Danial.Beta	Many games have had that for a while now. I can't understand why Halo 2 couldn't have that many. Bad programming I suppose.

I_Delete_MJ_Clans	I thought the max limit was 32 wow this will grab TWICE as much attention.

Hey, if you want to see a lot of players online, go look at Planetside. Planetside makes 128 player games took small.

Even more, Planetside came out before Halo 2; More than a year before Halo 2.

Cavern	Doesn't Halo 3 come out in like, 2010?

D4RK3 54B3R	It's rare to have game developers hyping a game four years before its release.

Cavern	That is why I asked. It says "Release Date: 2010" on the official website though.

Tiko	It says 2007 on my browser. http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo3/ content.aspx?link=Halo3AboutPage

The Xbox can't handle that many things at once. If you play a full 16-player game on a small map wait untill the weapons dropped by the dead players start to pile up. If you're playing with a 360 everything will be fine but, everyone on an Xbox will have bad framerate problems.

It's a new RTS game on the 360 coming out from the people who made the Age of Empires games, based in the Halo Universe. Looks awesome. Be sure to check out the CG (again, CG) trailer.

Also, Peter Jackson is setting up a game studio (Wingnut Interactive) with Microsoft to create a new Halo game (different part of the story in the Haloverse) and their own intellectual property.

Looks like a great couple of years for Halo fans with Halo 3, Halo Wars, PJ's game, and the movie!

Stealth 2k	Yeah, X06 was pretty impressive in my opinion. Sony took some blows from MS. They are losing the Splinter Cell games after Double Agent is released and thats a huge game for all consoles. A personal fan myself, but does not hurt my feelings because I like the 360 and live anyways. Just a little add-on about X06 instead of making a new thread. -S2k
