Im probably only the 9 millionth person to ask this but im a new member so bear with me. When Im not hosting, the game plays exactly like xbox version. But when i join a game, any game dedi or even a game with low ping, like 90 or lower, i still lag. I mean its like the bullets are going 50mph. I have to aim way in front af the person. I have DSL not sure what speed but i think its 128kbps. I turned the graphics and audio all the way down. I deal with and play fine, Im just wonderin if everyone has the same problem or its my computer.

Keep in mind that Xbox halo was desined for a broadband connection thus everyone playing online with an xbox had broadband thus a equal performance. Halo PC/CE is different
the connection that people have ranges from 56k on up to a T1 connection so many people will have a widly different experience than the other depending on what connection they have.

If you create a server you will always have 0 ping(awesome isn't it?).

I notice that it lags when I have other programs open. Just use Task Manager and look at your processes. Just end any processes that are taking up the CPU. MAKE SURE you only end processes that have been started by you. Leave any that are by the system alone.
