i believe the biggest flaw in HALO 1 was the fact that when playing mulitplyer you were restricted to two teams, so either playing online through XBC or an actual propper LAN, it was either red or blue. In HALO 2 i think a good idea would be to maximise the team capacity to 4, so in effect making it a team per xbox, a red, blue, yellow and white team etc. when there was only 2 teams before and you were playing 16 player you pretty much knew where people were going to spawn after you killed them and it was easy to get killtacular after killtacular. if there are more teams it will make for longer games, more tactics. This may not work for other game modes such as CTF but for team slayer i think it is a nessecity (sp :/) rather than an option.

what does everyone else feel about this, i am sure bungie and the team behind making HALO 2 have put some thought into this, but reading through the FAQ section there is no mention of it.

cheers

I actually think that they already implemented four teams in HALO 2. Red, Blue, Gold, and one other color which I forgot. I think it was in a weekly update.

Of course its true, why would bungie lie to us. Oh wait, there are loads of reasons to lie to us, but i'm to tired to type them all.

Yeah, it's been confirmed. I think it's good, it would certainly make capture the flag interesting with four bases rather than two ^_^

It'd certainly bring new strategy into it if you were against three other teams =p

maybe certin mp maps alow a certein amount of teams by the ammonut of bases there is, because if u wanted to play with three teams on a four team map then would there be an extra base that would be kind of odd, but, well....idk anyone have any ideas for a situation like this?

It'd just be an empty base, as if you were playing a non-ctf game.
