Teh Scoffish Page!

So iI just played halo 1 online on my comp for the first time. I played a few games, but I had to stop because I could'nt stand the lag(I'm used to halo 3). So I just wanted to know if it's always like that or not.

all it takes for a computer to run halo is basically a disc drive so, unfortunately your computer must REALLY suck.

Did you pay attention to the ping of the server you were on?
A decent ping to a server online is <100.
And yes H1 online will have a different feel than Halo 3.

H3 netcode is based on a check system. Off host player is aiming here and bullets hit here. Info goes to host box and it agrees or disagrees that bullets hit.

Halo 1 PC is based on what the server sees is correct. This means you have to lead shots according to your ping and the distance from your target with any weapon. In the PC version there is a audio sound that means you hit the player.

LAG. Not frame rate.

This.

Thing is, there is no lag if you are host. Otherwise, you gotta lead all your shots and melees.
