Halo 2 Multiplayer limit, 16, 32, 64? - VGF

Jingle Jangles · 06-02-2004, 09:40 PM

I am a very optomistic person when it comes down to things.
Anyone know the multiplayer range like max on the best map be the definitely possible 16 or 32? Even a far off emense number as 64 [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]
Definitely don't want the sequal for Halo for xbox do the same thing that Jedi Knight 3 did. 8 players max, phooey. Ya can't find people in most maps

I hope its 32, because so far all I've heard is that the maps are HUGE and that the vehicles will be used more. So with 32 players it would allow huge teams to go at it. But yeah, its prolly just wishful thinking. 64 would be insane though O_o

I'd want a higher number of like 24 or 32. Maybe if that's not possible on Xbox Live, they can have those number's of people for System Link or something.

Most I've seen on live is like 16 players at a time. They're looking to match or beat that. Odds are that it'll support more system-link than live.

Just scanned through some articles, the limit appears to be 16. Still, that's not bad at all.

Lurch rumors of more than 16 system link? Awesome. Giant party a few days in my area. Maybe to matches of 16??

Wolfos, well considering the account of connecting over the internet and such i can see why 16 is what they went for. Just hope its nearly flawless. 16 is definitely not bad at all.

If you haven't already goto bungie.com and check out the 3-D screenshot. Looks really great.

64 would be INSANE... absolutely insane. They should do that, for PC at least. Can you IMAGINE the lan parties my CS clan would have... hehehehehe...

Erm. Yeah, they should make it AT LEAST 16, but 32 would be best, like CS.

In the Halo 2 FAQ's they say 16 player xbox live play, and you'll be able to connect up to 16 seperate xbox's also, or atleast that's what they're hoping for.
