Epic 100+ player battles are completely chaotic online. Trust me. I play Joint Ops on 150 player servers. The problem is that everyone on your team has to know what he's doing and do his job well, even if it's as boring as driving a truck back and forth, otherwise you're just running for 2 minutes just to get killed by some damn American in a ghile suit hiding behind a trees.

I prefer 10 players games. Nice and manageable, plus you can kill the whole enemy team in one graceful action.

I think future games should be in cyberspace, a lot like Tron. Everything would seem real, including pain and death. But I dont know how long before this can be a reality.

Forget Tron. A Matrix-like realistic Virtual Reality environment would be much more fun, but I suppose you could simulate just about any environment. Plus, -blam!- comes alive (literally).

I said Tron not because of the unrealistic graphics, I said it just to state a fact that its in cyberspace, but Matrix makes total sense. Halo on cyberspace(totally badass!!!)

Heh, Halo would be very surreal in VR unless it's graphics were given a photorealistic overhaul. And I would _not_ want to know what it feels like to get infected by the Flood.
