Does anybody know if therer has been any talk about the setup for multiplayer. i.e. are we going to be limited to just using four (4) Xboxes again for say a 16-man game or will be able to have it where we can have possibly say eight (8) XBoxes more so that we can have a larger screen when playing? The last 16-man game I played we had four large screen video projectors to make viewing easier but it wojuldhave been nice to have it where we could of had one or two people per screen.

There is a 16 player limit but there can be up to 16 boxes so say 16 people on 16 boxes or 2 people on 8 boxes get it.

They have actually not said it's a 16 player limit... One of the Bungie updates mentions there will be "at least" 16 players.

you need 5 lan hubs to have a 16 player game everyone on a dif screen and xbox

figure it like this each lan hub has 4 conections and 1 uplink so 4 hubs to conect directly to the consoles and 1 hub to conect directly to the other hubs via uplink port all the hubs would cost a total of $200 dollars if you got them from game stop that is a lot of setup and clean up work
