if you want 50 play battlefield 2 nothing should be considered above 24 and your right it wouldn't lag too much and if it does don't play it

About skipping school at Halo 3 launch day

I'm going to school because I plan on having a life...
Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

It all depends on how good the gameplay and the maps are. If you would have 50 players in a Halo 2 game it would probably be pretty awkward and not very fun, but it might work in Halo 3 if the maps are good.

8 players is great. More stratagy is used. 50 Players=50 idiots with guns running around

If the maps were much bigger then it would be ok to have 24 upwards.

24 max, otherwise there will be too many noobs for pro's to kill=P lol Actually, just alot more kills for cheaters to steal.

  • 06.09.2006 1:07 PM PDT

Defintiely 50. This way, Clans can actually take part in proper inter clan fights and not have to circulate people each round.

The maps would have to be huge if there were 50+ players. And if there were 50 players (as somebody said already) there would be 50 idiots with guns. And you would get killed instantly after spawning.

50 would be okay on large maps and especially for clan matches, but everybody would have to have a good connection...

okay come on lets be serious here ppl. there is no way bungie will do that. they will probably put 24 player or 32 if we are lucky but most likley 24 players is something they would put. plus way too many players and the flamming would be soo annoying.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

i think they should cap it off at 16v16 max. regardless of what the hardware can handle i think much more than that would just be too chaotic.

I think smaller games are funner though. But with a big enough map 24 could be cool

Well, we know the game wont lag if it was up to 50. Bcasue of perfect dark zero was up to that many players and didin't lag. But would that Be good for halo? VOTE AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS. opps, it says the same as halo2 2 twice. sorry about that.

I voted 24, but I really feel that somewhere around 16 would be best. 24 is a bit to big for Halo. It would be fun, but I like the smaller matches in Halo. Maybe you could have 50 people games ONLY for clanmatches or something like that, but normaly I think 16 people(8v8) games are about the right size.

I want a 32 player nonteam slayer game. If any of you have played on Halo PC on battle creek with 16 people, you know how much fun it is.

People, people, people!!! Can we just sit down and think about this for a sec. 50 people in ONE GAME!!! that would just be too chaotic, plus you got think about the lag, and the talking. plus (as already mentioned) THE NOOBES!!!! 8v8 is just fine for me.

I'd be for anything really. Everything from 1v1 all the way up to MMO modes of 100v100 or more. I say whatever is possible then do it. Also to those who say 50, 100 or more players would be too chaotic? True it would be in normal gametypes thats why the normal gamestypes won't allow that many players. Specific game types and maps would be created for such large numbers of players, and would include more then the standard gametypes we have now. Missions for example or a persistant virtual world of open warfare. Though to be honest a 100v100 game of slayer on some enormous map sounds oh so amazing.
