Subject: How good is your connection?

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

Here is a site to test your ping!

Ping Test

My Ping Test

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

Y'know, the ping measurements from these speed tests don't have a tremendous amount of relevance. They measure the round trip for a packet to a specific server. Your ping to other players in any given match of Halo can vary wildly, depending on geographic location and routing issues.

Well yeah. All of Australia's connections to America run through two deep sea copper wires with trmemndous latency, but the ping shows the chances of you having more favorable matchups in MM.

Someone with a horrible ping because of a slow connection will always have a bad connection.

True; it's just that when people start comparing their speed test pings with each other, things become a bit erroneous.

As for bandwidth, anything beyond 1mbps in either direction is pretty much pointless for Halo. Gaming is low-bandwidth time critical traffic, generally speaking.

I'm gonna have to agree with this. I got my internet shaped (dial up speed) a day before my quota ends so I decided to search Reach for a good laugh.

Surprisingly the game didn't really lag at all, it wasn't great but still nothing to complain about. I did find it comical because this was at a time when my internet couldn't even load a wikipedia page.

For the OT.

Gotta love capped internet in Australasia. Forget YouTube, even Gmail becomes almost impossible to load.

There's a fair bit of Halo networking-related information located here. It's an old article now (2009), but most of it is still relevant.

A really good read, i'm now going to retract my statement in my previous post.

I'm here to have fun and win some games. Best part about Halo is easily the crazy custom games infection shenanigans that go on. If anyone wants to do some of these just hit me up on Xbox live.

Here is my connection. From the way my internet freezes, I'd never expect this.
