It sounds like your playing on non-dedicated servers. These are people hosting games on their personal machines using DSL and cable connections. These connections usually can't handle more then 4-5 players without getting laggy. If you look on the server list in multiplayer the second column has a icon of a computer this means that the server is dedicated. These usually have a T1 or better and can handle more players at one time. I would try joining one of those.

Now there will always be lag in any game because they muffed the netcode. You will need to lead your shots to hit. This will take getting used to and can be frustrating at first. Welcome to Halo PC.

Still, I think having the need to lead makes it more challenging for everyone, adding yet another factor into the FPS games which is kinda cool in my opinion. But yeah, I think people who lag up a game should be getting something a bit faster than dial-up before they play.

I think it's safe to say that everyone would like a fast isp. The problem is like B said, they might live in a remote area and can only have 56k. Some might not be able to afford cable or dsl. I had 56k for the longest time just because that was all that I could get in my area. Then finally I was able to get cable, which I pay out the nose for but is worth it.

I do recommend that people try to find servers that can accomadate their ping, cause there is nothing worse than trying to plug a guy that is conviniently warping every time you pull the trigger.

I have a T1 connection which as most of you may know is the best connection one could get aside from maybe a crossbox. and I'd love to host a server for you and everyone else out there so I could give everyone my awesome ping. unfortunately, however, I'd have to pay an extra 50 dollars a month to be able to aquire myself an independent static IP rather than the generic static IP that my apartment complex runs. now to me 30 bucks is a good deal for T1 but there's no way i'm gunna pay 80 dollars a month just for my internet.. that's money better spent elsewhere.... like at the bar!

i got dsl. alway sat 100.00 mbps... kind of lags... but as long as my parents pay for the enternet.... im fine with it. lol

in my opinion i think this was a pretty wide-ass question. i mean you can't control other ppls enternet, and you can't make them do anything so i mean as most ppl said.. just get on with it. i dont know if xbox live is better or not? never played it.

Whoa! How do you get a T1 for 30 bucks!? Those things usually cost hundreds per month.

it appears he lives in an appartment, so im guessing they share a t1 or something.


and yes i have dial-up *sooner or later everyone in the maw is going to know this...* and yes i do play on many servers. but guess what else? thats right, i cant get broadband where i live!

ah well, there will always be "city people" who think that they are the only ones who matter and think that everyone lives in a city with broadband

It's all good Boo. I was in your shoes once. Than amazingly the little town I'm in got cable. It was strange going from 56k to the fastest cable I could get my hands on. Usually one dial-up person on a good server doesn't mess things up too much.

Doesn’t DSL use a phone line to connect to the Internet? So shouldn’t you be able to get DSL if you have a phone line.
