I can't play Halo 3 at all. Each time I get on, the host turns bad after 2 minutes and I'm held in redbar the entire time. My last game was literally unplayable because I saw things 2 seconds after they had already happened.

My internet is fine, and my host record is good.

My connection is perfect in Reach and I pull host every other game. Soon as I jump onto Halo 3, it's redbar.

I'm not exaggerating, and I recorded that game among others for proof. I may as well have not been in the game because nothing I saw was what was actually happening.

Though I suppose it doesn't really matter anyway.

I rarely have that problem, so I don't know what you're problem is if it's not your connection. Maybe you should contact Microsoft and see if they can help you out? I'm sure that they could provide a better insight to this problem than most of us.

The gameplay on halo 3 is great but yes, for us BTB players the network is pretty bad most of the time.

I rarely have connection issues nowadays in H3. Must be your connection.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

I still play most nights and it's very seldom I'll get bad games?

I play every day and this never happens to me. Not sure what to tell you here. Are you from some obscure corner of the globe? That's the only cause I can think of.

I hardly ever have bad connection games. Sometimes I get a little laggy for a few minutes, but its nothing major. Must be something on your side, mate.

  • 09.11.2012 10:02 AM PDT

Haven't played in a while, but didnt have any problems last time I played. Has it been bad connection for a while?

It's open. I'm on wired connection running as direct to my router as I can (it's through a multi-channel switch). Again, no internet problems whatsoever until I'm playing Halo 3. Was just wondering if the connection was bad for everybody, but I guess I'm just not having any luck connecting to the hosts.

Kinda ruins my plans to revisit the game before November.

Well Halo 4 isn't going to play like Halo 3 and if you're going to revisit the game wouldn't it make sense to play through the campaign?

P.S. Your reach map is terrible (that plus shaped one). I got a perfection on it a year ago, but I have no idea how it made it into matchmaking. Then again, I have no idea how people can still play Reach.

1. I don't have my H3 Campaign disc
2. I never insinuated anywhere in this thread that H4 would be like H3. I just said I wanted to play Halo 3 before november, but I can't because of the connection
3. I am aware of that map's shortcomings, but I'm 1 of 4 authors of the map. I only built the aesthetic, while my co-forgers designed the layout and spawns. But I have no clue why you brought that up here as opposed to a PM. It's 2012, and you're right - nobody cares about Reach anymore, especally the forge maps.

global warming isn't proven and won't be - it's more of a political play for funding for "research"
