i don't get it like jesus can't the creaters just know from the beginning theres gonna be lagg and fix it? no it was not possible till -blam!- halo 2 came out i think all creaters should do a recall on all online games and fix the lagg problem or i will be forced to shoot this baby animal good day and adoooo

Games before Halo 2 had very little lag. Besides, lag isn't something you can "fix". Lag is the result of hundreds of thousands of players downloading game information at the same time.

but man is it truly that hard to make a game without lag? i'm sure its not that hard just hard to do and game developers are just gettin lazy these days and are just tryin to make the games come out early just to make better sales i'm sure if they put more work into games these days future games should have no problems for example halo 2 took a long time, and is there any lagg? no i have not seen any yet the answer is quality not quantity.

If it's so easy to make a game without lag, make a mmo without any lag at all, and I'll send you a shiny nickel.

true that man...games arent made just like that.. it takes time and in halo 2's case it took a long time but i think the finished copy of the game was worth the wait..bungie is smart like that they dont just pop out games left and right that all suck... they take their time and make 1 game that rips everything else to pieces....

how come it took so long for a game that goes online to finally have no lag


The same time it took people to realize that AOL causes high latency.
