Not my first B.Net account obviously

The games always lag for me, and I'm the only one who's red bar. On Xbox my connection is fantastic, and my speedtest.net says I'm better than 70% of the country. So why do I always lag so hard?

Also my controllers buttons don't register sometimes.. is that the games fault or is my controller?

This is for Halo 2

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Lime that is just Halo 2 Vista man, most of the dedicated servers provide pretty bad ping.

I am sure you know this, but just to make sure...you will see your "ping" number before entering a game/server. You always want your ping to be a low number.

The MonstrMoose servers seem to be the best dedicated servers "ping" wise. But then again, certain servers will give you a different number depending on where you live.

When in doubt, find a server down the list that gives you a good ping for you and seed it (eventually players will join?) or start up your own custom lobby.

Also, when searching for a game, make sure to organize the Server List by selecting the 'Players' tab, this will bring all the populated servers to the top.

You an always check out my H2V Rumble Pit Server when you get sick of Coagulation =) It is pretty much the only FFA Dedicated Server around, provided by Monstrmoose. BR Starts on FFA maps...yummy.

Hope this helped.

Your pc could do with some cleaning. If your consoles ping is fine, then the lag is probably something to with your pc.

Defragment your hard disk. Download ccleaner. Update drivers. You know the rest.

That internet lag could actually be PC lag, put halo 2's settings to the minimum and try again.
