O.P. Halo 3 to support 50 person multiplayer
A new pack of Halo 3 rumors is spreading on the net today. Here’s a run down of what a friend of an uncle of a Bungie employee is reporting (Yeah, it’s that reliable):

1) It will have a darker and more gritty story than the previous games.

2) They’re attempting to maintain an online cooperative component for the campaign supporting more than two players at once.

3) It has a lot of cinematics planned for it. The opening scenes apparently occur thousands of years before the timeline of the original Halo: Combat Evolved’s story.

4) It will have a multiplayer mode which pits players against bots in scenarios that are directly connected to the story of the game.

5) They’re attempting to implement both a map editor and a movie maker, which would allow players to send and receive their maps/movies through Xbox Live. This would apparently be on a separate disc, and they have an entire team working just on these two projects.

6) Zanzibar, Sidewinder and Hang Em High are said to return to the multiplayer mode, completely reworked. Zanzibar will be mangled and torn apart as though after the battle, the sky will be dark red. Sidewinder will have four legs instead of just two, with bases at each end. Hang Em High will have a massive tree at its center and the structure will be deteriorated.

7) They want to support more than fifty players on Xbox Live for certain maps.

A lot of those features were PLANNED for Halo 2.

Either way - Bungie better not mess up Halo 3.

It sounds awesome.  I like the idea of the mulitplayer mode where you fight bots and the levels are tied to the story line.  I also like the idea of more than two player cooperative.  I can't wait,  just don't screw it up bungie....
