wishful thinking here but since this is microsofts baby they should come out with a patch for live or generate some other means of a better connection.

they actually cant cut your service speeds because you are under a signed contract of that service. yes I know in fine print that they say speeds may vary but the FCC actually ruled in favor of the people saying filtering ISP service is not legal and unconstitutional. So this is obviuosly not the case here. Especially since this is the only game for xbox that there is CO-OP Lag of this extremity. So therefore it has nothing to do with xbox live ports. If it was then there would be a lot more games having this issue. Please revise...

I have experienced great lag last night. I live in NY and was hosting. My friend lives down in FL. We tried to play truth and recon but the lag was soo bad and unplayable we stopped. This was the first time i experienced live co-op lag. When i played co-op with my other friend who also lives in NY about 20 minutes from me. There was no lag at all. I set up both of my friends routers (Linksys WRT54GL). no wdrt or custom firmware installed. Just regular most up to date cisco firmware. Both exactly the same except for the IP address' obviously but my friend down in FL lags. I have both there xbox's set to DeMilitarized Zones so they have all open ports to them as well as port forwarding just incase. Quality of service is set as should with WMM support and what not. I had the same router and never had any online issues but now own a Linksys E4200 cause N wireless owns! My friend in FL has Comcast cable connection. My friend and I have Cablevision here in NY. He has 15mb/s dl and 2mb/s up. I have 50mb/s dl and 9mb/s up. I am always the host obviously. This is the only co-op/Xbox Live game that lags when i game with my friend down in FL. Dont know if this info helps any Twinreaper but hopefully this situation will be rectified soon as we are patiently waiting...

I agree. seriously. just be patient people. U wanted a halo remake and 343 is doing the best they can to bring u that. Unfortunatley they hit some bugs but im pretty sure they will have a fix for them soon. So just relax and be patient. Its only been 2 weeks. Pipe down. If u seriously get that mad over a game then may i recommend you take a break for awhile.
