I have noticed that Halo 1 PC has so much lag in multiplayer and campaign. Halo 1 is awsome, but its lag is not. Can there be an update or no for this. Is it just me or is it the way the PC is. Maybe if we can get enough posts there can be something done about this. Halo 1 PC lag is bad. Just hope it's not like this for the Halo 2 vista.

It doesn't lag in single player. That drop in frame rate is because you have your settings too high. And multiplayer is horrible. Remember to lead every shot.

In high definition baby!

I think Halo 1 for the PC is one of the worst laggiest game. The netcode is very bad like when you shoot them directly and they don't die.

Guys, learn to differentiate between lag and the netcode. "Lag" is when your ping is equivalent to 1300 milliseconds and you're warping from one side of the map to another. The netcode is what forces you to lead your shots, not bad latency. Also, there's a difference between low framerate and lag. Don't confuse these.

Yes, Halo PC has one of the worst netcodes I've ever seen in an online shooter, but it's not impossible to play. It's actually rather more consistent than many games I've played, and you need skill if you want to get good at it.

The lag is horrible, but there are people (such as myself) that love it. But then again playing alot of CSS and other 'normal' games is killing my appreciation for it.

Playing Halo PC is a godsend for me. Leading has taught me how to compensate for latency in not just Halo, but Halo 2 and other games. And in those 'normal' games that don't require you to lead like you do in Halo, I tend to dominate because I'm so used to leading--for me, it's almost like I'm playing on my own host connection.

I think Lag sucks and ruins games. Is there another way like Xbox Live to take this out, It's so annoying when your trying to get into a vehicle and you can't because it is moving with the lag.

Sigh, you must be one of those whiners who all of a sudden attacks the 1st-3rd place winners accusing them of anything possible, then leaving with a tantrum...

Learn to lead dude. Like Kim said, unlike other games you are used to playing, it actually takes skill to be good in HPC.

Ok so in Halo 2 I am a legit 41 out of 50 we can go 1v1 if you are not scared. Not only that, but second of all I get pissed if you ever talk to me like that. I made this to try to help stupid people like you who say stuff like that when you never seen me play and have NO statistics of me. I could probaly beat you at any Halo with my eyes closed ok. Bye.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Considering they finally restored the 8 seconds of my life by removing the "check for updates" intro, I believe we can finally close the door on the possibility of anymore updates for Halo PC ever. :)

...and I also just got "banned" from black dragon clan server for nutin...

Lol. 41 out of 50? I'm so freakin' scared. Stop acting like a schoolyard punk, thinking that challenging someone for being intimidated makes you "cool".
And Halo2? Nah, I don't play games that takes no skill. Oh wait! I never even bothered getting either versions. Boo-freakin' hoo. 41 out of 50, ey? ahemloserahem

And staticx, you always seem to be there when someone insults me or anyone else you just randomly seem to hate, to back him up. I have no idea why you never showed up in your own thread ("h2v isn't a 'bad' port" ring a bell to you?) when nearly everyone disagreed with you. I even told you to stop defending such a crappy game with all your might, but when this joker decides to think he's over 13 by challenging me to some match, you back him up? Real -blam!-ing smart of you.

No, I'm not making the end of you. I am a simple man. If I would do that I wouldn't call you "lagger", I would lead and shoot you with a pistol (Halo), or I would lead and shoot you with an energy sword (Halo 2). Oh wait did I say shoot you with an energy sword? My bad, I meant pwn you with a plasma pistol. ; P

Let's see now, for shooters, I own (but not necessarily play frequently anymore) Gears of War, Halo 2, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Half-Life, Doom, a bunch of other good stuff, etc.

Again, don't confuse the netcode with lag. All online games will have you experiencing lag, there's nothing you can do about it with today's technology. Xbox games over Live only seem to be less laggy because having a broadband connection is a requirement in order to use Xbox Live (unless some 56Ker ends up getting past that prerequisite), and they don't have the same netcode Halo PC has. Nobody can do anything to change it, I'm afraid.

Also, the lag and the netcode can be bad, but it's not unbearable. It's quite playable to me, and quite consistent. I've experienced much less BS moments in Halo PC than I have in most online shooters. You get used to it, and you get better.

It's alright--the campaign's a bit uninspired, but online multiplayer is much better than Call of Duty 2's (assuming we're talking about the 360 versions, because COD2 PC > COD3 > COD2 360).
