whilst im on polk audio and the forun is about "video games" i will moan about halo3's online gameplay.

i would say most of you dont have this problem as u live in america, i live in the uk and all of the bungie (halo 3) servers are in the usa and it takes aproxematley 0.25 seconds to communicate there and back (so im told)so most maches severley lag. and if you think your shooting someone yoy are actualy shooting 0.25 seconds behind them.

when it does lag why does it seem to lag "one sided" and one team gets thrashed by the other?

i am level 40 in lone wolves, a mate got halo and i went to his to get his level up (i know how sad we are) but i was strugeling to win the maches even at level 6 due to the lag. i think halo3 tries to cover the lag by making movments smooth so you go whaking people in their back and nothing.

the uk and irlends xbox live is constantley down due to a surge of downlodes of movies and stuff that we got made avalable in the fall/december update that was late.

sometimes you of your team win a mach and you dont level up.

sometimes it starts a game and there is no enemy team so the game ends right away.

sometimes when lag is realy bad you just die for no reason or end up walking into walls ect.

when its even lagging in the slightest granade falls/explosions dont make a noise and iff the explosion does you are dead anyway.

sometimes when its lagging you cant pick up guns or get in vheacles ect for like 30 seconds whilst it figures out whats going on.

also deployable equiptment sometimes compleatley vanishes when you deploy it.

the lag/crapiness is now so bad i dont wen bother playing online.

    Halo 3 sucks in general onlin ehere in the USA as well. The gameplay is old. I'm not sure how it got such high ratings.

    People in the USA have no connection issues. I've only heard of issues in the UK. Halo 3 sucks online in deathmatch. Playing through the campaign with 4 people is fun.

    halo 3, ofline is ok it sometimes does wired things (similar weapon/ vehicle problems just less a lot less of them, also forge is a load of crap in my oppinion)but not like online.

    our connection although to you it will proberly seem slow is 6.5mbps? this is 1mbps above average in the uk (according to some independent reviewer noob) and our upload speed is half a mbps(standard connection upload speed), so our connection is fine, its bungies servers and xbox live uk.

    I dunno, but it did... Anyway it's not the connection that sucks, its just a whole bunch of bugs, and it sucks because of that... When we play 4 player its fun and there are never any problems... Then again I don't have a 360 to play on by myself...

    yea i have to say with is big as a Halo fan i have been since Halo 1, i was very disapointed with H3. campaign was a lot of fun to play through with my friends over live but the gameplay has just becom lackluster. the only think H2 had over H1 was live enabled and now H3 is the exact same gameplay as H2 just with some twist (ala forge). i played multiplayer for about a month and havent touched it since. GOW and COD4 is where im at untill something new comes out
