I just pre-ordered Halo 3 but now I have a problem. My internet connection is only 256k/64k broadband connection.

Will that be fast enough to play Halo 3 online? I do not want to Host games or anything, just want to play against other people on any random server. I have played Gears of War online before and it worked pretty well with only slight bullet lag.

So will I be able to play Halo 3 online Multiplayer with my 256k/64k internet connection?

You probably won't be able to play effectively at those connection speeds. Sorry. The SP campaign is going to be AMAZING though. :)

But Gears of War worked pretty well and I never really got kicked.

So would Halo 3 online work pretty well if Gears of War did?

Does Halo 3 require a faster internet connection?

Are u an Idiot? If Gears works then any game will work online.Tokeism

Yep, Gears has some of the worst connection and lag issues of any game i've played on 360 yet. Halo 3 will deffinetly work but i don't think you'll find yourself hosting games anytime soon.

Well as I stated before I dont want to host games or need to.

As long as I can play Halo 3 online with not much lag I will be very happy. As long as the game is playable.

But would Halo 3 require a faster internet connection because of its better graphics and more players etc.?

Hmm so wait.

Are there such things as 4 player Multiplayer games in Halo 3? Where only 4 players are allowed in the server?

Can I choose to play in one of these 4 player servers or do I automatically get put into a random server?

Thanks.

Yeah thanks, thats what I am hoping ^^^^^

But I just have 2 questions about Halo 3.

1. Are there such things as 4 player Multiplayer games in Halo 3? Where only 4 players are allowed in the server? (Does not have to be 4 players)

2. Can I choose to play in one of these 4 player servers or do I automatically get put into a random server?

If it worked on Gears. then why are you asking if it'll work on Halo 3? Not to be mean but it's commen sense that it'll work.
