The ungodly lag that is taking place on Halo 2.

There was such bad lag in a match that after about 7 min of game play the match lagged so bad that all 16 people playing were put back into match making.

Also is anyone else having trouble joining parties now or is that just my group of friends.

Look at the matches your in you will notice an ass load of blue screen and people dropping.

It even takes about 20 seconds for the map to load at the start.

Also its not just Halo lagging its Bungie.net If you watch your games being updated maybe 2-3 outta ten do not show up for take aleast 20 min after the match to be shown.

Also does anyone else feel there should be more then being booted as a penalty for betraying. Cause obviously its not stopping it. there should be atleast a hour suspension for over 10 betrayals

I know Halo 2 is old but this -blam!- is -blam!- ridiculous its like bungie now supports this -blam!- casue nothing is being done about it. Id rather Halo 3 take an extra month then have to deal with this -blam!- in halo 3

First off, it would cause more problems to fix the booting and the lag then would be worth to have lag free games.
But lets assume that they could magically fix all those problems. So, your in a team rockets game, you know how many betrayals there are going to be? so yeah, most people get the odd betrayal in a game, some two. So if you play 5-6 games in a night, your banned til tomorrow. Which means people are going to have to find something other to do in that hour, so they buy another game. Which means that they won't have as much money for Live/Halo 3, which means bungie loses money.
Now they don't want that, do they?


How does one hour make it tomorrow and idk if you played when bungie first had rocket matches but they used to be where betrayals didnt count also I dont think ive seen anyone kill 5 of their team mates in a rocket match without meaning to kill them. idk what kind of -blam!-y people you play with also i didnt mean 10 a day i meant 10 a game

I think moders glitchers and betrayers casue more people to not want to play halo then being booted from a mtach. cause you know what if suspensions really pissed people off that much then why do people keep doing it.

Why do I have the feeling your one of those kids who finds it funny to kill themselves in a match so the team loses

The game isn't that laggy for me. A couple solutions I'd suggest... make sure your internet doesn't suck, and also try playing 4v4... it actually is more fun when you get into it and even though some people deny it, it does lagg a lot less than 8v8.

Also 8v8 games tend to have a lot of quitters, and when a lot of people quit a game at different times it does make the game take longer to show up on bungie.net.

its actually the 2v2 and the 4v4 that in my opinion have the people that try to kill themselves more often.

and even in team slayer it took me and my group of 4 (counting me) about 4 min to find 4 more players.

I just got through playing quite a few matches in matchmaking with a friend, and I never have any lag problems, but just a few quitters here and there... nothing big... also found the matches fairly fast...

Might want to check your internet connection, just in case it's just you lagging...

Also, I never had anyone kill theirselves in a game for quite some time, now... might just be bad luck that you're getting them...

I havn't seen much in the way of deranking either, except 2 games I was in... one wasn't my teammates deranking so much as hating the gametype (1 Flag CTF Ascension). They basically had fun jumping over the edge and shooting eachother so the other team could win quickly and get us to the next game...

The other game was Team Slayer-Elongation... where my team scored a total of 73 kills, while the other team only managed 43... unfortunately our teammate managed 30 suicides before beeing booted so we lost anyway. Oh, and if you're wondering why that made us lose and not tie, its because one of our teammates managed to get the guy to betray him 3 times to boot him... course that also subtracted 3 from our score.

Anyway yeah... I belive your problem is lag and just maybe the 16 player games you mentioned... more likely strait up lagg.

Lag cant be helped in most casses, alot of it might be the distance between you and the person who is host.

What i have to deal with is party members coming in and betraying each other so that no one is booted. its a real pain in the ass whens slayer casue then you have to put on severe handycap and run into the fight so one kills you so you can boot them.

The matches that lag for me are Hardcore Team Traning and BTB not shocked about the last but didnt think the other 2 would
