I have heard rumors of a new feature which allows ~16~ XBOXS at 1 time with 4 people on each...

grand total....64....But only for system link and LAN.....Now you tell me this....


Fact or Fiction?

Gentlemen.......sound off at this forum to prove me wrong or prove me right....

That would be awesome, although I think they would have to make a huge make for it. Probably bigger than Sidewinder, Blood Gultch and Death Island combined, just to account for that amount of people.

-S

According to Frankie in the latest update, the game supports 16 players.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Fiction. 64 person multiplayer via XBL would make everyones connection die. Hosting a 16 player game in RS3 with no lag is impressive. There is no way in hell there could be a 64 player lagless game. And everywhere you turn you would be shooting someone. The maps would be so overcrowded.

fiction, you can use 16 Xboxes, but that is only if 16 people want an Xbox to themselves. 16 players still maximum

Just keep in mind that Bungie is MS's baby, and that they will give them anything they need to ensure that Halo 2 is the best gaming experience ever, through better servers or whatever

Not to say 64 players will happen, just keep that in mind

16 players tops in game , 16 Xboxes can be used on a LAN.

Its up to the players to determine the player/box ratio for example:

16 boxes with 1 players each
8 boxes with 2 players each
4 boxes with 4 players each

64 players would be a mess, and more does not equal better. 16 is perfect and I would bet $100 its the final max player count when the game ships in Nov.

It is not possible to have 64 people playing on xbox live, I would be crazy lag. Maby If you had a halo 2 party but how likely is it that 64 people are gonna show up to one? not likely.
The maps for halo 2 will be huge and could possibly support 64 people, but its not gonna happen.

Listen everybody:

Nobody knows yet; we think we know things but there could be things going on behind-the-scenes that we know nothing about

Never underestimate a company that is owned by a man who made what you're typing on this very instant (unless you got a Mac :))

Puh-leeze, Gates knows nothing about videogames ( the only game he plays is "chess"), and he has made lots of turd software in the past.

Just because the game allows 16 Xbox LAN everyone made the moronic assumption that 64 will be in the game....well....umm....lets see....NO.

It's not about Bill Gates' knowledge for games, it's the simple fact that he's the richest man on Earth, and basically creates any new technology that is available when pertaining to computers, networking, internet, etc
