I think Halo 3 on Xbox live should be set up as it is now. Not a Dedicated Server because Ranks wouldn't work as well...comments?

Why wouldn't ranks work as well?

Ok, a ton of people play halo 2 online, and Bungie would have to pay a lot of money to get dedicated servers, and even more to get service for the servers. They would litterally need Terrabites of bandwidth to run Dedicated servers.

What? The Matchmaking would be as it is now, except of joining a game and then assigning a host, you would simply join a game and the dedicated server would be host.

I don't understand. Why would Bungie have dedicated servers for Halo 2: Vista, and not for Halo 3? Tons more people have PC's than XBOX 360's.

Yeah except for the fact that would bankrupt Bungie.

How many computers do you think it would take to run that many games? How much power would that cost? How much building space?

Don't worry about the money and equipment aspect of it. Remember, Microsoft backs Bungie 100%. I can almost bet that anything Bungie wants to do, in terms of pushing Halo 3 and the Xbox 360, Microsoft will do it.
