Under the video settings, turn everything off (like decals, etc.) and turn the graphics option that is second to last to low. That should speed up your computer, thus speeding up your playing speed.

Welcome to Halo PC. WARNING! Lag ahead

You have to lead all your shots regardless of the PC you have. They miffed the net code and never fixed it. Now your internet connection may add more lag if it isn't very good, but even if you were playing on the Internet backbone with a Cray supercomputer you would still need to lead your shots.

What do you mean with "lag"... internet lag or framerate drops...

Both have the same symptoms but they have different causes.

machinelag != netlag

And it sounds like you have machinelag.

Now - you can, occasionally encounter net-induced machine lag if there are a lot of grenades or explosions going off around you. I agree that you should try lowering your video settings.

they do not have the same symptoms. machine lag is chugging framerates and choppy sound, along with short freezes, etc.

net lag is when the framerate is fine, but people are warping around, you get the little x on the bottom right corner, and when you shoot someone the bullet flies seconds later.
