Last time I checked, there were over 2000 people playing the demo alone.

Yeah, but I must warn you that the networking or whatever for that game is pretty terrible.

Worst netcode ever. It essentially breaks the online experience.

According to Xfire, over 6300 people play per day, so you can expect anywhere around 9000 people playing it. But from what I've heard, the online is terrible.

Yes, in matter of fact me and some friends were playing Halo custom edition in school today because we were bored.

Netcode! There we go, that's the word I was searching for, haha. But I agree, it really does break it. I mean, I was a console gamer for while and played tons of Halo 1 and 2 before getting into PC gaming a couple of years ago, but since I never had Xbox Live, I decided to buy Halo for the PC so I could experience its multiplayer on a much grander scale. But after I discovered that if you want to shoot someone, you have to lead them by a good 2 feet while aiming, I pretty much just moved on to CS:S.

Connection is only half of it. I was playing LAN with my brother and it was still pretty damn laggy. We crashed warthogs into eachother, spun into the air, and all of a sudden we both re-appear on the ground as if nothing ever happened.
