I'm not pointing fingers at bungie, but maybe, somewhere in bungie's halls, that avid pc fan will try to resolve this issue. Or maybe, this is just a pointless attempt at getting a much better online experience. And if it is, that's ok. As long as I say my word.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

But it wasn't like this before. This lag is something new. We are talking 3 second lag periods, sometimes longer. Running around, lagging, and then ending up 20 feet from where you think you should be. It's absurd.

i think that bungie should get there act together whats the diff between a xbox game and a pc game? not much pc and xbox you still pay around the same price for the game! i think that pc games are far better than a game console/xbox you have far more options, for one thing you can use many kinds of controlers wrather than the big monster xbox controlers all bungie\microsft seems to be focusing on is XBOX and totaly putting paying costumers aside to rot
with lag and want of newer better versions of halo! i have had enough! .

As far as I can remember the EU-BUNGIE servers are located outside Dublin, Ireland. Microsoft have thier main EU distribution centre located here. It's a massive complex, by the way, but not as big as One Redmond Way !!

As for the lag, it''s bad. I guess a lot of our US friends as "coming over" as the pings are high for many players. Usually I'm around 50 - 60 ish, but lots are in excess of +250, which leaves matches very uneven.

I doubt if it will get any better and Halo PC servers will eventually be shutdown, formatted and reused for the next big money spinning M$ multiplayer game.

Pity as I really love good old Halo ....

Even if a server has pings less than 150 it still lags pretty bad....but I dont know for sure if bungie really has time to fix this (but....I couldnt imagine why not )

Yea, the lag started when we put out threads about the terrible lag in Halo PC. But what else could we do. And yes I hate people that say stupid -blam!- like what blue eylmo put. People these days.

Bungie, we have put out threads on the lag your servers have and no moderators or ninjas have ever put a post. Why is that? Because Bungie doesn't care about its customers. There doing the same stupid things Microsoft is doing. Releasing products that have many defects and plan on not doing anything to fix it. And Bungie is a money greedy company, just like Microsoft.

If thats the case then Im really angry about that,because I've noticed alot of lag issues recently.U cant always go around blaming internet connections unless they use dial up, I have 2 meg broadband and I have experienced alot of lag aswell recently.I hope Bungie can sort this problem out(they would if it was on Xbox live no doubt -_-" ).

It is nothing to do with your ISP. I have been playing online since HALO was first released here in the UK. I used to use a dial up 56k modem but now have 2.2meg ADSL. Lag has always been a problem with HALO. It dosnt matter which server you use. The only way that you get a decent game is when the ping rates are all about the same. I have a 33 ping on EU but that dosnt help me much at all. The players with the higher pings 200+ are almost impossible to kill as they keep popping up and down like the ' witch from Charlton and the Wheelies!!!'
It is all to do with the network code that is written for the game. I recall alot of people (myself included) noticing a difference when the first patch was released, BUNGIE stated it was nothing to do with that. Although im not entirely sure. why did so many of us notice the increase in lag???? It is my most favorite game and i still play it almost every day. You just have to put up with it and learn to play with it. LOL
