i think most people should associate their standard ping as their usuall ping on bungie-ctf. Mine is about 66-103 on bungie-ctf.

Off topic again, but do you guys have any tips for improving your overall ping (besides getting a faster internet service)?

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. For the past week every time I tried to open a thread it came up with some database error. Anyway...

You could get faster a Ethernet, USB, Firewire, or whatever port you get internet through port. That might help. Although you should consider that most of the time the port is definitely fast enough (especially if you're coming through firewire).

hey, Yout3, u diddn'y say that letter thing at the end u used to do.

Halo has lag issues. UNlike other games this lag affects gameplay a LOT. Halos weapons are slow firing and bullets travel slow cuz of da lag. 63-103 ping makes huge difference. Halo is a VERY hard game to play., If a guys at 66 ping, u have t9 aim close to his body, if a guys at 166 ping, u need to aim off of body. Very strange.............

Anyways, i try to gte back on topic. ANy suggestions for a new strafe. X Force is old now. Any new strafes any of u came up with post em here

There are a few things you can do to improve your ping. First would be getting a faster connection. Second would be to get a modem and network card that can handle the connection. Third would be to modify the network settings to allow for more traffic. Fourth would be to get a good CPU. If the CPU can't process the data fast enough, you will lag.

My processor is a P4 3.4 Ghz. with hyper threading, so i know that isn't the issue. My internet is 256k both upstream and down. I believe that my network card supports 1 Gigabit, and is on a PCI-Express 1x. Tell me more about these network settings and traffic.

I can't tell you how to modify them but I do know that some times windows or what ever sets the limits for incoming and outgoing packets lower than your connection will allow. I do know that you can get programs that allow you to change them.

Aiiii @ my abscence T_T *gutted* puter broked *sigh*
Anyway, about the cpu thing lol, thats a common "hack" tbh...its really annoying, but if u get a proggy like fraps which can take screens at the press of a button (or auto wud be better) and uve got a big enough harddrive, then you can press printscreen loooooads when ur gettin wasted, and you lag it up like no tomoro T_T a totally low and nubby trick, but it is done...
and as for the new strafes, the X-force has everything that you need in a perfect strafe, but really, the crouching isnt as necessary as the moving, so concentrate pretty much soully on the motion, unless uve got the crouch key on ur mouse, in which case thatd be really easy to incorporate...the most important thing is randomness, as lead depends entirely on the enemies ability to predict where you end up next..more random=better strafe

Actually, I have found something. In that little noob sniperspot in Blood Gulch behind the red base, if you camp there with a full sniper rifle and full rocket launcher, no one can touch you. Try it!

first of all, camping is an excellent strategy. I have got to add that to my guide.I HATE BANSHEES, nopt every knows how to long range a rocket launcher. Second of all, there might be some nub who drives his or her hog through the BG tunnels. (Many people like to camp on spawning zones withg da flamethrower.) BG tunnels are dangerous, but i'll give it a try.

You know, you dont have to use the rocket laucher longrange. Basicly it is a little insurance if one of those blasted banshees pesters you or someone trys to flush you out with a tank. Mostly you can hide behind the rocks if a tank shoots at you, but if they drive the tank up, that rocket launcher comes in REAL handy.


PS, I meant the behind the RED base. The Red base is the one where if you run through the teleporter you pop up next to the caves. The Same place where if you run through the teleporter you pop up next to the warthog/rock trick rock. Just clearing that up.

PPS, Also, The Plasma Rifle-Assult Rifle Combo Rocks. Take a guys shields out with the Plasma Rifle and waste him with the Assult Rifle. :D

It might but doesn't the program have to be written with that in mind? You can always try it.

u forgot the sniper trick: fire 2 shots in quick succession. first shot kills the shields, second shot and hes dead. and when sniping always have ur back against a wall, u wouldnt want to be backstabbed!!!

I would try it, but my CPU doesn't support 64bit and i don't have the cash to buy a 64 bit capable Intel CPU (around 500-600 dollars).

Subject: Randomness IS a good thing...

Just found one VERY helpful tip today! This goes mostly for sniping, but can be applied to almost all weapons and tactics...

Randomize your movements, and NEVER stop moving unless you have to. If you just run in one direction, or make your strafing pattern really obvious, people will catch on after a while. If you just keep strafing with a random pattern, it can be as simple as a left-right randomized, but you will be a harder target to hit. Adding a few crouches and jumps also helps. Oh, and people who stop and try to get a headshot are usually killed. Keep moving, and squeeze off a few shots at the body. Remember that if you hit someone, their scope will auto zoom out, so whoever hits first wins.

Well........ um............... Randomness, is what iv been saying in my guide the whole time. Maybe i should reexplain randon starfing adn such. Hopwever, heres the thing, if u move around in specific area, all the enemy does is have to aim in the middle of ur strafe.

1.07............ sigh. 1.07 didn't fix any lag. many people suck at halo cuz of that lag. The lag confuses ppl, and forces them to aim crazy. It is imppposibble to get 0 ping, there still needs to be a server response time.

You get 0 ping if you are the host. That is the only way. It is impossible to get 0 ping any other way, in any other game too.

yeah.........

Randomness is very hard to explain orrectly. me15er u are right, however, many ppl have different views on randomness. It is nearly impossible to get a perfect halo starfe. If u strafe back and forth, someone can shoot u in the middle of ur strafe and ur dead. if ur moving right and left using the X Force Strafe, someone can just have ther aim recticle on the right so when the user moves to the right, he gets shot. ( i shouldn't be saying the weaknesse of my strafe out loud but......)
