Subject: Xlink/XBC VS Vista

Not my first B.Net account obviously

Well I bought halo 2 for vista but I don't like it very much. It lags often and feels choppy when ever I play it.

Will Xlink-Kai/XBC provide a better experience than vista or no?

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

Do you want to play lagtastic (500-600 ping) matches with mexicans and colombians with no mic and spanish text chat on the PC? If so, then XBC/Kai is for you. If not, then get a better GPU and ditch your mom's laptop.

i rarely ever see people hit 500 ping, i play xbc all the damn time and i think the most i see is like 350 to 450, and thats once in a great while, yes lots of columbians and mexicans play on xbc, there's also usually a always a few U.S hosts with great connections, its no where near as great as H2 was on XBL, but its free and one of the only ways you can play H2 online with other people, id highly recommend it, the more people that join xbc and play, the bigger the community will be and the more games youll be able to find with good hosts/servers....plus, even with a bad host/server theres still not half the amount of BS you would encounter with playing reach on xbl, real talk

I say go for XBC. I think it's good, connection isn't too bad at all and there are enough players to get a decent game.

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

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

XBC Halo 2 is very fun and I was fortunate enough to not experience lag as of now.

Oh...wait. I meant:

XBC Halo 2 is very fun - If you get something else than a variation of Snipers on Lockout or MLG TS / FFA on Midship

Ok then. Enjoy your high pings (which the game WON'T show you due to no bars in LAN mode), el terrible players, "A player failed to load the map", people joining then quitting like on h2v when they don't have maps, and every game on LockOut.
