I'm sick of hearing ".... rushing the count" when someone doesn't allow the 30 second timer to run all the way through during hte start of a multiplayer game.

Please make the halo2 multiplayer countdown before a game starts shorter and take away the ability to "rush the count". Also clear up if this has any real impact on gameplay. I suspect it doesn't.

thats because the netcode for Lan and Live are different. LAN is so fast and the host xbox so near that there is no need for synchronization. Everybodies ping is under 2ms. On XBL, just like mech assualt and other games, there will be a synchronization period.

Also Halo 2 games will be like CS. You can join them whether they are started or not. So u can start the game with 2 people, and let it fill up to 16. So much nicer than a game like Mech Assualt when some moron has the crappiest connection and gets kicked off leaving one team without a player.
