Firstly I'm only gonna talk about Halo PC online, not xbox live. Halo online is quite possibly the best online multiplayer game I've ever played. The gameplay is (almost) perfectly balanced, the diversity of the maps and game types offers endless replayability. I've been a gamer for about 8 years now, and Halo is the only game that I've played almost every day since it's release. All the others have at some point lost their novelty value. For a lot of people, Halo online isn't just a distraction, or even a hobby. It's a lifestyle choice; come live it with us.

Yea come and join us, its really worth it to buy the game if you already haven't gotten it. The multiplayer also helped me develop fighting and shooting skills for the single player. (I first played multiplayer). Its hell lot of fun so one day go on online.

Heyyo,

Lol, I made some great contacts down in Cali through this game, once I go down there I'm gonna be a wingman for one of them cause he's a -blam!- playa, and I at least want the scraps. :)

I say that yes, HaloPC is great multiplayer, bought it, got broadband adsl a week or so later, and started to pwn online like crazy. I remember, the 1st time online I played oddball at Ratrace... and I got 2nd in kills... and 1 guy one cause he hid with the oddball the whole time and I had no idea what to do. =D

The gameplays great, but there's a few downsides, there's some warping caused by the physics, but it's hard to keep physics in sync, so after a while you get used to it. The weapon balance ain't the best, lots of people whore to stuff like rocketlaunchers and fuel rods, but I just camp their asses before they get them and it's all good. ;)

You can play the "Billy no mates off line game" just to see the maps wepons etc,then when you do go online with lovely broad band it will all make sence but of course you will die very quick...........it took me weeks to get any good ,well at least a bit better

Multiplayer is very different than single player. Once you get good enough to easily wade through the aliens and flood in SP, go online and you have to start all over (well, not really).

One tip: pistol, pistol, pistol. Go back and play single player trying to use only the human pistol. Head shots whenever possible. You will find the human pistol is the best overall weapon in Halo1. If you aren't used to the pistol when you finally go online, you will simply not do well until you get used to it.

Heyyo,

*Sighs* oh how the n00bs confuse warping physics with lag. :p

Buddy, yes, the netcode ain't perfect and there's lots of warping, BUT that's NOT lag. Lag is when in the bottom right corner the network connection error flickers or stays on, that's lag. One horrible peice of lag is banning lag when a player gets banned for tking too much. It's very annoying yes, but you just have to get used to it, cause bungie seems to be more focused on these so caled "security leaks" than fixing up the actual netcode.. Sure I get booted from games, but I can easily rejoin them, nothin' to cry over.
