You're probably just joining a server with lots of people with slower connections than yourself. Join a server, press and hold F1 to bring up the scoreboard, and on the far right of the chart, it shows the ping of all the players. Tell us what you're ping is.

And The Red Thrall is right, due to Halo's netcode, you may not have a problem with your connection at all. You're just not used to the netcode.

1. Beat your computer with a rake. Rid of the evidence with a leafblower.
2. Get insurance to pay for another computer, re-install Halo.
3. If problem continues, repeat steps 1, and 2 as neccisary.

P.S. Actually, not much does your computer have to do with it but, meh. who cares.

ATTEMPT to sue Gearbox for screwing up the netcode.

That or get really good at leading shots

Or invest in a faster connection speed. I have sbc global and it works just fine.

Plus you can also check ping numbers before you enter a server and ATTEMPT to avoid the lag.

Two tips:

1) Make sure that you close ALL other programs the have even the slightest possibility of accessing the Internet.

2) Download and install Halo Custom Edition (CE). CE has better netcode. Which means it goes faster. YAY CE!!!

I got over it, and I have not played Original Halo since. Besides, custom maps kick ass. The Maw should upgrade.

It's sad how so few people know of custom edition. Think Halo, only less lag, with infinite user-created maps, mods, weapons. For example, Halo 2 is practically made for PC on there. They've got maps with jets, helicopters, chainsaws, katanas, nearly anything you can name from fire flowers to playing as samus to piloting longsword bombers.

Sorry if this is a double post, but I posted a reply, then edited it, and then IT DELETED ITSELF! OMG!!!

Anyway, 150kilo BYTES or BITS per second? 'Cause 150k BITS is pretty crappy, I've got 256kilo bits, and I get some bad lag...

-OF TOPIC- I suggest... no, I DEMAND that Bungie.net create a dedicated Halo CE Forum. I suggest the name The Launch Bay.

Keep up the cursing and you will incur the wrath of the almighty BanHammer. So STOP!

And no, CE is NOT full of people who mod to cheat. In fact, since MapTools don't work on CE maps, there are very few actuall 'mods' out there. And if the servers are empty, it is probably night time in America, where most servers are hosted. Or you have your filter set to 'Do Not Show Maps I Do Not Have' or something like that, that was my problem... for about five minutes. Go download 20 different maps, then complain CE is empty. Coldsnap, Hugeass and Yoyorast_Island are the three most popular maps.

Hey, 250-400 is playable, I get that with my dialup most of the time. And do quite well, I may add.
