Recently I've been playing more Halo 2. When I came back from my vacation, it seems the sniper and other things are, well.... broken. So is the ranking system. Lets Start with the ranking system.

The ranking system for Halo 2 is having problems. I and many other of my friends seem to be losing rank without even playing the playlist. Like today. My friend who was rank 32 in team slayer logged on today and had 27. WOWOH!!!! AND, yesterday, I got my team snipers rank to 26, and I logged on with a 23!!!!! WHAT THE HECK? ALL I DID WAS LOG OUT!!! IS THIS SOME PUNISHMENT?Speaking of snipers, lets move on to that subject.

Also for the past few weeks of being back, the sniper rifle seems to not like to give headshots. I always shoot someone in their face and nothing happens. For example: 2 weeks ago on Terminal someone was AFK on the other team and I decided to shoot them in the face. So I scope and shoot him in the face, only to see him.... twitch? I shoot him in the face again, only a twitch. I shoot him his stomach and long and behold he dies. Then I turn around only to be be killed by a HEADSHOT. 3 days ago, my friend and I was playing team snipers on Relic (which I think is the worst map bungie ever made) he shoots the opponent in the back FOUR TIMES. Then I shoot him in his back, and he STILL DOESN'T DIE. He turns around and kills us both in TWO SHOTS. It's either the sniper is broken, or I just always get the short end of the stick. OOOO sticks, lets move on to this.

This one is short, STICKS GO THROUGH MY OPPONENTS!! I throw a plasma, then it goes through their stomach and they kill me. They throw a stick at me, and its maybe, 5 yards off, but then I die from being stuck, like a magnetic field surrounds my body! This is bull. Wow, I can go into another paragraph from the the last sentence.

Bull, or as it should be said, bulls#!t. Which can only mean one thing, LAG!!!! YAY THE MOST AWESOMEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!! I mean come on! I have the fastest internet in Tennessee (ATNT Extreme 6.0- is very, very, very, very, very, very fast) and I still seem to be walking forward, then all-of-sudden be on the other side of the map with the other team teabaging me. Before Halo 3 came out, THIS NEVER HAPPENED!! Its like bungie just turned their back on Halo 2 to go do some stuff on Halo 3. I mean, Halo 3 is a great game, but you have to remember there are still thousands of people playing Halo 2!!!

The whole basic point of this topic is to show what I'm experencing, and what my friends are experiencing. Right now, its a bunch of internial waste!! I hope many people look at this and say "Hey, this happening to me too! Bungie should get their heads out their butts and do something!!" With this being said, post your little hearts out.

Having the fastest connection speed has some bearing on a lag free experience but after a certain point it's meaningless when in a peer to peer system, host can be given to someone who has a slow upload speed and can't handle the simultaneous connections of X number of players fast enough. When this happens everyone in the game except the host will be lagging just as you described above.
