Reinforcements from Fire_Bullet:
1. First of all, if you have a good framerate that doesn't dip below 30 and 60 or higher is better, and have DSL, there will be absoutuly but no warping, it will seem even smoother than the Halo xbox version even with the netcode. With a ping in the 60's all you have to do is lead a small amount and you'll hit them, the netcode isn't that bad. Remember DSL has become the norm in todays modern world, no one warps anymore in any game unless years ago when most people had 56k.
2. Even with a full 16 people, modded game with rocket starts, dozens of tanks, and those bashsees and more, theres no warping even with the massive battles and dozens of frages nades and tank shells exploxing everywhere, theres no warping, it just depends if you have a framerate good enough.
3. You can do amazing things online in stunt servers, just today I was in a server with massive amount of warthogs and tanks, a dev modded server for stunts, it was so funny and fun, it was on BG and in the caves with the overshield we filled it up with tanks,warthogs and ghosts to the max like 50 in total , we tried to get in there and did, and everyone was throwing nades and shooting tanks, and even I was driving under the whole thing with a hog making it al move around and stuff. It was like a washing machine, we and the guys were laughing so hard, it was so funny and fun. I even got pushed out of the invisible barriers under the map along with others multiple times, I got to 30 KILOMETERS under the map past the invisible barrier.
4. Unlike the xbox Halo online, there are many many online servers and amazing its growing, I remember just a few months ago it was only what 600 servers, now its 760 the last time I went on, another example, is before it was a steady 2000 people on Halo PC, now its I think a 2700 people average. So with all these new servers and people, you can just go online pick a server and start having halo fun, blowing up warthog, getting triple kills left and right with the tanks, sticking that hog and ghost, blowing up the warthog with a rocket all the way across the map and rubbing it in their face, go all cowboy on BG using the warthog to run people over, and jump off the cliffs to the side and get killed by a rocket with just after your warthog hits 3 people getting a triple kill.
5. The whole playing experience is just so much funnier, for you Halo xbox people just go to the MAW forum and go to the stickies and find Halo PC moments, my thread and see all the fun experiences people have had that were just so amazing, special and ROFLAMO funny that just make you want to play the game yourself.
I believe I made some good points in there, its a long read, but a good one.
