Subject: Epic WTF Moment- High Ground Slayer BRs

............................................

A few minutes ago I was playing a Slayer BRs on High Ground, and everything seemed normal.

Then, as you can imagine, I was surpised when I was sent flying across the map, dead, and the announcer said I committed suicide.

I respawned, and all of my teammates were on the ground, but the game was displaying their tags like they were alive. One of them actually fell through the ground and never respawned.

A few minutes later, I was fighting two enemies. We took down each other's shields, I took cover and then I got a double kill out of the blue. They had dropped to the floor, but they were still able to look around, shoot etc. but they couldn't harm me. I went to pick up a carbine, and then spontaneously died again.

I respawned near a ghost, got in, and was driving around, when all of a sudden I was on the other side of the map, I had no weapons, and one of my teammates was in the ghost. No one was even close to me before that happened. While I was on the other side of the map, I saw another "dead" enemy. I headed back to the beach, and died again.

After that, everything went back to normal, but I have no idea what was happening. Was this lag or a glitch?

Note:

I just got Halo 3 a couple of weeks ago. Don't call me a noob for not knowing what was going on.
I've heard of things like this happening in Halo Reach but not Halo 3.
I can't show you what happened because Bungie does not appear to be updating stats anymore.

I'm sure that you were just experiencing lag. Is this occurring often? It could be your connection if it is.

Lag for sure. May be your internet connection, may have been someone else in the games internet connection. Doesn't happen very often, but I always love it when it does, crazy -blam!- happens when the game lags out that bad. If you have a good connection, and dont want this to happen, change your search prefrence to good connection and it will try to match you with connections of your speed or better.

I wouldn't recommend that. Not a whole lot of people play Halo 3 anymore, so it might be impossible to find a match using that search preference (depending what playlist your searching in). Besides, there's always a chance that it will lag anyway.

Halo multiplayer sucks!

Based on campaigns

Halo 2 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo 3 > Reach/CE tied

Halo 3 has a poundland net code, and you probably have a slow connection as well

I run Skirmish!!!

yeah you are def experiencing lag... Best thing to do is to do a speedtest if you are having issues a lot and see what your connection is looking like
