OMG. Halo 3 is Peer to Peer too?!?

If any game on XBL would have dedicated servers, I would imagine it would be this one.

I'm not surprised, considering how Halo 3 is only 16 players, yet it still has lag that people complain about.GodofBigMacs

Ok! I'm sure almost everyone knows this the game came out ages ago are you just trying to bash the 360 with all these threads you seem to be making. Check the date of the link its from 2007!!

It is sad that Sony provides dedicated servers to some first party games for free, while I pay for Live and get none

You make me want to sell my PS3.:?

And yet it's the most played exclusive FPS on console and it's praised for its multiplayer. Cows are really digging hard, aren't they. 9.5 > 9.0's. :lol:

I don't notice any when on Warhawk's dedicated servers.

We've known about this for 2 years, why bring it up?Floppy_Jim

I too agree the TC was a bit silly for posting this. But the Lemming attack back? :| Nice one...

It's been known for years TC, and as stated, Halo 3 is still one of the most popular FPS online at the moment, so it really doesn't seem to affect it.

You're comparing a stealth game to an FPS?

My point is that not every game has (noticeable) lag.

Going by your post... I thought you were a person who only understands gamespot scores. What... now they are meaningless? How do I talk to you?

Well when you correct for inflation a 9.5 would be much more than a 9.5 today. I think it would be nearing 10...

[QUOTE="AntiType"]My point is that not every game has (noticeable) lag.Stevo_the_gamer

True.

Is a dedicated server model vs a peer to peer model one if these variables?

Peer to Peer = Having a friend come over for dinner and cooking dinner for him/her yourself.

Dedicated server = Going to a restaurant for Dinner.

Xbox Live = Going to a restaurant for dinner, paying for it, but having to cook the dinner yourself and provide your own cutlery, plates and glasses. XD

I get 5 ping playing dedicated servers on TF2. P2P is the worst way to get a game going.clembo1990

not resistance 2/fall of man. idk what insomniac do there. it has 0 lag.SilverChimera

Once you get to LAN level, the only lag that exists is the lag based on controller input and computer power. But if you want to be totally technical about it, no lag will never go away.Vandalvideo

No it's always super smooth for me. Plus I usually play as pyro and kill the laggy weaker classes.clembo1990

you do understand that xbox live does NOT use a p2p network structure right? P2P means that all clients that participate in the data exchange act as both client and server which means there is NO host. Games played over xbox live provides hosts and everyone that connects to them are the clients which meanas that unlike a p2p network they dont share their a cumulative bandwidth. Thats why the have something called "host advantage", also in order a p2p network would provide alot of hassle to those operating behind a NAT enabled router, whcih means everyone who wants to connect to a game would need to port foward etc

Shooter standards haven't changed.

Halo 3 is still the #1 most played console exclusive.
