Just wanted to ask if Bungie has announced if Halo3 is going to run on dedicated servers yet. Probably a stupid question and I couldn't search the forum for an answer to this question. Any response appreciated.

Halo CE = Lan party
Halo 2 = Live
The reason so many people think halo 2 takes no skill is because in halo ce the only competition were friends in the next room. when the same people get on live, they realize they are no where close to being the best and therefore blame their loss on unbalance in the weapons and game.

Its not going to run on servers.
Trust me.
Its not going to happen because its not practical.
Bungie will simply change the networking of Host and Clients to better optimize the Bandwidth.
Servers are not only unpractical, but the servers would be too laggy.
If you play BF2:MC it has problems with lag because when there are too many games being hosted from a server it doesn't have the resources.

That problem exists with BF2. Imagine a game such as Halo 3.
By far the Halo community is larger than the Modern Combat Community.
It would be nearly impossible to host that many games.

Wow you can't even spell, so don't bother trying to make an intelligent post; you might hurt yourself.

Maybe, but can't see it happening.

only reason i asked is that dedicated servers would help me decide to purchase a 360 sooner when halo3 released as opposed to waiting longer for it's lineup to more fully incorporate games that appeal to me.
