so i think that there will be normal servers of 16, super fast T# connections that suport 32 and Bungie proper connections that hold 64. And you cant be 1000000000000% per cent = per hundred. and since youre probably wrong, youre making an even bigger fool of youreself.

Xbox Live can hand hundreds of thousands of players. As of right now, there are over 750k subscribers on the Live network. Massive games such as True Fantasy Online support thousands of players in truly dynamic, persistant world. As far as we know, Halo 2 will support at least sixteen players, give or take..

And would you please fix your sig? Thank you.
