Subject: I cant get a 50.

With my connection... Ive gotten 50s before on second accounts, but thats easy. I just cant get one on my legit account!

I live in South Africa and get yellow to red bar every game. EVERY game, litteraly, no host, no green bar. It is IMPOSSIBLE to beat people that know what they are doing with this lag.

Is there anyone out there that has gotten a 50 that lives in a useless random country like me? If so how did you do it? How did u use the lag to your advantage? I know how to play with lag because Ive been doing it for like two years, so dont tell me obvious things, I want real info.

To those of you british and american people:

Dont say I cant get a 50 because Im bad. I already got one, just not on my account. GT: Dark0ne2 if you dont believe me.

Dont say just search good connection, I dont find a game if I do that because theres no such thing for me.

And dont say skill beats lag. Serioulsy, it doesnt.

Please guys someone help me out.

Honestly, you're screwed. South Africa is too far away from any centers for Halo so you'll always be on bad connection. Getting a 50 in any playlist by yourself will most likely be near impossible, but it can also be incredibly easy. Just purchase a new Xbox or find a friend who hasn't played Halo on his xbox. Then search on it and you'll pull host guaranteed for quite a few games, but your host record will be destroyed rather quickly.

You quite honestly live in one of the worst parts of the world to game online though. You're nowhere near any other gaming hub (EU, AU, East Asia, US / Canada) and in terms of Halo, which is an American video game, you have one of the worst possible connections. I suggest picking up another hobby or trying to get South Africa big on gaming.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

I think my highest was only a 42 in Lone Wolves.

Switch over to Halo Reach. While there is no legit ranking system the Netcode is WAY better than Halo 3. I have Aussie friends that more than half the time have green bar connections.

My highest is 28 I am bad though

  • 02.14.2011 11:58 AM PDT

I know Halo Reach connection is better, but the game is terrible. Switching would mean not only have I failed, but I wont be playing H3 anymore. I love this game too much

"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"

I definitely believe every wildly inflated claim ITT.

Weow kid, do you even lift?

I play on yellow bar 90-95% of the time, and have 5 50s.

Don't bridge either, that's just stupid. Not only do you ruin the game for everyone, but it's not legit, because you make everyone red bar.
