Okay, we all know how stupid lag is, but we can't control it. The only way to get a lag free game is to be the host. Well, there needs to be a patch that whenever someone joins, it fools the server that it's the host, but is not, and there's no lag for that player. Hopefully someone understands this. So when there's 16 players, there's 15 "fake hosts" and one true host. I don't know if this is possible, I'm just stating my mind.

LOL wont work cause the so called fake host are still not hosting and the need to send information back and forth plus this would aloow a whole bunch of cheatrs to come in and use things like aimbot and stuff. Nice idea though.

The only reason the host is lag free is because they are physicaly the host not because the game says they are the host. Only the host machine knows where everyone, and everything is. That way it is very hard to cheat if you are a client. Because of this, the host machine sends only the information the clients need so if you play on the same machine or LAN with the host, the info takes almost no time at all to be processed.

you -blam!- noobtard - return to the ignorance from which you came - you obviously know nothing about computers and nothing about lag - you have no right to -blam!- about stuff you know nothing about.

matt my son that is seriously some of the most ignant stuff i read on this forum.

no offence but how in gods name do you thing a game can be lag free?...ohh i know if we all had internet speeds of 1 gbps maybe we wouldn`t have any lag.

It don`t matter who the host is even if u`r the host and u don`t lag the others who join will in some measure.

He was jumpin on rhizzle for flaming chewy, who was 100% correct. Unless rhizzle was flaming your original post in which case he needs indicate that but he shouldn't be flaming anyway

Bottomline: Halo lags. They would have to fix the netcode to improve it which they won't cuz they have bigger projects in the works

Not only would we need speeds that fast, all networking would have to go through fiber-optic cables (MUCH faster than copper cables), and everyone would need high-end computers.

I have a router with four computers attached to it and and working edition of Halo on each one. If you have LAN working for your computer there is absolutely no lag at all! Well except when everyone is in one area fighting on smaller maps it slows down a bit, but LAN is the best.

Just think of it this way:

..............client A
..................|
...............host
............./........\
......client B....client C

So in other words, the host is the middleman. If Client A decides to throw a nade, it goes through the host and onto the computers of client C and B. Therefore, the host has the most accurate information.

EDIT: Ignore the dots.

Know why? This forum is officially up -blam!-s creek and going to hell...

Yeah, the reason it works faster on a LAN is because you bypass multiple router-modem-internet transfer protocols as well as the distance factor.

My password, gentlemen, is a 16 character string consisting primarily of alt-codes.

I suppose I should take it a little easier on folks who seem to think they can fool the laws of physics into thinking they no longer apply to Halo PC...

After all - Bungie has utterly failed to give us a search feature with which we can search for information and not make posts that force us to come across as noobtards.

Yes, Bungie - we want a search feature - I remember seeing one on a forum sometime back in 1994, so I doubt it would be too hard... oh wait - it may be - it took you 5 years to make halo 2 and your capacity for communication with the entire PC Community has diminished to a legend that dies under the burden of proof. I believe the word I'm looking for is titular.

My apologies Matt.

MST - 1 gbps connection can be equally as useless as 56k if the latency is too high - bandwidth does not equal latency.

Look for me to set the record straight on lag very soon. Then there will be no more -blam!-ing about the crabby old inspire....at least, not for a few days...

lol - if the forum continues with this rediculous crazy-talk, I don't think bansihment would be much of a deterrent. I suppose I could refrain from discouraging such engaging conversation such as this because when I do so, it only tears the forums apart... *tears*

I will always -blam!- about ignorance. It pisses me off to no end.

As for the enlightenment - don't mention it.

you want lag free? I got lag free on most servers. *GASP* what's my secret? well I live in washington so bungie HQ is right close and I got T1.... nothing like cruisin round withh a 33 ping on the bungie servers WOOT WOOT! but alas I am not completely lag free because wen some one joins, is banned or booted, has a 56k, is downloading explicit material to entertaiin after they play, or whatever crazy things that slow other ppl down, that affects me. Nothing like shooting a warthog with a rocket as it drives towards me watching it flip into the air all crazy like and land behind me just to dissapear and I get run down from behind.... and besides I have 33 ping what you are asking for is 0 ping, which only happens in one situation, you are the host, even LANs run between 20 ping and 60 so technically they lag.

(and btw just thought i'd mention it, I think bungie has some sort of something that slows my ping down because in the gamespy lobby i've seen my ping at 20....)

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I'm gonna be on a LAN soon. My dad is having ethernet throughout the whole house, with ports in the wall, for system link and/or internet. Gonna be cool.
