Subject: Is Halo 3 laggy?

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

I miss Halo 3's multiplayer a lot and plan on returning to it later tonight once my copy arrives, and I was just wondering if Halo 3's online matches are now a lot laggier in the aftermath of the Halo: Reach release or that it is just a more regular occurrence that you will encounter a horrendously laggy game. So, what's it like?

Danke Schone in advance.

Edit: Keep in mind that I have a good standard of internet connection.
Edit: I'll be playing Social, MLG and Lonewolves most likely.
Edit: I live in England.

"Team shoot the wraith!"
"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"

Halo 3 was always a lag-hole.

It's still better than Reach though. Come back to us.

Say you play 10 games, for a rough estimation, how many of these games will be laggy (weak or strong)?

And yes I will be coming back, Reach was fun for two months but it misses a certain quality, the one in which I initially fell in love with Bungie and Halo for.

Depends on your internet, what level you are playing at (network tampering) and quite a lot of luck.

An immature and pathetic joke but your contribution is appreciated nevertheless.

Depends where the host is from. Bungie likes to give the one Mexican in the lobby host who puts everyone else yellow bar.

You should be alright except if you get an unlucky host.

This is my internet

I don't know much other than that Halo 3 plays mostly fine for me. Out of 10 games maybe 2 or 3 might have problems.

It's mostly that a lot of your bullets won't register for whatever reason, but it's not so bad that people are teleporting around the place, unless you're playing mexicans. Every time there's a burrito on my team I see that person disappearing and reappearing everywhere, and I can't figure out why.

I just checked my internet speed in which I got a lot higher than you for Ping and Download Speed, but only 0.60 for Upload Speed. Is that worrying or OK? I never seem to lag in any other game.

Your comments on 2 or 3 games roughly being laggy are making me feel a little more confident. Thanks for the help.

I'm afraid you have my mum confused with the person who truly comes in to your bedroom at night for hugs and drunken sex, your uncle Larry.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

9 will be fine, 1 will be awfully laggy. im from UK too, with good internet.

edit: at uni my connection is: Ping=11ms (to best server), download=47Mbps, upload=36Mbps.

at home everything is a lot worse (ping 100+, downl = less than 1Mbps, and upl = less than 0.3 Mbps)

That's a pretty detailed description there, sounds like one of your personal experiences. Are you standing up while typing because it hurts to sit down?

The thing is, a lot of the best default Halo Reach players and some of the biggest default Halo 3 Matchmaking warriors.


Gotta love those verb-less sentences.

What the hell is a signature?

H3 has all too much lag.

Add me if you're a serious MLG player.

In the morning, I'm playing on foreign host about half the time (I'm American), but in the afternoon/night, almost every game provides a decent connection.

So if you're from the UK, I'd reccomend playing in the morning when it's mostly Europeans online. You'll have les laggy games this way.

  • 03.13.2011 12:53 PM PDT

my signature is unique and nobody has one like it

Lag depends mostly on playlist. Regular playlist with about 10 people, 9 out of the 10 will be fine. Big team? Only about 6 with 3 of those being minor lag and 1 being ZOMG AYEM SEEK UF THEES GAWD FOSACKEN -blam!-ME!!!!

If you think that is a "pretty detailed description", you are an idiot. And you should begin reading those poems your sister has wrote on the abnormally large length of my -blam!- and the joy on her face when she stood in the sheer presence of my long chubby friend, because within those are some detailed descriptions.

P.S I'm sitting down typing, because every time I stand up your sister tries to pull my trousers down.

Yes. Always has been always will be. That is the downside of using peer-to-peer without hitscan.
