Howdy All,

I think that the total number of players in MP could be changed. Here are my suggestions:

System Match games - increase the max number of players to 20 per game. This will provide new game opportunities. Of course, not all games would be good with 20 players total but having some games available for a total of 20 players. A lot of the current matchmaking, except for the modders and cheaters, could be the same or similar like TS, hardcore and others. Maybe increase each team to 5 players total on some of the games.

Custom Games - the limit could be ginormous and not just 20 as proposed above. The xbox 360 should have the capability to handle more than 20 players. PDZ did ok with 32 players as long as the host had a good internet connection. I'd say at least 25 players total. Of course I have no idea how the 360 really works and how that could be done. I guess 24 total players would be a better number 6 xboxs x 4 players per box. 28 or 32 could be cool too if there are maps that would provide good game play with that many players. Rumble rockets would be krazy with 32 players!!

Anyway, this is my suggestion to Bungie as far as total players on MP. Also, I would not mind paying an extra buck or two a month to really ensure cheaters and modders get shown the back door no more than 2 days after they start modding or are reported.

more players would be okay i suppose. Its better than the suggestions to have marines, grunts, and spy gear in halo 3. (in multiplayer)

I've heard some people claim that Halo 3 can have as many as 54 people. All I want are super massive maps, at least 5 times bigger than Coagulation.

Up the top of the forum there's a sticky listing big threads you can post in. We would appreciate it if you'd use one of those, instead of creating your own thread for every idea you have.

Personally lag is bad enough already (for other countries besides America). I doubt they'd increase the size any more than it is.

I think 16 is perfect for Halo, and unless they completly change Halo 3 multiplayer, which is highly unlikely, if not impossible, 16 is just right.

I think it should stay at 16 players.
