ok, if you've played halo 3, you might have realized that it plays player to player connection, not servers. which makes the game lag, alot. so, for there to be way less lag, bungie should make servers for this game. and, in matchmaking instead of a 8v8 maybe a 16v16?

It's really not that simple. In order to make them work you need to place them in basically every part of the world so the other people don't have lag. If there was only 1 server in the US, I would have crap connection here in NZ.
Also it's totally pointless. If a server crashes everyone is disconnected and the maintenance can take a very long time. Person to Person connection is much easier. People who lag during this just need a better connection. I play with a bit of lag every once in a while but I'm used to it.

i'm sorry, no. Thats one of the worst ideas I've heard in a while. Do any of you know the difficulties involved in servers? How much more processing power it needs (the Wii can run up to 12 people on its -balm!- of a processor). How much money is needed to run the servers? Pay for the storage? Power? Maintenance? Software? The only things that can run server play properly with minimal lag is the PS3 and high end computers. If a high end laptop can't play on a server with out lag, how can a 360? You know why lot of games are having their servers shut down? Because they're bloody expensive! Player to Player is cheaper and more efficient. If your lagging, get a better internet connection or properly set your router/modem for gaming instead of -blam!-ing for servers.

Isn't it possible to have both incase a server crashes and needs to be repaired wouldn't it be possible to switch to play to player connections for the people the server affects.

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.”

It isn't going to happen.

It would cost a lot of money, and the current system works well enough.

Get used to it people. P2P is the wave of the future because it drastically reduces the overhead and maintenance costs of maintaining a server network.

Especially considering they are only linking up 16 players. The Halo FPS will never be an MMO.
