Whenever I read an article about bad lag someone always says that its because of the piece of crap netcode. And of course like everyone else I have experienced the horrible lag problems. So my question is this-- How hard would it be to modify the netcode extensively enough to truly matter and then release in a required patch for gearbox or whoever to do? Is it impossible, or are they just lazy, or is everyone going to be forced to get vista and play halo 2 if they want a better online experience?

before someone from gearbox I think said something that they couldn't alter the netcode or something.

Well they tried and the result is Halo CE, custom edition, they fixed the netcode and everything giving people the option to mod extensivly, the problem is almost no one plays it.

CE is pretty nice, but there IS still bad lag compared to other games, and ive never seen more than 90-100 people playing, (and almost all of them are on the original maps anyway) compared to around 2000 people playing normal halo.

I think some people dont know and the rest dont care because no one is playing it so they dont play it, its kinda a vicious circle. No one is there so you dont go there and because you are not there no one is there, and because no one is there you dont go.... and so on for ever

LOL, man I once saw like 2400 people at once at Halo PC it rose from 2000 over the course of months, and that was months and months ago, Halo PC is slowly coming back to life.
