The Xbox game allows 16 players on 4 machines (4 split screen players each). The native builds raise both limits to 128, keeping 4 players per machine, and leave the byte-matching build unchanged: every change is under HALO_LINUX (the MSVC objects compare identical). - Limits: every local copy of the player and machine limits, and the bare 4s and 16s that stood for them, follow halo_port_limits.h. The player data array, the machine-to-player table (and its reset) and the per-tick update arrays grow with them. - Records: the copies of struct network_game agree on the larger layout and check it against halo_port_limits.h; maximum_player_count becomes a byte (128 does not fit a signed char); network_player_is_valid checks the machine against the machine limit, not the split screen one; a machine's input carries MAXIMUM_LOCAL_PLAYERS actions (16/4 would have become 128/128). - Protocol: a message holds at most 4095 bytes (its header has a 12-bit length), so the 13 KB game settings record is sent in 3.5 KB pieces that clients reassemble; the per-tick update of 128 players (3,857 bytes) fits. Buffers and the packet codec's limits grow to match, and the game search uses protocol version 2 so these builds and the Xbox game never see each other's games. - Connections: the host accepts a client connection per machine (the split screen count stood in for it), FD_SETSIZE is 256, stream writes send all of a message or drop a peer that stops reading instead of corrupting the stream, and the input and update queues are larger. - Host: lobby changes are sent at most every 250 ms instead of on every change (a full lobby would otherwise send ~650 MB), in-game joins wait in a queue instead of being dropped, the random name and colour pickers stop looping forever once names or colours run out, machines get 60 s to load a map, and the debug dump lists only the slots in use (128 empty slots took seconds to log).
