You do know that HTC generates revenue by getting people to subscribe to the main arena... right? And that by making H2H arenas more appealing they could impact that revenue source?
I would like to see a 16 player h2h feature for paying subscribers only.
I don't that would really threaten the MA, but it would provide a nice added value feature to incourage people to suscribe.
I don't "think" it would be any additional bandwidth for HTC, because I believe the H2H games are running peer2peer.
16 players is just small enough for someone to host on a good machine with a fat pipe, but just big enough to actually set up private squad vs. squad matches.
Oh...and I'd also like to be able to password protect the session so while you're waiting for everyone to arrive for the match, you don't have a constant stream of idiots you have to boot because they refuse to pay attention to the "PRIVATE" disclaimer on you room description.
