16 Player lobbies is so old now, is it time for a bigger lobby, games like pubg and Fortnight have way more players in a game then halo have atm, a Custom game lobby needs to be able to hold at least dubbed by now.

To be honest, games like Fortnite and PUBG are not to be taken as role models. They’re games that operate on that “fad” basis, they’ll burn out, I give them 3 months. PUBG is burning out as we speak.
And even with that aside, what you’re asking for is completely incompatible with Halo’s smaller and more competitive map design.

the sandbox allows for quite big maps, not saying its time for the 4x4 or 8x8 to go, but to let more players join in on lobby, some of the bigger maps used in stuff like clan raids have room for way more players then we see today, 343 can’t hide behind the old xbox is limiting the amount of players they have used before.
Honestly I can agree with the OP here I think it would be awesome to have some sort of open world battle royale mode in addition to the classic Halo gametypes we already have. Not saying it will work out but it would be pretty sweet to try out.

So you’re asking them to create a playlist of some sort that has that kind of player size? The population will never accommodate that kind of playlist. People are having a hard time getting Warzone games with 24 players, this kind of lobby size will be virtually impossible.

Maybe as a Warzone variant, but still won’t change that it’s still a PUBG clone. Pretty sure 343 would get even more -Yoink- from the Bungie fanboys and Halo purists than usual. Me and a lot of other players are already sick of hate-milkers like LNG and Act Man as it is, the last thing we need is his legion attacking the game again…

They can attack all they want IMO it doesn’t bother me. So many games copy each other now a days it doesn’t really make the slightest difference. If it everything functioned correctly and it was a blast I wouldn’t care if it was a clone of another games idea because it is still Halo.

True, true. But another attack won’t help the population at all. We need a healthy population for this to work, and we’re looking anorexic enough as is.

Yeah lol it is getting pretty bad when I play against or with alot of familiar gamertags. I know it is the big thing to be a battle royal game and maybe it will die off soon but who knows if it doesn’t I think a gamemode like that could attract a large and completely new fan base.
I’m not crazy about the idea of Halo 6 mimicking what’s trendy right now. Sure, PUBG and Fortnite are really popular now, but what about 2 or 3 years from now? Halo should differentiate itself from other games. Halo’s specialty is 4v4 arena and large scale team games (BTB, Warzone). I’d prefer 343 dedicated their resources to working out the campaign story and polishing arena and Warzone (assuming it’s in Halo 6) instead of spending thousands of hours on a mode which could be a passing fad.
let me make it clear i don’t want a pubg/fortnigth clone mode , i just want to be able to run bigger lobby in Custom games , it shud be as simple as adjusting the limit in the code of the game
If they go with bigger lobbies they will have to restrict fireteam/squad size. Can you imagine BF4 with 32 coordinating players lol. Even 12 coordinating against 12 randoms doesn’t work. Limit squads to 5-6 and it might work ok.

They did that in Warzone for a while (limited to 6-man squads) and it didn’t work. So basically having any kind of coordination in the game between more than 2 players on a squad versus randoms makes people unhappy with the game.
