Why is it that the 360 is touted as the biggest multiplayer system yet the most it can hold on a game is 24 on BF2MC??? I mean the original Xbox could hold more than that. Hell, even the PS2 did.Whats the matter with this picture? I mean when UT3 comes out, I'm gonna want some major battles of like 32 people. When can we expect to see more people(or will we)?

BF2MC???????            Battle Front 2 Marine Commander????

Well, perfect dark can hold 32 ppl. Huxley is a PC/360 exclusive that can hold dozens upon dozens of people at the same time. By the way, you think the more  ppl the better, but really, it creates more room for lag, cheaters, and you not getting the spotlight.

The magic number for multiplayer is 8-16 ppl.

I tend to like smaller games anyway. Like mark said, 8-16 is perfect. 64 player frag fests are just to crazy for me.

.... and you not getting the spotlight. Mark2099
God forbid... Ya this is one of my gripes to. I just hope Bad Company gets up to snuff with 64 players. Battlefield just isn't the same with only 24. Also for being a "multiplayer system" it sure disappoints if you want to play with friends on the same system.

Are you serious about BF2MC?  I hope not, sarcasm doesn't translate well through written text.

Anyway, like you said games like Huxley will have rooms of over 100 people blasting each other.  I like rooms of about 10-12 people, on Rainbow Six I rarely play with 14-16 people.

Does anybody remember Joint Ops? That was a fun game with 100+ players at once. I doubt any single xbox could host that game though.

So what does it matter about how many people if its at least 12 or more? How many dang people do some of you want on a map?

Its all depends on how well the devs implement it. I think geras would work well if 20+ people in it. The topic creator is right though, bhd had 64 people on it i believe and that was fun. Games like resistance have 40 people per server and its great. Than you got games that suck with alot of people, i think games like unreal wont be as fun with more than 16.
