This is Halo, not Battlefield 1942. If you increase the size of maps and the total amount of players, game types are going to have to change. Do you know how much of a -blam!- balancing a 50 player death match would be? That's why I think the only way to have more than say 32 players would be a war mode with Elites vs. Spartans. I can't imagine the frustration and annoyance of playing a 50 man free for all...ugh.

the map would have to be huge with lots of guns a vehichles....but i agree Awesome idea

how about a map with spaceships in space+ground (defenetly make it big enongh) you could get in the ship by a teleport,grav lift, etc.

P.S. lag me be a problem

I agree. I mean big team battle is lag central these days. But yes it would be really cool.

While we're at it why don't we have a class based 50 player match. Each side 1 Spartan+24 marines, different classes vs 1 high ranking elite + a mix of other Covenant forces.

You know why they won't do that? It's just not Halo. Halo's about that intimate feeling you get with your opponent. It's about the satisfaction of sneaking up on an enemy in a narrow hallway and hearing them scream through their mic or from across the living room as you drive the butt of your rifle into the back of their head. That's what Halo is about.

Please Bungie if I had to beg for one thing, it would be that multiplayer wouldn't change much from Halo 2. 16 players max, and maps that aren't much bigger. No pelicans. No space battles. Just tweak some vehicle and weapon balance issues *plasma pistol...shotgun...nerfed magnum* here and there. That's all.

Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......

“Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell that here, obeying her behests, we fell.”

i agree being a grunt or a hunter would totally destroy the gameplay in multiplayer

Sure hope so, big battle = big fun. The only prob. with it is lag.

lag is a HUGE PROBLEM. It might be possible on T3. Not much lower.

It would be over in a matter of seconds... especially if you have any skill at all.

If it doesn't lag (which could depend on your connection), that would be one of the best parts of MP for sure. =D

its a great idea but would you honestly like it? imagine the lag! not only that but the levels would have to be two or three times the size coag or containment, with levels that size it wouldnt be fun...at least to me! id say keep it 16 or maybe go to 24

coagulation is barely big enough to hold 25... twice that is too big.. and also you'll need host with gold like upload or a server.

  • 05.22.2006 1:43 PM PDT

24 people would be enough and the connection speeds are getting faster like the better looking games

Why care if 50 is the limit? Bungie can simply limit amounts in different match making types so if you want to play with 16, do 16. If they did do 50, I'm sure Bungie would be smart enough to not allow a 50 player map to show up in a 16 player game. The same goes for having a 1 on 1, Bungie wouldn't make Containment show up.

Why complain with options? If you don't like 50 just play with less, but having more does not hurt. I'm sure at times you will find yourself with 30+ friends with you, and you will be glad that you have this option do go as high as you can reasonably want.

sounds good, but it might lag.

  • 05.22.2006 2:08 PM PDT

Sure it would be sweet if we lived in a perfect world. But come on lets be realistic about this 50 players online at one time?! thats crazy talk. Sure it would be cool if bungie could pull it off. But I mean look at halo 2 it has problems playing with just 12-16 players at one time. So 50 players at one time would probably not work unless they changed the way the network works. Like have dedicated servers, but those would cost way too much. So I wouldn't get your hopes up for 50 players but expect more like 32 players at one time like PDZ's online setup.

They just need 16vs16 that would be perfect. They all so need a lil bit bigger map new weapons ect... That would make it awsome

yeah, I dont think it should be more then 32... 16v16 would be sweet! but I think that anymore would kinda just take away from it, I mean, 32 is even pushing it a bit far... like Perfect Dark Zero, and Unreal, those games can have like 50 people playing, and its kinda lame I think... too many different people, and if bungie ended up making it 50... it would just seem kinda like a rip off of Unreal, cause theyve had 50+ people in matches since Ureal Tournament 2004... and yeah, it just sucks in my opinion...
