Wow. Finally I can ask you a question and get a answer. Clearly ignored me when I sent that E-mail.
I have 1988kb downspeed and a 187 average upload speed.
Someone said to me that Halo 3 was based on a 256kb upload. Why is this? I get tremendous lag on Halo 3 Online, but it doesn't start straight away, it comes after 3-4 minutes. It's annoying because I've played games similar to this on a PC with a low connection. The game has had good graphics up to 24 players and the environments and the going-ons within the game are absolutely massive, yet my speed could handle it. Why should this be any different?
So why does Halo 3 take so much of my upload speed? Is it that theater thing? Because given the chance, I'd turn it off, because for all I know, it's taking alot of speed just recording the goings on whilst online. I can play ALL my games on Xbox Live without a hitch. 2 meg down, and 190kb up is fine. But now, because Halo 3 requires so much, I now have to consider paying more just to attempt to enjoy my first Halo experience. Which I have to say, so far has been a disgrace.
Also... Halo 3 apart from it being lagging and stealing tons of upload speed so I can't ever enjoy it online, I've come across another thing. At evening times, the US people are playing so there are very few British people playing. So, with your little search thing, it doesn't find any Quickest found games, or Good Connections because anything overseas to us is rubbish.
So how can you fix this issue? British gamers go without on the weekends in the evening? Oh that's not fair. Neither is it fair that I have to pay monthly to increase my internet connection speed just for the sake of your game. So I recommend and update for your game.
Could you please tell me, what upload speed is required for Halo 3 and whether there will be a function to turn that silly Theater (resource eater) function off. And also... to apologize to people like me who were fooled into buying your game. Had I known it would take that much upload I would not have bothered purchasing it.
This is a Q&A right? So seeing as I purchased your beloved game, I want an answer.
Why is Halo 3 lagging for me?
Why should I upgrade my connection for the sake of one game?
Why did you not give any warning why your game is a upload eater?
Why can't British play in the evening.
Thanks alot
