What about this for a Multiplayer mode in Halo Reach.

Isn't it a dream for everyone playing with A LOT of players in a LOTR-sized battlefield.

I mean, like a real war.

MAG


MAG is not 256 vs 256.

It's just 256. Maybe 128 vs 128.

Here, we're talking about MSFT's competition big time.

MAG only has such a large pvp multiplayer because it is only a multiplayer game and the PS3 can handle having that big of an area.

Fallout 3 has a huge area but the 360 can't handle it as well as a PC or PS3 can.

I doubt that we will get anything bigger than the usual 8v8.

why?

I'm really asking, no offense.

I mean if 256 is already possible, why not 512 for next year's ending?

Because the 360 couldn't handle that many people on such a large map. It is possible if you did it with Super Nintendo graphics, but not the current style we are used to today.

LOL some people don't even have a clue lol xbox can't handle more than 8v8? Ha! Frontlines fuels of war anyone? that hardly even lagged at all. I mean 512 people would be absoloutley epic but I sadly doubt that that will happen but Reach needs atleast 24v24 plus ai bots, it is Reach after all.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

512 players, heck why not. Oh yeah, graphics would have to be 8 bit.

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

Not to mention, consider how long it takes to find a match of 5v5 or 8v8.

Now try to find a match of 256v256.

How will MAG actually work talking about finding matches?

  • 07.27.2009 1:40 PM PDT

I would like big matches but 500vs500 would be a too big nothing over 50vs50 or it would have to have a GIGANTIC map I just hope to have matches/maps big enough to justify the used of pelicans and phantoms

MAG=LAG hahaha
i wud like to see bigger battles in Campaign though
For Example your a Spartan and have two spartans with you Fred and Kelly as well as 20 Marines with you at a Large Bunker that is needed for the battle of Reach for its strategic adavantages and needs to be defend you also have 5 Warthogs and 6 Turets at the Bunker then you see 20 Elits 50 Grunts charging toward you as well as 4 Banshee's and 5 Wraiths and you need to defend the bunker by any meens neccessary this would be Epic and this is just how the battles happened in the book

Go to the MAG website or the Flood and find out.

This is the goddamn Halo:Reach forum.

For massive games the server/host situation needs a serious rethink. Social BTB can barely tolerate 8v8 without chugging despite green bars. I'd love a 16v16 or more though, it seems to be what Halo is meant to be.

MAG is ambitious but stupid. A game like MAG requires communication, and most people are to shy to talk with strangers, and a PS3 friends list can't have that many people on it, and even if you could fit that many people onto your friends list, it's very unlikely that everyone will be playing the same game.

Wow!! 512 = 256 + 256... you cant even use maths.

Its stupid, 8 v 8 BTB is good, maybe 12v12 that is enough.

its stupid, Lag will be crazy, the graphics will be crap. Communication poo.

Dedicated severs will be needed, meaning the game will cost more, maybe even subscription. You wont be able to host the game. It would just be stupid is that good enough for you?

That would be amazing, but I think it would rather be 117 vs. 117. Xbox needs a game like MAG.

How about this. Halo: Reach, remains a Halo game.

  • 07.27.2009 3:31 PM PDT

Yeah, I guess you could say I play competitavely. (=

Xbox 360's simply can't handle anything more then 32 vs 32 and even that is tremendously laggy. What the fail are people smoking these days?

If this is the state of my art, then I secede.

Hell, why not 5000 vs. 5000?
