If you just can't handle the lag, then host a game. Hosting a game=no lag for you, but everyone else lags.

XBC was the favorite for anyone and everyone for a long time. GameSpy built a reputation as being the laggiest and then X-Link Kai came along. X-Link was decent until it started to support Playstation and all the others which put a damper on their bandwidth limitations. Basically, the more and more people that came on slowed it down. If you have a very good connection, say 1.5 mpbs, then you should host, if not... try joining but you won't like it. Playing Halo on dial-up isn't a good idea in the first place because Halo was designed without Online play in mind. Meaning the packets of information are LARGE compared to the packets for Halo 2. The smaller the packet the faster the gameplay.

The Ogre's and everyone else originated on XBC... I was around back then but I still suck ass (compared to them). But yeah, it's free, fairly simple, but it is alot of fun. All the good multiplayer levels were on Halo. Oh well.

XBC won't lag if you find the right people.

Find the right people to play with you will be completely fine, Just when you enter a room look at other people's ping, If they have higher than 250 ms, it will usually lag.

I play it all the time, well... when ever I can. I have dial up at home, but when I go to my grandparents house *like once a month* I play all night long every night.

: D

XBC gives you a lot of freedom and all the options besides recorded stats as XBL, If you really want recorded stats write them on a piece of paper lol or take screen shots. I will never buy XBL now after I tried the trial version, then turned around and tried out XBC, I loved XBC. I have some people that know me now and we have the most fun.

I'm in the clan TRW and my name is Big_Wolf.
