I've been starting to hate halo 2 MM. why? lag, look at this game , i was on fire, and then i lag out, and then i derank and people think i quit. and speak of the devil, i just tried another game, and lo and behold, i lag out again. sometimes its a full lag out where the screen comes up and says you are disconnected from xbox live, and sometimes it says everyone quits.... if you look at most of my games, its lag out games, or really laggy games.... its horrible, and i have no idea what to do about it....
also, if you look at the game i posted, it says i got a classified kill.... i know what it is, it was an energy core, but why would the call it classified?You should not blame Halo 2 Matchmaking for your problem, because the issue is most likely related to your connection and internet service provider. A good start would be to reset your modem and/or router before you sign into Xbox Live, which will make sure that you have received all updates limiting you to any "bug" issues. Next, make sure that your Windows Fire Wall is set to medium or low when playing Halo 2 to allow better connection. I can tell that when you are host, the connection is balanced, but when you are not you have trouble adapting to the other users' connection. Having your firewall on high will cause your computer to prevent or prolong messages being sent from your console to the host's console, causing "lag" and sometimes results in being disconnected. Refer to this thread here to answer common questions about servers.
If the problem persists it is not because of a "bug" or firewall problem, but rather an issue with your console internally or your internet service provider. You may attempt to repair your internet connection here, but I highly recommend contacting your service provider if it continues or contacting the Xbox Live Technical Support Team here. If you have an inquiry about connecting properly to Xbox Live, which i am sure that is not the case, but regardless you may visit this link here.
