Subject: You shoot them over and over they DONT die they shoot you once and ...

Chime in everyone, are you having problems playing halo 2. Namely you shoot someone with 2 guns, grenades what ever. And they DONT die,then they turn around and shoot you once and your dead.I was playing swat magnums I shot one guy 10 times in the head and he shoots me once in the foot I`m dead. Xbox live says there is some kind of server problem. I`ve heard same problem from many other players since the new halo 2 update. Is it a Coincidence or a cheat or what I suspect, bungie has given unfair advantage to certain players who in general are level 14 and above. And if your able to level up that high it doesn`t do you any good...PLEASE POST IT HERE.

I never thought of that. I also think you answered yourself better than I could.

There's no way you could of been sure he shot you in the leg, unless, of course he told you. If he didn't die due to 10 head-shots then you most likely didn't shoot him in the head or you were experiencing some major lag

Yeah, if you looked at the way the host works then you would know. You can shoot someone in the head 5 times but they might not actually be there. They could be like a foot to your right and you wouldn't know it. Then actually all your shots missed even though they looked like they hit him. That's what it looks like to the host, they missed. But if the host actually sees someone get shot in the head 5 times and not die then there is cheating involved.
It's like lag. Even though it doesn't seem like your laggin you can be.

Haha I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. I nearly threw my Xbox out the window after a few Swat games I played before I quit Halo for good. Swat Magnums is seriously the worst thing ever. On host, it's amazing. Off-host, you don't stand a chance against host. Agh. I get angry just thinking about it. lol

Lmao... what? My account actually expired earlier last month. I was going to renew it, but I didn't want to bother renewing it because it costs like $50 or something. I actually don't even have time to get on anymore anyway. And college is starting soon, so I'll have even less time than before.

Yeah... banned... way to look like an idiot.

It's called lag. You didn't get host, so you're shots don't always connect.

Been there all too often...and what I dont get is that I suggested adding the ability to know who is host and how often people get host so that this type of game is less frustrating but no one seems to like the idea. Wouldn't you feel a LITTLE better knowing that your shots weren't counting because you didnt have host? And that the guy who beat you with one shot, did that because he gets host all the time?

Chillin' without a crush

Try reaching back behind your xbox on the left side (or on the right side if you have a 360).

Feel around until you locate the "Suck" knob.

Turn this down a little lower.

It seems you know more about sucking than anyone else here. Peter puffer

Swat magnums has a lot of problems. Sometimes I can fire two entire magazines of dual wielded magnum ammo right into someone's face only to get one-shotted when they fire. Magnums aren't accurate enough for swat...

im pretty sure its some sort of server lag

ive had problems l8ly with shooting when i hav a full green bar, i press r and about half a second l8er(which is alot in the heat of a battle) i shoot sometimes up to 2 seconds, another example is in snipers i missed a shot by a fair amount and i wasnt sweeping next thing you now a sniper medal pops up - WTF?

Tell me about it! I know I'm not as good as a lot of the players on live but I've had similar VERY frustrating incidents and only one or two where I've got a kill which I didn't deserve. I was very suspicious of cheating but server lag makes sense...
Halo 3 beta is even worse for both problems which is why I gave up on that one and switched to Halo 2 online to try and get some practice/training in before Halo 3 proper comes out.
Also with reference to the 'people' who make the twatty comments about those of us with - possibly - less skill than others and serious concerns about the fairness of online play; why do you feel the need to put us down rather then helping?

This happens to me every once in a while. I hate when you are using the BR, over long distance, and it looks like perfect headshots, but then you reload, then that guy gets you in a four shot. I also hate when you shooting someone in TS and their team mate comes up and kills you from behind. :(

I like how this thread went from talking about head shots not killing to puffing peters and smoking pole.

Why do people who have nothing to say about the subject at hand have to put their 2 cents in. Are they proving to themselves and others they are mental migets.
To those who are having these same problems thank you. And your comments seem to make sense. Because it could explain whats wrong here. It seems the hosts of these games who are assigned by the bungie servers. Have the lowest connection and have the highest ranking present thus the problem of lag becomes the real issue. Why should they have this unfair advantage over everyone else. I`m sure the modders for which all the other truly good players dislike would have problems with this also. Why spend all that time and money cheating when bungie is doing it for you. XBOX live says they know about this problem and are working on this. I`m not holding my breath. Please keep posting your comments, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS SUBJECT this is a pinhead free post. Thank you
