Halo has no netcode so no matter what system your playing on its going to be laggy...

its not as laggy on the xbox though (a system MADE to play games), it usually is a LOT more laggy on the PC unless you have a great connection and a blindingly fast PC

BTW, a word of advice for those who are thinking about downloading Xlink Kai...

I just tried it, trust me, waste of time, nobody is ever on, it's confusing to use, and it is laggier than crap, XBC is waaaay better.

LAGGGGGGGGGG

Why not make remake halo one xbox live style? You could make sooooooo much money If you sold it for the whole 50 bucks.
I know tons of people that would bye it.

first of all, the lag on XBC isn't that bad, just look at some of the tips i posted above to reduce the lag, if that doesn't cut it, then you just complain too much/aren't good at halo

halo wont be released on XBL, it's impossible to update and bungie wont release halo 1 AGAIN, even if it is for XBL because theyre allready working on their next project/projects

if you have 56K dial up you can download xlink kai, but it will be laggier than crap, but it's your only option if you have dial up. You can download it at the link below, it's a little tougher to get familiar with than XBC though (in my opinion)

Xbc lag isn't to bad for people complaining about it. It gets easier once you get used to it. Plus it makes you a smarter player, because you won't always just run out in the open to try and pistol host, just to get smacked.

and playing offhost will make you a better power-up weapon whore.

Updating halo 1 is impossible due to the coding, i cant believe how many times this has been posted and answered w/ the same response. Even if Bungie did remake halo 1, it just wouldn't be the same game, it would just be impossible. Also, if they wanted to enable it for XBL they would have to change the coding of the game, and if they didn't change the coding and just slapped on an XBL option, say hello to the most intense lag of your freaking life.
Bungie isn't going to remake halo 1, there's just no way they will, and all the whining and petitioning isn't going to sway them. If you want to play halo 1 online, be like the rest of us and play it on XBC. The lag isn't that bad (you get used to it) and if you don't want to deal with lag, then you can host a game lag free (for you at least). There's always plenty of people online to play with, and you can still set up clans and stuff just like XBL. Plus, not only that, but you cant also CHOOSE the game you want to play instead of matchmaking choosing it for you. Also, no need to worry about modding, infact, i havn't encountered a modder yet. Even if you did, you can just get up, leave the room, and join another one in seconds.

Thanks for the help!

  • 12.24.2005 6:32 PM PDT

I need some help:

My computer is upstairs, my modem and router are downstairs... I already have a normal ethernet cable from my router to my xbox(because I used to have Xbox Live).

So what's the best setup for me?

-Thnx for any help I'm gonna get.

well there's not much you can do about that....its going to be hard to join games and host games because you wont be able to tell if the game is up or not...the best thing you can do is move your xbox, otherwise you'll need to have a friend and yell to eachother

umm you just find friends during games, then click on their name and add them to your buddy list
btw try to type more....normal next time, its kinda hard to understand what you're saying, just take time w/ your posts

Yeah, that would be hard, I'd have to check my computer for servers and go upstairs to join them. It'd be a mess. I think I'll just wait till I have a computer in my room. Then I can take the cable that goes from my xbox to my router and plug it in my computer. Then take a second cable and connect my computer to my xbox. This should work.

try to type so others can understand you better...
if your question is how to find friends, just join/host a room, and if you happen to see someone you would like to add as a friend just click their name and then add them to your buddy list...simple as that
and you don't really set up parties...you can invite people into your room that youre hosting or send your friends messages telling them to join a room that youre in
