I decided to start up Xbox connect last night and play a few games, this was my first time using the tool. Now mind you i've played a lot of FPS and MMORPG's and never have had a problem with lag. CS, Planetside, and Americas Army all run smoothly.

I'm having some problems with lag on XBconnect though. It's nothing to do with ping because on screen mine looks fine (around 80). It's just that in-game i lag a bit, now this is not the case all the time. But it is the case when someone shoots at me or I fire my weapon. Which makes it very difficult for me to operate at all.

Is it the program? Does everyone experience lag with XBconnect?

I just hope Xbox Live! When i get it come November 9th, will be better and I will be able to optimize my 256/256 upload/download connection with it.

XBC is one of the laggiest online gaming devices you could ever play. Gamespy is even laggier.

You will experience lag on any gaming server system, except maybe XBL. You will just have to adapt to the lag if you want to play Halo on XBC.
