Book says MP limit is 4 players

OK, I'm one of those weirdos that reads the manual before he starts playing.

In the manual it said that the maximum number of multiplayers was 4. Is this true? Anyone try it yet?

Though you can have up to 8 human players in a multiplayer game, 4 players is the maximum that Activision will support.
