BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Note: this is a idea that "should" be done, we all know it won't happen



We know why crappy console games were imposed a 16 player limit due to bad hosting, memory usage and w/e else idk.

So, with the PC being superior than the cheap crappy console that Bungie loves developing on, it would be wise to give this game a higher player limit...

Say, 64? 128? 256? :D

Maps like Hugeass would be better suited. :D

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

CoD4 PC supports 64 players, so Halo should too. It won't happen, but it should. Of course, it would break compatability with older versions, but that would only affect Mexican CE pirates.

That sounds awesome. I would definitely want that. I don't see any downside to it, though, none of the PC maps (Except Infinity) would be suited for 64 players. Maybe this should be a Custom Edition thing only?

Bungie's sense of gameplay is really boring, I bet they'd never find a map like Hugeass with lots of players very fun.

They probably would. You have to take in mind that everything they did with Halo was because it was on a console. They probably wanted to make it with massive amounts of people, but they just couldn't. I think that's probably why they're, according to rumors, making a FPSMMORPG

They could, but they choose to balance it out with more objects, instead of more players.

A limitation on a console like this, does not and should not exist on the PC versions.

They should update this, and break compatibility with all old versions of Halo and their hacking programs. :D
Goodbye pirates, more time wasted for haxorz. :D

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

I thought you of all people would be well aware that anything beyond 16 players is pretty much impossible for the severely limited Halo engine.

There's so much retardedness in the Halo engine.
I guess it doesn't matter if you have a PC, the engine will still carry over console's crappy limitations, why bother redesigning the engine for the PC?

Can we call developers lazy, or ignorant?

I like how Rockstar wasn't so lazy and adapted GTA IV for the PC with 32 players, because they knew it was a good way to accommodate more RAM usage. :D

I like how all of the halo games made by Bungie or ported are all restricted to 16 players, it's not as though the Blam! engine does it, it's Bungie that locks the game to 16 players only.
