I don't think Halo deserves this but MS does because of all that money that they have invested into gaming. Personally I think Halo series is way overhyped (Seriously 16 player online multiplayer at year 2007 and it gets praises?). I still like Halo games though. Controlls are superb and games have great athmosphere.

You're kind of missing the point.  More players does not automatically equal more fun, in fact often it just equals more frustration. 

I happen to agree that I'd rather have less players and great balance to the gameplay than more numbers but I can see why people feel they're missing out.  My guess is if they ever actually tried building a balanced multiplayer map for over 32 players on other games then they might understand why its the overall experience thats more valuable than simply "bigger".

Impressive sales for Halo 3 and well deserved for the franchise.
