for -blam!- sake bungie, please do something about this lagg.. i am yellow bar in halo 3 95% of the time even with good internet speed (adsl2+).... maybe some dedicated servers or something? im aussie, and as soon as i have an american in my game its all over, i cant 4 shot with the br, i cant no scope, and it results in me going negative.. on the other hand when its not laggy ill usually get 15-20 kills and go +5 min k/d... its soo frustrating because when i first got this game it wasnt this bad.. please do something for reach to keep halo the best multiplayer game on the market.

Nothing Bungie can do, because current technology is just too crap to allow for flawless multiplayer. And I do feel your pain, I live in NZ, where the internet is about three times WORSE than Aust on average. Still I do sometimes get host because people in the US have bad connections as well. I guess in ten years time, we won't have this problem, but until then, all that is left to do is to complain to the government to spend more on their crappy networks.

i think all the game needs are dedicated servers and it will eliminate the problem.. i downloaded battlefield 1943 which has dedicated servers, and there is no lagg at all. i can play people from anywhere in the world and its always a good connection. also i think americans have these servers for halo, which is why they will almost always get host... someone correct me if im wrong because im not 100%

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

I live in New Zealand and I have lag and I deal with it. I have a good K/D and I play with americans and yet I still beat them. Get a better connection. Dedicated servers don't solve the problem.

Im pretty sure T3 is better, atleast thats what im told. And even with dedicated servers there is still lag, look at computer games such as Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, and others, they have dedicated servers yet there is still lag, its cause lag is generated by users themselves, and usually not the company (Or the company contributes very little to lag).

You could have the best connection, but every provider has issues that will create lag, your distance from someone will create lag (There is less lag if your next door to the person your playing with then there is if your in different countries), and other players themselves could create lag.

There is little to nothing bungie and microsoft can do, so if you want better Online play, you could fund a research group to make perfect connections and give them to everyone, or pay to move all Halo 3 Online players to one country in one area and give them all the same great internet, or just wait.

Personaly I think you should do the first one.
