I am a big fan of counter strike and battlfield 2 on pc ... will it ever be possible to have tht massive multiplayer on the 360??? i m talking 64 player in one round not 4 on 4 like halo... becoz i played those games on the pc i really miss tht on the 360 and dont fully enjoy myself...does msn allowing private servers on the 360 (dedicated servers) solve this and will it ever happen

As connections become faster i would imagine they'll be able to up the numbers,

The most i played with in 1 game was about 24 on COD3

well its already possible the only way 64 players is even possible is with dedicated servers isnt it. having person host would create unplayable lag but yeah dont some 360 games have dedicated servers. anyway it has to be possible someway

Its all possible, it just depends if the developer wishes to put it. But honestly..I hate games over 14-16 players.

There needs to be dedicated servers, hosts in games like Gears of War and Halo 2 have too big an advantage.

more doesnt equal to fun. 16 is the max number, anything over that is just stupid and chaotic. PDZ has 32 people, and its really annoying. spawn, shoot, get a kill if your lucky, then die. no teamwork no communication no strategy

host in halo 2 can control a game if the player with it has decent accuracy i feel in games like halo 3 independant servers should be used

Huxley is supposed to have matches with teams and I thought they were stating numbers with around 100 people. That game probably won't be released for awhile though and it's an MMO so... :?

Dedicated servers is the way to go for that amount of players. Hell, dedicated servers would be the perfect answer to Host Advantage. One of the things I loved about BF2.

That is the developer's fault and the advantage could have been there without dedicated servers (if they can get no host adv in CoD2 why not in Gears?).

I think there should be Dedicated servers for games with anything +16 (except CoD4 works with 18 max). PDZ would have been better and probably would still have a better community if it had dedicated servers. I don't know if i played in anymore than 2 - 32 player matches on that game and that was because not enough people could host over 24 let alone 16.

One new game you may want to look at is Front Lines: Fuels of Wars. It is supposed to have atleast 32 online or something. Now if it doesn't have dedicated servers i would probably pass on it if i were you.

Any more than 30 or so and it becomes chaos, like Alterac Valley in WoW.
