In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

so imagine starting up the reach beta, going into matchmaking capture the flag. instead of 18 people maximum, it would be 34 vs. 34. soon as you spawn your in an aircraft hangar. you see 3 people hop into a pelican and watch it lift away. by that time i would be staring blankly at my screen with my mouth wide open. all the pelicans are gone so you go into the covenant U shaped dropship (forgot what it was called) when you fly out you see an army of guass warthogs driving through the snowy terrain.
and when you reach the enemy flag you see a pelican get blasted out of the sky by 3 stationary guass warthogs. as you land you get the enemy flag and attempt to fly away. but before you can get back into the covie dropship a scorpion blows it up. you look over the cliff to se all of the 34 enemies are coming torwards you, and ofcourse you feel -blam!-. then a fleet of scorpions and 4 pelicans clear the threat and you fly away with the flag.

but lets not daydream, cuz most likely reach multiplayer will be nothing like halo: custom edition's multiplayer, which is pitiful because random modders can make better maps.
but if bungie could find a way past this preformance and gameplay issue, reach will have the best multiplayer... EVER. modern warfare 2's multiplayer would be a ghost town, reach would dominate xbox live.
Okay, as said, a 34 v. 34 game would look like 2 frames a second of animation. It would be so choppy, it's not funny. The map size would be larger than sand trap and the loading time would be unbearable.
the 8 vs 8 is great, and it doesn't need to be upgraded because of the afore mentioned reasons. This is why the forge mode in Halo 3 has item caps, so as not to overload the game engine and the councel.
