Hey guys,

I just moved into a new apartment (using new internet) and I've noticed that my aim in Halo 3 online has been off. I run with full green bars and I don't necessarily notice any bad lag, but the crosshair movement feels jagged and uneven. It could be that I just need to practice more, but I notice that when I play offline and practice my aim, it feels much more smooth and fluid compared to Xbox Live. Has anyone experienced this? Maybe I just need to upgrade my internet. I pull 2.4kbps down and 0.4 kbps up.

Well, to answer the question quickly...
Yes, yes it does effect the aiming.


To get a longer answer..

The time in which it takes for your information to goto the enemies Xbox, and to com back to yours to register the hit is slightly longer then it was in your old place. Offline, there is no time between so it will always be faster.
On a second note, the newer house could be futher from the server site, and be causing this new problem. You may have to practice with the newer time-lag, or just learn to compensate.

Yeah I mean it makes sense that the hit detection is going to be altered because of travel time, but I feel like it shouldn't affect the aiming. And by aiming I mean just looking around. It feels sluggish to me during most games on Xbox Live, almost like I'm experiencing input lag. But I play on a tube tv, so there's no reason for that to happen.

Your new connection is pulling host. Host has less aim assist then others. Another reason could be your xbox is starting to fail. You could be noticing good connection but your graphics card may not be able to handle anymore and is crashing :D

I seem to go negative more than I go to positive. I still think I will get a 50 on this account, I've been practicing in LAN 1v1s against my sister and been playing Mythic difficulty.
