It is apparent that Microsoft could care less about the franchise that made them billions in live. They and the managers of this game have made billions off of us and in return have forgotten us. It is impossible to play a game in H3 without moderate to severe lag.I currently maintain three accounts all up for renewal in the next month, they will not be renewed! I do play reach but will not continue to support a system that only appears to want our money, again and again! New game, a month or so later new maps to buy, more on the way! Our game play over all the year has made billions for all involved. Now we are forgotten!

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Bungie has a lifecycle for all of their games, Halo 3 is reaching it's death cycle.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Bungie fails at netcoding. Now that the people have left to black ops, the only people on are laggots.

Its your fault its laggy. Its peer to peer based connections. You are not connecting well to who you are playing. Stop whining, I get more lag than you do

I will never play another game of theirs if that is true. I was heavily vested in the franchise, 3 system, 3 copies each for me and family, 3 new 360's, H1, H2, H3, Reach. Each one online had multiple map packs you had to purchase in order to keep playing. Microsoft live for three accounts, plus my multiple accounts. A few thousand dollars total. H2 was so heavily moded you could not get a fair game for years! Similar mods in H3, now lack of interest for those who still love the game by the ones who took your money. I am done with them, period!!!

No it was not! There were occasions were a "host" had a bad or weak connection and th game would lag, but it was infrequent. I rarely dealt with lag. i am on Fios (fiber optic internet) and download 32 mBs per and upload 5 mBs per and can ping from Florida to Canada in 52 ms average. It has gradually gotten worse since Reach was released and now is laughable. It is a shame people still by the game in hopes of playing what was a great game in the series. Reach is dying fast also, look at the numbers. Tried to make it like MW, which I do not play or enjoy, but respect the love people have for it. Game developers should make games all the way through without the influence of corporate desires to steal another games thunder. Halo CE, H2, H3 were all great games and should have evolved within their own concept!

meagslZbeast, it is not whining to post dislike for being forgotten by the very people and companies you made rich! It is called feedback. Read earlier comment on my connections. there is no reasonable person who plays the game still that would not say it has gotten far worse lately. Peer to peer connections are processed through their servers, not too hard for them to use the best connection. That is not the only problem.

wow you like to whine and complain, shut up already, no one cares about your so called problems. There are more foreigners in this game now, so you might be pinging to mexico or Australia instead of Canada. IDGAF if your lagging, if you dont like it dont play, but dont come here and whine about it.

It's not that bad, calm down. I have maybe 1-2 out of 10 games where I find myself complaining about the connection.

If you don't like the complaints, stay out of it, period. I ahve paid for the right to play it and deserve a good game every once in a while. I understand the foreign host problems, that every one does. If you want this forum to be yours for what you think it should be, then start your own. It has been weeks since I have had even one clean game, sometimes part of on, but not a whole one. Players are leaving the game in large numbers because of it. It will only get worse as another stated. Do we just let go of what we enjoy so much?

Why so personal with your comments "beast'? I never to a shot at you, yet you seem hostile, miss mommy do ya?

I was leaving Reach WjB456 to play more H3 when I noticed the lag. I hope enough come back to improve the game play.

I lagged more back when more people played, I really think it is just your connection.

Same here. It could be the host, but that doesn't happen very often.

I went outside today. The graphics were AMAZING. The gameplay WASN"T.

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD baby

Yesterday I played more games on redbar than I did greenbar. Meags can attest to that.
