Subject: Halo ODST ever get a update to fix lag?

I rented ODST 2-3 weeks after it released and the ODST disc online was UNBARABLE! OMG i played halo 3 story on coop with 4 players with nearly 0 lag but on ODST on Firefight AND coop story mode the game was unplayable. I would jump and pause in mid air. It was not my connection everything else worked fine call of duty games where all in full green and also i was able to play GEARS 2 with no lag and halo multiplayer disc with no lag!

The ODST online was the problem and im just wondering was there ever a update to fix this lag issue on the game?

So basicly this game was super rushed to make the holidays and to get peoples $$$ for a addon worth only $20 and was made by bungie and cant run on a connection that is above the norm? thats nice to know. Was there ever even 1 update for this game?

Its not Bungie's fault you can't afford a good connection.
If you don't like the lag then go back to CoD and GoW were you only have good connection because you are leaking off the Hosts.

There was an update for this game. When you first put the disc in - WHAM! update.

The fact that alot of other people complained about this lag this game isnt even that amazing why would it require a better connection then lets say better games like borderlands or gears or hell i even play mag on 256 PLAYERS with 0 lag on my connection. Fanboys and there halo i swear. Halo is great and all but to defend a games issues just because ur a super fan WOW. Well this was no help i need to goto a less fanboy forum.

But the fact is, Firefight is like part of the campaign.
Any Xbox game campaign would struggle on 4 player Co-op.

Anyway, i'm done explaining it to you. No point if you disregard any comment telling you otherwise as a "fanboy" comment...

Or you guys could just answer his question.

No, they haven't fixed any lag issues.

That's because they all use different network types. Halo uses a very rigid networking system that allows for more content at a time and better visuals. The downside is that you get some lag. I personally have never had much lag when it came to ODST.

Don't be such a self-righteous nob. He's making a valid point and it is something Bungie could have fixed, ie. add matchmaking for the firefight and campaign and give both a good connection filter.

Honestly, the level of fantardedness on these forums is epic. Make one legitimate criticism of a bungie product and people bite your head off.

It's not Bungie's fault. Make sure your NAT is open, make sure your friend's NAT is open. You also need a good connection to host a 4-players-match.

Run the Xbox LIVE tests from your 360, make sure nothing comes up, your friends should do the same.

Bungie has been unable to make an update that makes it's users internet connection faster.
