Dont flame me if this has already been posted...

It says a max of 16 players online.. That makes me wounder... Is it 16 with a deticated server? or can you host a Server with upto 16 players with out making it deticated.

yes....you can..as with other games as well..if you dont have a 'good' connection it might lag a bit (that is what they claim though)...ex: Rainbow Six 3 ....you can host more than it is recomended...meaning 16 players including you...anyways....the short answer is : YES

Im not sure but what was the origonal Halo for xbox limit? I know PC was 16 since i had it but it was seriously laggy cause soo many ppl with 56k dial up and even if you had dial up it would allow you ro host 16 players. The dedicated ones were good most of the time though.

ok ..see...here i was thinking you were talking about on xbox live...for xbox live you HAVE TO...use a broadband connection....there is no 56k or anything in between, and HALO 1 didnt exactly have xbox live feature....and i believe 16 players was the limit (LAN PARTY ANYONE?)

conclusion: 16 players over xbox live could be (not sure if you will be able to, because game isnt out yet) possible....now..im hoping for 24 hehe.....which once again..can be possible...especially with the whole bump mapping..etc...(see: Battlefield: Modern Combat for the xbox)

you can host 16 dedicated and non dedicated...at least thats what i think it will be like.....by looking at other games...you can see this is possible
