Is it possible to be bugged to where you do less damage/take more damage? Even my brother has noticed that we can hit people with grenades(get within like 3 feet) and not kill them even after they've been hit by other weapons, while we get killed when a grenade is around 10 feet away(these are just my figures, to give an example) and have about 90% shields. We also have issues with the 'BR', where we know we get anywhere from 5-7 headshots and not kill them, while we have been killed in 3(none of these people have overshields.) We are new to XBox live, (been playing for around 4 days), however we have been playing Halo for quiet a while.
Other issues we have include point blank shots with the shot gun and multiple other things.


So, is there something wrong, or do we just need more practice?



Thank You

That's the problem with internet gaming, stuff like this happens. It could be a wide variety of things, but it's all connection-based. Some people have an easier time of it than others. It's because of your data not quite getting to it's destination as quickly or completely as it needs to every time. This can be caused by anything including a low-bandwidth connection your end, congestion in or around your area, a long distance between you and the player who is hosting the game, or any kind of mishaps in between.

That makes a lot of sense. I have DSL, and I'm in a pretty unpopulated area, but we do get a lot of connection errors. Running 2 computers and a 360 out of the same DSL modem probably doesn't help though :(

Could it be anything other than lag? In games like Team Snipers, I have absolutely no problems, everything works fine. The only problems I'm really noticing that couldn't be blamed on myself for having bad aim, are the grenades. I basically have to hit people dead to kill them, I'll throw multiple grenades that get very close without a kill, while an enemy player can kill me from just 3/4 shields with a grenade that should barely even scratch me(I play a lot with friends and family at my house, and know a lot about the distances a grenade can hit you.) I've also shot three times or more with a shot gun from around 5 feet with absolutely no results, but have been killed by 2 shots from around 7-8 feet. The last problem I have would be the melees, even after hitting the person multiple times with a smg or BR it takes me 2-3 melees to kill them.

None of these people have overshields on, and I'm not accusing anyone of cheating, because then everyone I played against would have been cheating lol. I'm not the only one that notices it though, me my brother and his friends all joke around about how we are so easy to kill with grenades and how sometimes we are sniped through rocks(which I'm sure is because of lag.)

It wouldnt be anything related to me using the Free 1 month of Gold that comes with 360, or being new to Halo Online?

Well, the grenade damage is inversely proportioned to your skill level.

I've started doing that with snipers, works nicely lol.
So, lag could make it seem on my screen that the grenade was no where near me, when actually I was right next to it, just not on my screen?

It is not bugs it is a lag. Bugs can happen over and over again.

How it works is that the host is playing the game in REAL TIME, while all the other people connected to host are playing the game a bunch of milliseconds later (or just seconds later if the host is that bad). This is really noticeable when you are trying to snipe someone across the map on Coagulation.
