I'll find out on the 19th if it's really my internet connection holding me back. I have 1.5 meg dsl now an always experience weird shit when I play. It's less though at night since all traffic is faster. But against top players I NEVER win a tie on a beat down. I usually see myself hit the other player, they show they get hit, I hear the noise, and then I'm somehow dead instead of them. I'm a 45 in slayer, so it's not me. I also have plasma grenades to through enemies, I have sword swings hit and do nothing. It's fucking annoying.

But on the 19th, I get 6 meg dsl, so we'll see. If it still acts gay then I'll retire from Halo.

Edit - And I'll smash my game disc into tiny pieces because it's really fucking annoying at the moment.

lol. Well...I've been stuck at 32 forever. I experience the things you describe as well but I don't think its network related as I have comcast cable with the added "speed boost" . Yesterday I hit a guy with the grav hammer 3 times. He didn't die. I did. Amazing!

Hmmm. I just hopped from 3meg DSL to 6meg DSL this week. I need to try Halo3 again to see if it made any difference there.

Breathe, relax, its just a game. 🙂
If it frustrates you so much, there are some other great MP titles out now that you could try (like Paradise)

Well, it only frustrates me when the laggy crap happens. Last night i beat down a guy from the rear. Assassination, right? Wrong, I got assassinated. Oh well.

on another topic......when did they remove the power ups from matching making games......the flare, radar disturbance

They tweaked a lot of the maps a couple of months ago. They also removed some weapons and increased the respawn times of weapons like the Maulers because there were too many Mauler whores.

I love the Maulers, especially on High Ground and The Pit.

Yeah, I wasn't fond of them at first but then figured out that they were fantastic to have on High Ground, The Pit, and Guardian where it was easy to get in to close combat with others.

Although it can be annoying, taking refuge underground in Snowbound with the maulers or shotgun is endless fun.
