Hello all. I REALLY want Halo PC, but I'm afraid that the multiplayer would be lagg-o-rama over a 56k modem. Is it? Halo's like $30!

Heyyo,

Hmm, my experiences with 56k and halo were very bad.. they said they geared the netcode towards it... hah. :P

I couldn't join servers with more than 10 people or I'd get 10 second lag, and then get kicked out 10 more seconds later. Halo's only playable online with a broadband connection dude, unless you like slayer only with 6 people or so...

i got 256k dsl and i get about 30 servers with a ping under 200. I almost always play on the bungie-ctf servers because i don't think i could deal with different levels of lag.

I got a 4 comp lan and i manage to get 300Kbps and i have no lag, some of you might have lag because of internal lag where ur comp is bad and slow, even though it meats the games requirements, it also could be that you have ur settings on ur vid card to high for you vid to handle, but i wouldnt bother playing or getting halo with a 56k modem, to slow. Sorry.

Ok, I'll get it. 6-8 players is fine with me.
