I hope it is massive online multi-player. I think it'll be like 64 - 128 players at a time; teams made of squads of 5,6, or 7.

Anyone else agree?

No, change is good. We need a fresh new multiplayer experience, not just new maps for Halo 3. I think massive online could be cool OP, good thinking, but we'll see soon enough.

There gonna need a massive new server for that u know

  • 06.01.2009 1:53 PM PDT

I'm not joking. There wouldn't be lag if they had dedicated servers. How wouldn't 128 players be awesome?

It would require a massive map. The bigger the map, the more likely it is to be sub-par.
And if you had such a massive map, players wold probably spawn a 5 minute walk away from where battles are actually taking place.

Exactly. It'd be like a war. I think it'd be awesome.

Not true. You could spawn at say the same distance away as that is done in Halo 3. That doesn't take long to get back to the battle.

*Sorry for the double.

change would be good and maybe new vehicles would be nice

  • 06.01.2009 2:04 PM PDT

I just want the squad battle to be 10 vs. 10 and the multi team to be 4 vs 4 vs 4 vs 4 vs 4 =D

if they were thinking of expanding the player body per match i would hope they would cap it at 32, otherwise 64 at most, like on a ginormous map...

and i hope they would stick with the currect playlists also, with a 4v4 2v2 8v8 also still sticking around...

maybe some change incorported with proven success...

Vehicles would play an essential role in such a large environment.

Why 32 max? I don't get why you'd want so few players in a match.
