No pop ups now, but when I first checked it I was getting several each time I clicked on the next page.


Anyway, for me the main issue is lag.

I'm on the end of which i am the lagger...

but i mean shit, it's an advantage to the other people most of the time because they can pick me off because the server as far as it's concerned, i'm sitting idle or in one place... meanwhile on my end i've came around and popped a shot off in their head. Then a few seconds later after continiously blastering your entire with no effect or results, i suddenly appear dead, at the starting point in which i hadn't be anywhere around.

Free kill for the opposing side.

Another is friendly fire on, That for me is basically suicidal for everything. I got a clear line of sight with no one remotely around where i'm shooting, and BOOM, suddenly i've killed 2 of my own and they are dead on the floor in front of me.

OR figuring that i can run for cover or move in, and i get to a safe location only to suddenly find myself dead in the middle of the room due to friendly fire.

I hate quiters, but half of them are likely in my shoes to, you join a game, you play around a few minutes only to find that your more of a hinderance and likely to rip your own hair out due to lag or other reasons so you go find another place that isn't as bad.

I agree with the voice crap... but i wish there was a option to completely prevent all voice related crap to be left at the server and give me game info priority. So long as someone doesn't say a peep, i can usually try and hold my own. The moment someone says a word, massive lag.

My bandwidth isn't sufficient. I can't handle the extra information being sent.

Worse yet is the fact that i can't talk either without royally killing my chance of doing anything.

Can't host a game of anything with more then 2 or 3 people (and usually they find the connection excessively laggy)

They never mentioned cheaters...... or glitchers either.

They never mentioned elitists, where the whole point of the game is winning always and never losing even a little bit.

I play to have fun, not to win.

cheaters are the one who don't die and kill you with 1 shot , probably you have to shoot them in the real life to test their chance of surviving

Yeah I have to say number one pet pieve is not necessarily lagging but the people that blame whatever they screwed up on lagging. ex. "Hey thanks the whole raid died" "Sorry guys Lagging" YOU WERE HEALING THE WHOLE DAMN TIME!!!! JERK!!!!

Ok now that my PUG fury is over, basically I hate the cheaters the most. Or in the case when I played Halo2 on a team with my friend. The duo we were playing against got tired of us sniping them so they just started attaching plasmas to eachother and running into the room that we were sniping from

Darth Vader behind a voice activated mic. Or some Italian guy chatting with his girlfriend in the middle of a 8 vs 8 strategy game where everyone else speaks english. Heck, mics are more in the way than helpful in games that incorporate some other means of communicating.

yeah half of the time they just get annoying with the idiots one the other end.

Also, have you ever noticed that it seems like 50% of the time the only people that have the mics are idiots and the ones that play in silence are the best players.

What about if you are play UT3 and your score is 20/19 and you're ahead and someone you know on the other team starts telling your personal history over the lines?? I reckon I'd just laugh it off then quit once I've won the dang tournament.
