Subject: Will Bungie Fix Campaign Lag for Australians?

Hello
Is there any information regarding whether or not Bungie will fix the campaign lag issues for those playing in Australia?
This lag made online campaign almost completely unplayable, and it would be awesome if it was fixed for Australians.
Responses appreciated.

I don't think it's Bungies fault that Australia has awful internets.

  • 06.09.2009 2:04 AM PDT

Neither do I, but most other games with Cooperative campaigns don't lag, namely CoD: WaW.



And yes, we have crappy internets.

A) I'm sure co-op campaign in halo 3: odst will use host like halo 3.
B) How do you know bungie will set up a server for co-op campaign?

There is no server. Halo is P2P.

Peer-to-peer. Someone is the host, Using their internet connection they host the game for other people. There is no such thing as servers on Halo 3. And most likely bungie wouldn't set up them for reach and odst

and Australia does have awful Internets, I hate it when they get host in halo 3 multiplayer.

Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive anyway.

Australia

I hope that it becomes addressed but it's hard to pin down the source of the terrible lag during campaign. And for future reference no, its not out internet. Our internet works just fine with Matchmaking and many other online components of other xbox 360 games but for some reason campaign within H3 seems to lag terribly, well for me anyways.

I wish I was still legendary.

They CAN'T. it's the size of the cable between US and Aus (i.e. one of the longest in the world) that causes the lag.

Play with Kiwis, you'll pretty much always get a good connection 'cos we have a short cable.

Campaign lags because it's trying to synchronise so much stuff, probably...However, I've had SOME decent intercontinental campaign matches, and my friends definitely have.

Synchronising all the AI can't be easy, after all.



Oh, and crap netcoding might factor in. not necessarily bad, but it's obvious they didn't test it over long enough distances (seriously, the 'microsoft guys in japan' aren't a long enough test).

I really hope that they change the netcode for Australians. But I really don't know what they can do. Noguchi already fixed the install to hard drive thing for the ODST campaign.

We can't expect him to do much more.

GENERATION 24:The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.

It's really weird for me, as me and my friend who lives 300m down the road from me can't play campaign because of the lag, yet we are perfectly fine in anything else online. We are both on the same ISP as well!

There is nothing wrong with the Internet connection of Australia. It's just when you have to send information around the world at 10 actions per second, multiplied by the number of players in the game, you shouldn't be expecting lag-free gameplay. You obviously haven't played an Australian with a 'good' connection.

For Campaign, it's forcibly syncing the framerate to how fast it can keep the AI for all players in sync. If you're all relatively in the same area, it should be fine. I've actually had games in Campaign with people on the other side of the world that have worked better than with people who live in the same city as me.

I dont see anything wrong with aussi connection

Our Australian connection is fine, just make sure you are playing with all Australians. Otherwise it will lag.

This game is P2P, no server. That means your connection suck because of YOU. Not Bungie. Bungie isn't blamable for all your troubles.

Two makes there more than speakers.

I always get lag when I play the campaign and i'm in America.

Oh, i thought you were being serious, Not just putting Australia down.

No, we do have awful internet, compared to any other country, 90% Of my games are lost because of lag, I rarely ever loose when on host though.

That's because When you have host , everyone else is lagging like a mo!
