Halo 3 has the best multiplayer support ever.

I normally wouldn't make a thread like this, but wow! I've played both Battlefield 1943 both Gears of War 2, which have excellent multiplayer. but I played Halo 3 online today and there was NO LAG whatsoever! most games I play can seriously suffer from lag! but I have to say, it was the best online experience I've ever had :D

I would say the other way around, and with how much complaining I'm hearing about ODST's non-matchmaking firefight, coop, and lag, makes me wonder why a game this big doesn't run dedicated servers.

Not sure what to say about this. My friend let me borrow Halo 3 for the weekend, but I have yet to obtain Xbox Live, so...

I almost always have had the best luck on the Battlefield servers, followed by CoD, Halo = Gears. That's just an average though, I have had that list completely switch up. It really just depends who's the host of your game.

It's ok. The games that hold up after lag that I have noticed are: Call of Duty and Halo. Halo died once it really kicked in, but CoD didn't.

and I agree that Bungie supports there games very well.. The best matchmaking system imo..

It's a great multiplayer with awesome features like forge and sharing maps but... Buying every map pack to play a ranked match? That is the biggest rip-off ever. I feel even more ripped-off since I DID buy every pack and now ODST comes waltzing in with everything already there.

Halo does still get laggy, you've obviously had a hosts each time with a good connection and broadband speed. When it gets to a bad host, that's when it gets really annoying.

Ive been playing H3 since launch and cant remember one match where ive lagged. But host's usually have an advantage though...

Ive lagged in Firefight a few times because the host was trying to download some things while host a match. And yea, the only way to play firefight is to join a friend's game, but thats not too bad because why would you want to play firefight with complete strangers?

Its usually good, as long as your end is stable. My friend has an open router that is like the most standard model with probably 3 people leeching off his internet. As a result he frequently gets horrible lag while playing Halo 3. Mine is usually fine.Wrecked69

Lol your friend gets owned on a daily basis.

Thats how i played the Halo 3 Beta. I just moved into an apartment and didnt have the internet, but i caught someone else's wireless connection :P Bet he constantly wondered why his connection was so slow

NoNoNo. I said that Halo would just screw up after it started lagging.

Even the most basic routers have security measures. Your friend should look in the manual or Google "how to secure a wireless network".

My internet was actually broken for about 2 months and I would play Halo and it would lag bad. I would play CoD and it only lagged if I stayed long enough to become host.

Halo 3 definitely has great servers. As far the greatest, I'm not sure. Call of Duty 4 almost never has connection issues, and I'm sure there are other games like that as well. There is no denying that developers at Bungie know what they're doing, though.
