this is just my imagination talking but wouldnt it be cool if there was only 1 map to the reach multiplayer. 1 map is all it would take. but this isnt the normal sized maps like in halo 2 or 3. but a map miles long. imagine a map with an enormous covenant base in the north and a unsc base in the south. then in the east there is an enourmous desert, and in the west a vast ocean, and inbetween the bases is a valley surounded by about a dozen mountains. outside and inside the valley is a huge forest that stretches from either base.
and the vehicles? well it would be sick if they added the ones from halo wars. and u could drive pelicans and phantoms. and then add a huge space battle over head. have a small unsc orbital defence platform surounded by 10 or 20 huge ships and then a covenant space station with the same numbers. all being able to drop odst's onto the map below.
too far fetched? ya i know.
but its a pretty sick idea.
u have to admit.

I have to admit it's a bad idea.

one map = one setting, however big it is.
unless you can fit snow, swamps, cities, bases, forests and maybe even spaceships in a mile long map.

(*hint : they wouldn't blend well...*)

not even talking of the main problem : HUGE map needs lots of player. it'll lag a lot.
the hardware isn't even capable of having more than 40 players at the same time in one game... and such a big map with 20 players?

besides, I like having several maps, with each their own feeling (sandtrap feels different than snowbound... just an example).

not 1 mile long maybe like 50. but ur right about the players. it would take an entire army to fight on this map. and as i said before its my imagination talking. a huge war map. 100 UNSC vs 100 covenant. and cmon, it would be pretty cool going out in a full scale war zone and shooting everything u can see

well the reason why im thinking of just one map is it would take up a lot of room on the console

How can you tell? The PS3 and PSN can handle 256 players in MAG (There have been no reports of frustration from the beta testing) Im Sure The Xbox 360 and Xbox Live can (modestly) handle about the same number of players.

It's all about the developers and the game engine.

Having dedicated servers could fix the lag issue to some extent, but yes, the space idea is horrible. I would love to see a massive battlefield, where you can attack in hundreds of different ways. But it does seem like it would become very easy to get bored playing the same map day in and day out.
