Halo would only suffer it had more than 16 players honestly. Some games it works great for but Halo is certainly not one of them. It would completley destroy multipler to have like 30 people.

well maybe your right but they boast about big epic 40+ ai battles in single player, so it only makes sense to have massive battles in mp.

Yea I'm glad they still stuck with 16 max. If you play Halo, you'll know that 8 v 8 on those maps is plenty haha.

But seems really awesome and being a huge Halo fan, fall can't come quick enough. And can't wait for my Game Informer to come in the mail (that's a first haha).

ha i know how you feel,im a massive rpg fan so ff13 cant come quick enough for me.

- Health Bar is back along with energy shield.

Oh great! Just when I was getting used to no health bar + regeneration, they had to make all the future FPS games go back to the a hybrid system. Great stuff bungie!

Seriously am not happy with the changes.

First it was health.

Then health + armour.

Then health + regeneration or shield.

Then the Halo 2 system of just regeneration.

Now finally do we have to go back to simply health + shield regeneration.

FFS Bungie! Practice responsible innovation! Now every game is going to go back to health bars!

I don't choose to blame the games which copy Halo, I choose to blame Halo.

 


You don't have regenerative health because this is a prequel to Halo 1 where you use armor without the layer of healing gel. Only Mark VI has auto healing (Halo 2-3)

hmmm sounds pretty awesome but only 16 players online....fail.

So says the guy who owns only ps3? Anyway for a game like halo....Anyway (in my opinion) 16 player already feels chaotic enough for me.

what do you mean by that snide remark?did i say anything bad??

Awesome stuff!

Still not sure about regenerating health for multiplayer though... Playing M.A.G. just recently made me remember how much I hate it. For single player it's going to be OK though, no problem.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

With the kind of graphical update we're looking at with Reach, I think its kinda unfair to expect more players/bigger maps in MP. You can't have it all.

Maybe Halo 720 will support 24 - 32, but asking a 360 game to do better gfx than H3 (which was pretty good) *and* bigger maps/more players is a bit too much. Bungie knows Halo. Let em do it right, and don't whine about the MP player count.
