Originally planned for "64+" according to Rare, but an official press release said it would only be 32. This is not because the game can't handle it, but because there isn't enough time before launch to test and balance it.

I think it's important to note that they also said they would continue testing after release and if possible they would release a patch of some-sort to allow more than 32 players if the testing was successful.

So 32 players at launch 50 or 64+ down the road once they've completed testing/fixed any bugs with that many players.

I look forward to that "scalable map" thing they were talking about. I'd be happy with 32 players on a Halo map, but if PD0 scales the map based on the number of players, BRING ON THE 64+!!

Wouldn't it be great if you could override the map scaling? So set the map up for 32 players (or 64 later) then only have two people playing...man that game just would never end

Anyone ever played Halo 2 with 16 players on a small map? Capture the hill....hill doesn't move....man that was hectic! There was an orgy of death and destruction on the hill

im not big on the whole deathmatch modes to begin with but playing with 32-50 players online does seem appealing. i wonder how long after launch they get the patch for 50 player limit up.

Prison Map in the original Halo, ask Kage360 about the orgy of death in that one I used to administer, even with 5 or 6 people it was mayhem with JUST rockets and nades..hahahaha
