How much upload bandwidth needed for good HALO 2 game?

I know at first this sounds like a broad question, but under ideal circumstances, roughly how many people can be playing per/x amount of upload. Right now i'm getting 516k up and supposedly just ordered an upgrade.

this really depend on the location of the other players. if they're all from your USA - Louisiana location, then you probably get away with 16 players without lag.

But just say all around use, you can probably host about 8 players.

or you might be playing fine then someone comes in with just 128kb upload may cause your server to lag or whatever.

But again it's just a rough idea as this cannot be accurate.

256 - Arount 4 / 5 Players
512 - 8 at least 10 players
1024 - 16 players

So here's the anwser with your upload you can host around the 8 Till 10 Players Near Your Country

I used a bandwidth meter during a Halo 2 game to get an idea. As the number of players in the server increases, the amount of bandwidth per player increases. Try 80k/player as a starting point.
