I would like to think it will be massive. Huge maps, Drop-off vehicles(pelican), Alot of players, high level of detail the works. Yeah, The sweetest of 'em all. I can almost taste it man.

i think there should be AI controlled pelicans if they cant you cant actually fly them in multiplayer that bring back the vehicles. These can get shot down and you can "stun" one with a shot to a certain spot in the wing or somethin. Imagine the humans think a new warthog is coming when out the back pile 8 elites who are thoroughly pissed

Actually, if I recall they said they were trying to get over 16 players at one time, they didn't specify weither it was 32 or not though...

I know it hasn't been done before but being able to combine a Lan and a Live game would be awesome.

I highly doubt it will be able to support 32 players on Live. First, huge maps and 32 people dont go well on the PC, I can only imagine on Xbox. Second, vehicles, explosives and 32 people dont go too well. And third, huge maps, vehicles, explosives and 32 people, wont work at all. You would be getting massive lag spikes, and you would be skipping all over the map. I would be shocked if Halo 2 could support 32 online. I would guess the limit would be 16, it seems to be the current standard.

okay you bring up some good points boot117. It would make sense to have 16 instead of 32 players in one game. But don't you think that they could have been working on servers for online multi-Player? They might have been doing online and offline multi-player -blam!-. Right? I mean it would take a while to create a game that looks like Halo 2 and make massive maps with alot of players.

The answer to your question is simply this. This is directly from the mouth of Bungie. They are trying to get as many as possible without major lag issues. I would guess 24 at max.

I am going to be modest in my thinking.

I think 16 players. The same awesome gameplay from the first but with all the vehicles, weapons, etc. I predict large maps and small maps, I see pure fun. I see new chances to play with the physics system. You thought some of the stuff we saw with gernades and warthogs was something. I predict that we haven't seen nothing yet.

I also predict a few old favorite maps come back with some redesign to them.

I personally can't wait at all.

Yes, that would be cool... if the Xbox had infinately more RAM and everyone had T3's.

Look at battlefield 1942 it has massive battle with up to 64 payer with bigger explosions and bigger maps because u can rent a server from EA if there are people who do this all the time cause its only like 5 bucks a month (i still couldnt pay it though) It lets you set up a game how you want than u can play on your own game. Plus on battlefield you can rent more than one server per game

Renting servers on Xbox live...

I like it! An extra five bucks or more a month would be worth it man!

I think I herd somewhare that the vehicles will be able to be blown up. Every time time one gets blown up, a AI pelican can drop another one of the same type and drop it somwhere in the middle of the map.
