In the afternoon, when it lags, do you have anybody else in your home that is using the internet as well?

Ping is only affected by the speed of your internet connection. You could have a super computer and if your playing thru dial-up your ping will be high. What's throwing me off is that Call of Duty runs fine. Does COD display ping rates? COD may play smooter then Halo with a high ping, it's certainly got better netcode then Halo. Is there more then one computer in your house using the internet?

Or perhaps you've got a wireless connection. If you haven't encrypted your wireless, someone could be using your wireless at the same time, meaning that the bandwidth will be as clogged as if there's another computer physically attached to your network.

yes Cod does display the ping rates and mine was around 70 - 200 but no lag..
its not constant in the evening say at 5:06 it might be laggy then when i quit ect..
then it doesnt lag..but then suddenly it starts again..

i have a very good computer as welll..

im gonna call my isp today but maybe you go any more ideas ?

Please don't double post.

You could contact your ISP, or use a leaf blower.

Oh don't worry. Even I've double posted before. And it's not bad all the time. Just remember to use the Edit button. And if you don't know what it is, it's kind of self-explanatory.

The leaf blower thing is just an inside joke here at the Maw. You see, fastmatt was having trouble with his ping and posted a thread saying that after he cleaned out his computer area with a leaf blower that the ping lowered dramatically. Ever since then, we've not only joked about leaf blowers with association to ping, but computer, internet, or network problems in general.

Try joining games with fewer players and joining servers. Also check how fast your internet connection is, and if other people are using it while you play Halo.

How about you try to not run anything else that may have to do wiht internet, like MSN or Internet Explorer, and you may lag if u have an outdated graphic card. I had a crapy GeForce 2 100/200, then updated my PC and bought a GeForce 6800, and now CE runs with little lag. Try that, if you don't know much about hardware or don't want to buy, look for updates on your hardware that may help.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

Well, modded maps may cause a issue with lag.
I've had that happen. Or with whats said above, close open programs like internet explorer, or firefox for sure.
But I've had a really bad issue..
After 3-5 games, Halo will freeze up and my whole computer will lock up on me. I really am getting pissed at this. Can someone help?

Get in touch with your ISP about it, cause I'm out of ideas.

You're sure you don't have firewalls, wireless, anything of the sort? And that you're not filtering games that have high lag settings?

Don't drink to excess– You might shoot at tax-collectors... and miss

Computer: Power Mac G5 CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (2.2) Number Of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1.25 GB Bus Speed: 900 MHz

What kind of broadband are we talking about– DSL, Cable, etc?

I know cable is usually a shared line– everyone in your area shares a line, the more people on, the slower it goes. I don't know if DSL is ever set up that way, but I don't think so.

Also, both DSL and cable have varying upstream and downstream speeds. I almost switched to cable because the downstream speed was way more than my DSL, but the upstream speed was less, so I didn't switch. The broadband providers assume that you'll be downloading more then uploading, so their connections are often asymetrical.

If you change providers, check both up and downstream speeds.
