One thing i think would be great for halo multiplayer is having more guys, not a whole lot more, but around 20-24 would be great. what do you think?

The story of the Fall of Reach includes huge battles, so it would be nice to see these larger scale battles transfer over to the multiplayer. I agree with you, not too much more is needed, 20-24 would suffice.

I'm totally fine with 16 players, I don't see why people complain about wanting more, I find the current games in BTB to be hectic. I really don't see why we need more.

16 is good, maybe 18, but not too many, that just becomes chaos.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I would be happy with 16. Even happier with 18. And I would love 20. Anything beyond that would suck without a new gameplay style (Classes, more focus on parts of the larger map, etc.) or it would just play like a cluster-blam!-.

I some cases yes more players would be great like sandtrap for instance but I think as more players are added to the game graphics should slightly decrease to off set the lag involved with a lot of players at a time

18, no more than 20. If players don't feel special because you almost do nothing, then it's no fun.

If they make more players, they need larger maps to accomodate them. Im all for that personally aslong as the unique Halo experince is kept intact.

32 players would be simply one word...........awsome

  • 10.05.2009 7:39 PM PDT

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

I think 24 would be perfect, it's not too high, but it another 8 players more than Halo limit of 16.

I think Halo REACH should have a min 0f 24 players. 32 players BTB, just think of the carnage.

Tell that to Audie Murphy.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Based on the current amounts of both system and network lag, 16 is being optimistic. Especially with no improvement in hardware.

when you put it that way then 16 would remain good
