Lag is just a horrible thing isn't it. An example of how much it stinks is that me and my friends were going for the endure vidmaster achievement we were on the 4th set 2nd round 3rd wave if i am correct, just as we approached the finish we lagged until we lost connection and then we were brought back to the menu. I had high hopes for getting the achievement until now. What do you think of lag?

An inquiry on ODST found these points. The game is keeping track of each character on the screen which requires a bit more of the "computer" than in any other "halo" game. This can be a cause of the "lag".

You can keep the lag issues down in various ways. For instance, on Lost Platoon; in storing your Choppers, leave them scattered in "safe" areas around the map. Placing the choppers in one area, like under the stairs, will create video lag.

Also be aware of your internet connections while on the longer plays. Your home network can slow from a computer downloading or video chatting, which can cause your game connection to "lag".

-Enjoy !!!
