EVERY time I play a game a in matchmaking I get random lag spikes that sound my connection down to where I'm red barring. It seems to always happen when there is alot going on in the match, or when I'm in a close battle with someone (as if alot of information is trying to be processed). I am connected wirelessly, and have an ethernet going to my 360 from the wirelessly connected computer. What is the reason for this random lag? Could it be that my router's limit is 54 mbps?

Yeah, same here. I don't know what's going on. I remember randomly going black screen for no reason and me red-barring out of the blue. It's not my connection or anything. :/

Love my girl, 4/11/11.

Yeah, this must be a server problem or something.

If it's the same problem I have, it's your Mythic Disk. I'm not sure of the exact problem, but you'll encounter "screen lag" instead of player lag, and you'll drop red bar for a few moments.

It's been happening to me since I got ODST.

I have the Halo 3 disk and it happens to me. I've been getting it since the server switch last month.
