depends on the game, 8 players suit gears so its fine, same cant be said for halo 3, halo 3 would suck with 8 players just like gears would suck with 16 players, cod united offi=esnive sucks with both 16 and 8 players but is awesome with 24+ players...so it depends on game
Completely depends on the game. RTS - you can have a good game with 2 players. FPS you need at least 3 or 4 players for deathmatch, 8 min for a good team game (although I am sure there are exceptions to this). It all depends on the game and how it is designed.
I prefer smaller (8-10 people) games with teams that communicate and work together, but there is nothing wrong with a huge free for all everyonce in a while.
None are inherently better, its really just what you prefer to play.
It really depends on the game. 4 vs 4 team slayers work great in Halo 3. 8 vs 8 Socom 2 battles were better then 16vs 16 Socom 3 battles. RFoM was fun, but 20 vs 20 didn't work well in objective games. In Warhawk larger amounts are better.
whats the best amount of people for the most enjoyable online game. does more really=better or does more=confusion.

It all depends on the games. Some games are just horrible with 64 players for eg Call of Duty 2 while some are great like Battlefield. Too many players turns into a mindless frag fest but games like Battlefield work well since you are divided into squads and you can only communicate with squad members. How can you effectively communicate with 31 players or work as a team without squads?
Games like UT work a lot better with smaller teams also.
just fire blindly and ull get a kill somehow with that amount of players lolmingo123
it's a tactical game, you lay down in trenches more, it aint bunny hopping like in Halo or CSS
+ it's 2 shots will kill you
and since the game has day/night cyclus, you can use the night as your advantage ( althrough your tracers will be spotted by people with nightvision very quick)
It really depends on what type of game you are playing.RFoM, Warhawk are fun at 32. Halo IS the most fun at 16 not 8. The BF series is really fun at 64. Huxley looks like it could really be fun with 200 (i will wait and see but I am really hyped).
Depends on the map size and style of game. Warhawk rocks at 32 players on huge maps, whereas I prefer to play resistance with 8-20 ppl depending on the map, but it does 40 player team games well.

I never played a game with 64 people in it...let alone 128!! When I play Warhawk and we reach 32 players...it's crazy!! I would love to see a game with 128players blasting each other away!!
I've always enjoyed the 16 people you cram into halo 2/3 games. However, looking back I also enjoyed 32 person matches on CS: Source. So, I'll just say that as long as the map is big enough...The more the merrier!

If the map is large enough and the game built for it, then it is a blast. If it isn't, then it is chaos.
For UT games, I never join servers with more that 10 players in DM and TDM. Sweet spot for TDM is 4v4 imo.nappy65_basic
Same here. UT gets rediculous with too many players jumping around shooting. Call Of Duty 2 was also rediculous with 64 players especially since the maps were not that big so it became a grenage frag fest.
it depends on the game...for BF and all its clones (warhawk, Battlefront, joint ops) more is deffinetly a lot better....especially with the squad functions in BF2 that still let you use teamwork, but on a massive, scale.

Most people play 4v4 on halo3. BTB isn't even ranked.
it all depends on the game, battlefield is awesome online because of how many ppl are agains each other socom is 16v16 and it works great rainbow six is 7v7 and thats perfect because its more squad based and then RTS are cool when you have 1v1v1v1
Well the map has to be big enough to support those players, but generally I like lots of players on big maps, makes it really have that war feeling and adds more variety imo. Plus the chances of you getting owned by the same person repeatedly which I hate decreases.
