alright ive been playing for alittle while now. when i 1st got on XBL all my friends were already 20's and 30's soo playing with them prooved difficult for awhile. I was a 25 b4 the ranks reset and now im a 22 and i feel like im having such a problem latly with out BRing ppl. i feel like ppl are getting pefect 1.2.3.4 head shots on me with the BR. Even if i have my reticle on them first, fire first and the dot in the redicle is lite up bc its on their head. i fire like 5- 7 shots and they dont die. i dont get it, its getting so fusterating considering i never found it a problem B4. It would be helpful if anyone out there wants to play maybe some custom games or somthing and help a fellow halo 2 player get better, or if anyone has any advise. i usually find the double shot a failed attempt in a game. i can nail it perfectly by myself just messing around in a custom game. but in a game i end up reloading and getting killed. but anyways my GT is Mazzzinator if anyone wants to play

Its more then likely latency. what I normally do is 3 burst's to the body so its easier to hit and then 2 burst's to the head just to be sure.

my GT is SatansReverence if you wanna do some practice

another thing. if i get shot and go in cover with my shield like 3 quarters of the way down and someone throws a granade like 10 feet away i die, but in the other situation if i do the same thing and put a good amount of shots on someone and throw a nade right next to them while there in cover nothing happens and when i think there no longer there bc they didnt die they pop out and kill me.

its latency, simple as that. I get it all the time, but I get over it and move on :P

what exactly is it

Encourage a positive experience!

As was originally asked: if anybody knows anything you can do to avoid "latency" (known to us normals as LAG) PLEASE POST! xbox live won't return my calls ;p

I have the same freakin thing happen to me. It drives me nuts. I was playing earlier today in tombstone and shooting guys across the map with my br. With normal lag, their shields don't even light up, because you're the only one who thinks you should be shooting them when according to the game they aren't even lined up with your reticule. But what happens to me is I shoot the living crap out of them and their shield is lighting up so I know the game "thinks" I'm shooting them, too, but they just refuse to die. Then I come around a corner and get shot from across the map in what seems to be two shots. If there is a grenade that has hit somewhere around me, I'm not seeing or hearing it going off. (did I mention this is happening with no other indication of lagginess?) The other thing that makes me think a lot of people aren't as good as they think they are, they just have a better connection: I can assasinate over and over and the other player will turn around! I'll melee them again to the face and they melee me and I die. WTF?
