Subject: more than 16 player is possible on x360

ok before you start moaning about private servers and lag issues and stuff look at battlefield for -blam!-s sake, they work perfectly with 24 players and the same amount of lag issues as any other game or less in fact on the 360, so.... bring on the pelicans and longswords!! :D

It would be lag central.

I still use that because Battlefield has dedicated servers. Whereas Bungie does not.

being possible =/= going to happen.

technically if you made a game with crap graphics (as good as a N64 game), you could raise the number of players up to 100+ ...going to happen? no.

also, just get over it, it doesn't fit to the halo game style.
halo is NOT about huge scale battles. it's not about 20v20. they might raise the number of players to 20 (10v10) but it won't ever go higher. you'd need huge maps for this.
not even talking of the fact bungie uses host players instead of servers, which means heavy lag if too many players.

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's good.

Take WWII for example. (Ah, that's a bit extreme...)

Bring Halo to 20 and stop there. That way, large-scale battles are possible, but we can still play good arcade FPS on good small maps.

I personally hate the number of Battlefield clones out right now.

let me add, since everybody is hellbent on having 20v20 ... how would you feel is metal gear solid became a MMO? or gears of wars went from 5v5 to 12v12? it'd blow. it's not how these games are supposed to be played.

Viva La Revolution!
Social Infection ftw

There are different playlists for Halo so::

Social Playlists:

FFA 1-8 players
Infection 1-20 players
Social Slayer 6-10 players
Social skirmish 8-12
Big Team Slayer 12-16
Epic Team Slayer 14-20
ZOMGWTFBBQ Team Slayer 20-40
BUNGLE Pro

I find big team battles extremely fun, with alot of Halo's Non-MLG gameplay involving Vehicles, it really isn't a bad idea. The only things you need are dedicated servers

40 players? Are you clinically insane!!! How much lag do you want to have?

this is a new game right? so that means new possibilities so bungie could mix up the halo formula a bit maybe keep this to big team battle and make huge maps dedicated to big team battle we need it to be more like custom edition!!!

"we" don't. YOU do...

we're not talking of ruling out every new ideas. but having 20v20 is never happening. there'd be more players in ONE team than there were players in both team...

Custom edition was awesome, and anyway he never said 20v20 cos yes that is ridiculous.

But 12v12 would work, just not on MLG which besides only about 5% of halo players care about.
(and you get maps good enough for your gametype anyway) But there aren't enough big maps suitble for big team battle which even if it is a minority like MLG (which it probably isn't) we deserve our say as well.

So Dedicated servers, Bigger maps, bring on the trumpets (err I mean pelicans).

thanks chips i can understand why a lot of people are against this idea because they like the original halo formula and dont want to stray too far from it but custom edition is proof this system could work and still feel like halo just a more epic 12v12 battle and also if bungie do listen to -blam!-s that love mlg and competitiveness and make the game favour towards them then im pretty sure i wont buy the game and neither would a lot of people it would just be for overly competitive players whos perfect game would consist of a br and a sniper, plain tiny maps and nothing else
