Halo 2

so...how is the online?any lag at all?
hows the lag on a game with players playing coast to coast?

I might have to go online......now. !

You know it rules that more than 1 person can go online per Xbox. SO if you have friends over all of you can stay on a team and get spanked online. JOY!

I noticed some lag in spots, but it's mostly lagfree. The most obvious spots of lag were apparent when I was sniping--I'd take my perfect shot, and the enemy would sort of skip forward. But they'd still take the hit, which was nice.

But I've only played with people in the San Francisco area, so I dunno about coast-to-coast.

It's fun to play split screen occasionally, but it gets old fast even on big HD TV. Having a screen all to yourself is better.

So, 1) They're resetting stats Nov. 9th. (right? They fucking better.)
2) I won't have all the levels you early birds will have if I don't beat the SP game. Do you get the levels for beating it Co-op?
3) How does save work in Co-op? I missed that part of this thread if it was posted.
4) I'm thinking of going to my eb maybe 45-60 mins early and taking a book. Think I should go earlier? I wouldn't bother if I'd paid for it in full but I only put down 10.

I just played like 15 roundse online, and might I say, I'm a force of nature agains these guys.

1. stats will be reset on the 9th.

2. I experienced zero lag. (though I'm sure when Mzo get's on he will be teleporting like Nightcrawler)

It depends how many reserves they have. All the times I've gone to midnights/big releases there was like 40 people inline an hour before it opened. And the lines take forever with just that many people, this could be much worse. So I'd go either really (3 hours?) early if you want to wait, or show up after midnght, a good half hour or so, that may take some of the line away. Odds are it's going to be a really long night for employees. Especially with some place's having 500+ pre orders it could be nuts. If you go when the store opens normally chances are there won't be a big line.

Yeah. Screw waiting in line. I'll probably go an hour or so after the midnight thing hits. Waiting in line with a bunch of sweaty,tired,pissed off video game geeks is not my idea of fun times.

Well...I hope my friend is working tomorrow night so I can get into the store a little early...I'd die if I had to wait in line...
