the only way we will ever get MAG type battles( 30v30 or more) in Halo is if Bungie resorts to dedicated servers. Where there is no host at all everyone has a green connection no matter what type of internet they have and the only way an individual would lag would be because of there connection from there source to their xbox.
Wrong, dedicated servers do not make everyones internet work, that is entirely up to the ISP of the indivudual. What dedicated servers do accomplish is the removal of a singular host advantage, instead you get advantage based on ping rate.
ive played on dedicated halo servers because a dude hosts a game in a t3 connection.. wow it is almost like lan
You may simply be mispeaking yourself here as there is no dedicated server for xbl play, no matter what the host is using. If all players and the host share great connection to eachother, then what you are describing is possible, though this is not the norm considering international play and the fact that not all internet connections are equal, regardless of connection medium (P2P or server).
Ask anyone that has been PC gaming since the early 90's, lag is just as prevalent on servers as it is on xbl host/client system. Anyone who tells you differently is either lying or ignorant. All that being said, dedicated servers also have high costs associated with them, not to mention that when a server goes down, everyone is S.O.L., no alternative.
Servers have some benefits, but the are nothing like what you are outlining here.
