Well, you know, some guys out there claim that if someone joins the server and have high ping, they will cause the server to lag abit more.

Now, I disargee with this. I don't think that halo really "waits" for one guy if he lags and i don't think halo relies on a peer to peer connection in the first place.

Yeah, feel free to dicuss if someone with high ping really causes the server to lag here or is it just some other dumb halo myth......

It's actually true. If a server is running at a low ping and a player joins with a very high ping he will lag the game. Same went with Halo 2 on the Xbox. Even Halo 3 on the 360 or any game for that matter.

actually, i never had that problem, but then again, i was the one always hosting clan war matches, so i never had probs with it

people complain ALOT about it on coldsnap, but then again, hosts won't notice it, maybe clients do

well, coldsnap is a huge map, so lag is rather to be expected.
however......not even i like lag, spoils good headshots

But for <400 ping would it affect the game enough for it to be noticeable? Only one way to find out i guess.

That spoiled the game.

ussually in my server the lag is mostly 750.However in others its kinda over -ping-acting like 2324 high ping

The only thing that i find happens when you have high ping are those lag warps =/

-Can't pick up weapons
-Can't reload
-Can't shoot
-Can't move
-Glitches a lot

sounds like a bad marriage

but yea, even aimbots now come with LEAD DETECTION, like WTF?! seriously... it works, downloaded it myself, there are 2 ways to negate aimbot apps for your maps, but hot damn, it works even for the most lagging people

Looks like you sir are a botter.

On second thought, it didn't go that badly.

I get around 50-200

Aw dude..........I've had worse...I once had a ping of 2,800 and I lagged to the point the my Game crashed......

Yeh it's my skills, if you participated in clan wars you know it's my specialty, without using the aimbot =/
what, want the aimbot? i merely examine it to make those little btches cry when they play my maps and it won't work, MWUIAHAHAHAH

LOL!! Can I have the app that stops them?

Anti aim bot bot anyone? Like a bot the detects a bot and automaticaly disables it. :V
lol

Then people'll make an anti-anti-aimbot bot bot thing that disables the thing that disables aimbots.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about that method where you make other bipeds zing around the map.

anti-anti-anti-aimbot of course

my ping never budges off 99 on most maps about the size of snowgrove

Ping isnt about what map or the size or quality.
Ping is related to the server and its clients.

then I guess mine is good lol, I havn't tried Hugeass, coldsnap, extinction, etc. So thats why I put the map size I just didn't know.

Ping is determined by
The time a packet from the server takes to reach a client.
Ping is usually distance based but if your isp sucks, then ping would skyrocket.
The problem is that most halo g00ns think that high ping is caused by a wood computer which is rarely true

Source games don't do that. If I have a ping of 8 in a server on TF2 and someone joins with a ping of 400, my ping (and the other players) do not go up.

I Have a ping of 130 to 1,000 on maps as big as Coldsnap it only hit's 300 to 1,000 if there's 12 people in-game...lol

The player will lag, and warp around everywhere, but he won't lag anyone else, they will only see him lagging on their end. Everyone else will be fine.
