Why does everyone want more players? I don't want to try to communicate objectives and commands in Team Deathmatch to 15 other people on my team. Its hard enough to get 7 other people to respond and play together. 8v8 is just fine with me.
I also think that trying to dodge sniper fire from 10 guns at the same time doesn't sound too fun. You always have half the other team sniping. 4 snipers is enough.

This is kinda what I was getting at before.Even if the engine can handle more people why make it more unbalanced.

I think it's obvious that 16 players is due to more economical limitations since the engine itself handles more, this is going to be the biggest online game this generation, it's going to hard enough to make sure everyones getting a good connection as it is.

They didn't play multiplayer. They said that you could expect at least 16 players, so we'll have to wait for details on multiplayer.

Pity we will not hear the convenant talking in English anymore some of their dialoque was quite funny...'YOU KILLED FLIPYAP! Or, Yapflip, it was Yapflip, no, Flipyap was his brother! DON'T TELL ME I DON'T KNOW FLIPYAP! Flipyap and I went to Nipple Academy together! And *sob* now he's dead..' but makes sense in that part of time.



Edit: A new enemy?  Bah this makes no sense in the Halo universe tss thx Bungie...

^^I would much rather them bring new gameplay opportunities where they see fit rather than be a slave to a universe. It is a game after all.

i also just noticed that it said at the very least you can expect...2 player splitscreen...16player multiplayer. just speculation.

hype meter exploding here looks to be epic.

And for me, I need more than just hype.  I need to see some justifiable reason to get this besides... "IT'S HALO!  WITH BETTER GRAPHICS!"  I have had my fill of everything Halo, if it stays as it is.  I need more.  Adding Counter-Strike stuff sounds promising to me.  I want something that would do what MAG does.  Oh well.

for all we know reach could have massive online battles simaler to mag. it could have that in adition tomultiplayer simaler to halo 3.

After I'm cooled dowen a - muahhhhhhhh!- bit, I was asking my self, If we will see some of the units wich where introduced by HaloWars ? Will there be

UNSC:
-Wolverine
-Cobra
-Gremlin
-Grizzly
-Cyclops
-Flamethrower
-Hawk
-Vulture

Covenant:
-Locust
-Vampire
-Enginee?

And more important, will they be playable? I would like to capture a Locust or flying around in a Hawk.
I would really like to see some more units- at least on UNSC side.
Or will the Jackals cousin and the Falcon be the only new unit ? I don' hope so, but there's no doubt this will be one of the greatest games on X360.
