Well, maybe your connection sucks, seeing as all my games are fine.

Don't blame Bungie for your bad connection/network setup.

The 2 best Visa Credit Card jokes.
Halo 2- 55$
Xbox 360- 400$
Xbox Live- 45$

No Scoping a kid in the face who had the sword and hearing his squeeky voice go WHAT THE----as his voice gets cut out.

Dude, dont blame Bungie I bet your conncetion sucks. So the reason it seems ok when you get host is that everyone is lagging just as bad as you so it seems normal.

  • 06.18.2007 1:03 PM PDT

Take me 1v1 and ill pooooop on you

Kid your so dumb wow!!!!!

1) You Probly have DSL

2) You are running a program that uses Upload Speed (Like Limewire)

3) Someone else is using the same connection in your House and is Fu***** it up.

4) Pull out all Your Modem and if you have a router that too. You probaly have to recycle your internet DA!

5) Its not bungies fault stupid

you should turn off your computer when you play, that reduces lag for me

Lazy ass? Pardon me, but I believe it was Bungie's lazy ass that fixed the bridging/modding problem and crippled most of the cheating.

You are encountering a connection issue. To improve your connection when playing in a game that you are not host, make sure that your Windows Firewall is set to medium or low to allow more trust to that specific server. If you are having trouble or "latency" when you are host I suggest resetting your modem and/or router before signing into Xbox Live. This may fix the issue, but if it does not and the problem persists you should contact your internet service provider and/or the Xbox Live Technical Support Team here.

You know, unless bungie decides to make the internet free, there's really nothing they can do to solve your problem.

Alright, first of all, for multiplayer gaming, unless you have T1 or better, most of the time DSL is the better broadband connection. That is because the up speeds are more steady with a DSL connection than with cable. You're right about the programs, and other people using that same connection, but pulling out your modem and router will do no good, seeing as how your modem is there for a reason anyway.

As to the guy who mentioned the 2004 vs. 2007 server software, what exactly are you implying by that? I know you're on my friends list but I can't remember how you spell your name correctly. Its a known fact that if they're running anything through a windows server, its good to have a version a few years back, because its more stable, because they have had more time to put out updates for said servers. Plus, why would it improve your connection? I work in the IT field, and all of our newest Windows server OS machines run slower than the ones with the more dated software, even though they've got the same specs.

But anyway, its not Bungie's fault. Is this the only FPS you've played online? Because if it is you probably wouldn't understand that every online game has lag issues, but in an FPS it seems to matter more because of the way it is played.

Um, I'm not sure what you think you might know about Halo 2's matchmaking, but there are definitely no servers involved in the hosting of matches. The only time servers enter the mix is during the data collection process that allows players to view their stats online.

If you experience incredible lag on everyone's host, then there is likely a problem with your connection. I'd offer to help you troubleshoot, but I'm not too savvy on stuff like this. If you want some basic tips, I can give you some general ones:

- If you have a wireless network, try putting your wireless router closer to the primary router, and avoid any obstacles such as walls in between.
- If you have a wireless network, try plugging your Xbox directly into the modem via ethernet cable. This creates a much more consistent connection.
- Whichever setup you have, wireless or cabled, make sure that your modem is in a place where it will have proper ventilation and will not overheat.

Anyway, hope that this helps a bit.

Just wondering if anyone knows why for the last month i have been gettting host legit (After upgrading my internet) and yet around 2 days ago, when the matchmaking of halo 2 was stuffing up for just about everyone, i have been unable to get host in 1 game. This isnt just it, i would get matched up with players in matchmaking it would advance to 3, then just before '4', whne the matched players disappear and before '4' comes up, i get thrown back to 1... this would happen at least 5-7 times before i got to 4, and when i eventually get a game, i would not get host. It seems as if the games i get thrown back to 1 in i could be getting host and its as if im "not being allowed to get host" somehow. There are even some rumors of a host-ban... ALSO i know for a fact that i would be getting negitive feedback and i swear to god i DO NOT STANDBY FOR HOST I SIMPLY GET IT LEGIT!!!!!! it just seems that certain people claim i am cheating or standbying so im sure i got feedback from these guys. (everyonje knows its just an excuse....) anywho, any ideas????

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Benjamin Franklin

when I used by regular XBOX, every one of my games were laggy and I rarely got host. I never had a full bar and was often in the yellow and sometimes red. Then I bought my 360 about a year and a half ago and I noticed right away that my connection was much better. I almost always have a full bar and get host fairly regularly. I had forgotton about this fact until recently when my 360 took a cr@p and I had to pull out my trusty XBOX. Right away I found myself lagging again. It's like night and day so I know it has something to do with the systems. Has anybody else noticed this?
