most likely, it has nothing to do with halo or your reinstalation. your ping depends on two things; your internet connection, and the server's connection. if the server has 56k, for instance, you will most likely have a ping of over 1,000, even if you have four T3 lines hooked up to your computer. unless, of course, the server is relitivly close to your home.
just look around for another server, you should find one that keeps you ping down

make sure you are running nothing else but halo. Dont run Msn, Aim, Yim, Xfire is ok. Dont download anything, play music or anything else. Just have halo active. I know i played in a serverand had a ping of 500-600. Then i stopped my gamespy download and my ping dropped to 30-40

Huh, why did you reinstall Halo? There must have been a reason, and it's possible that before you had to reinstall it you had either added something that helped your ping or took away something tha hurt your ping, which you might have to re-add/take away now that you've reinstalled.

i reinstalled halo because it said to on microsoft help for making more servers show up (even though is 95% gamespy's fault) and i think im starting to get low pings now that i start playing now i think i just needed to get the kinks out of my reinstalled halo. that happened with my friends xbox. it had 100% lag for playing the first hour but then it had 0% lag. i think now the more i play it after i reinstalled the less chance my ping will go over 100.
