No, dedicated servers won't work like you think. They seem to work for
Battlefield
World of War Craft
War Hammer Online
Runes of Magic
Free Realms
any MMO in general
None of these games require close to the intensive graphics processing that Halo 3 does. Also Halo 3 multiplayer doesn't have loading screens which most MMO's do when you enter a new area.
I hate when people think graphics have anything to do with networking code. Graphics have very little to nothing to do with networking at all... Its not like the pixels and polygons are jammed through ur cable modem(or what ever provider u use), the only thing that is sent is location of platers and some other small player info which are very small file packets... No graphics code is sent over the internet, therefor you can have the best looking game ever made with multiplayer use the same amount of bandwidth as the worst looking game with multiplayer. Battlefield 1943 is a pretty decent looking game and it has 24 players with no lag because of dedicated servers.
