ALOT OF US WHO PLAY IN EUROPE ARE GETTING ALOT OF BULLET LAG WHEN SHOOTING AMERICAN PLAYERS OR CLANS IT TAKES TWICE AS MUCH EFFORT TO PUT THEM DOWN AND WE ARE ALL GETTING PISSED OF WITH THIS DISADVANTAGE.
WETHER IT IS YOUR SERVERS OR LACK OF EUROPEAN ONES. THE BEST WAY WOULD BE HAVING AN AMERICAN MATCHMADE GAME AND A EUROPEAN ONE.
OR AT LEAST LOOK INTO THIS BUNGIE BECAUSE IT IS ANNOYING ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOUR GAME BUT ARE GETTING TIRED OF THIS.

The irony is that I'm an American and some of the best Team Skirmishes I've played were when I was paired with all Brits.

Bummer about the lag but for the record (from this side of the pond) you guys make brilliant teammates.

Persevere!

Id be fine with it, doesnt bother me too musch personally though if i play with a different country. The only beef i have with playing another country is, say your plaing someone who only speaks french with some other french friends. Teamwork is absolutely integral in Halo2, and playing someone who speaks a different language just really blows. An option to play against peeps who only speak a certain language would be cool, but im not expecting one to appear, and its not very often, so i dont really care in the long run. What i do care about is the way you wrote your post. I dont know if your keyboards busted or if your just really angry, but theres no need to write in all caps, it offends alot of people. Its interprited as yelling at everyone, and while you may be upset you should really tone it down.

Sadly teh same can't be said about many of the US players. Members of my clan have been taunted with americans saying "are you black? Get off if your black" and equally for a jew. These people have been kicked and feedback left, but it's ALWAYS americans that spoil it. There's many Americans that are good decent people, but you also seem to have too many idiots out to spoil it for everyone. Given the choice I'd prefer to just play Europeans, it's less agro, and no-one gets victimised.

I am an American and would like the same. To me, it seems that the 'spoilers' are usually you guys. Although, like you said about us, there are decent beings over there I suppose, but mainly when I hear a british accent or someone whose second language is english, they are almost always racist and ignorant. I hear constant ranting like that of a 13 year old immature boy. Oh, wait. Maybe thats it. The majority of Live players are teenagers.

Lutzie- Don't lump us all into a category please. Try to annalyze the situation here. It is the same across the board, black, white, us, brit, french, german, spanish. Older, wiser, open-minded players are the minority. You need a friends list with these types, and I suggest you don't discriminate against someone b/c of their national creed. That in itself is the type of attitude you have proclaimed to dislike.

Peace to the world and love to all.

In the last three days I've heard an amazing number of American kids say "that was -blam!-." Halo 2 is going to become a small subculture - the phrase became rampant on sunday. People who've never met heard it once then repeated it and it caught fire. Look for this phrase from the highest scorer on the winning team.

I'd like to believe that as you move into higher rankings that these idiots will be left behind. Though the more impresive idiots are probably near the top of the leaderboard.

I am by no means doing this, but considering that out of the few games we've played outside of interclan stuff there's already 14 complaints, all against American players, it's not discriminatory, it's evidence. It's all being reported mind, so hopefully these people will be kicked, and we can go back to playing each other in good fashion.

I've also had a brit do the same. So we simply all ganged up on him and tore him apart. He couldn't spawn for more than 3 seconds before dying. Heh.

Wait on this isn't about race creed nationality or colour it's about bullet lag and lot's of it ofcourse your going to have idiot's no matter what country . but i just want to see some choices concerning the servers either american or european. i mean look at any game in the past if you were european holding a room and americans came in obviously alot of the times the movement as in lag isn't visible or it sometimes usually is really bad . but bullet lag is very evident when you hit people continuosly and they don't drop.

I'll be on my own side.

i would also like to see a choice between servers. British people are great teammates most of the time,(unless theyre violently anti American) but the lag is incredible,especially for me,because im in California

The use of the communication technology, that is, the ability to connect people across oceans in competetive game and also to be able to use this as a means to interact with others from different backgrounds is of an importance that should not be disregarded.

There is a very special thing going on on xbox live. People connecting that otherwise would be unable to ever meet. You are able to make friends with others from countries hudreds or thousands of miles away.

If your complaint to that the servers are bogged down, I implore you, not to ask to give a choice to separate us, but make the system work so we can play together lag free.

I enjoy meeting other people and learning of their different culture. This promotes understanding. To not take advantage of the opportunity that was only possible until now would be a historical set back.

Let us play together, as friends, lag free.
