hi, just started playing Halo online last week (I know Halo 3 is out, but my
laptop is only able to run ver 1 - I have XP on my sys not vista thank
goodness). problem is I can shoot enemies, most of the time they die (well
ok, some times they die as I am just a noob) but I'm not getting credited for
all my kills during a game. I'm hesitant to re-install the whole game as it
might not work after (game req is higher than what my sys is but it still
works - go figure..
so, any thoughts why I'm always at the bottom of the list? and NO I'm not
looking for Halo mods, (cheats can't make you a better player), lots of sites
have mods anyways.
any thoughts anyone?

Signature

why do people treate their family pets better than they treat kind strangers?

Are you being credited with the assist? That's the only thing that comes to
mind. The scrolling text will tell you who got the kill. It's been a while
since I played.

You'll get better. A faster system, and playing on systems with low ping
times helps.

With the assists, sometimes, you dont damage them enough to weaken
their health. If you only deplete their shields, they may recharge,
and then, you dont get assists. I didnt know about that low ping. I
never knew what that was all about.

Network lag and warp are serious gameplay phenomena. The longer the delay,
the worse off you are. Imagine shooting at the empty air where I was a
second ago. The effect varies; lower latency (low ping time) is better, of
course. For a God-like experience, host a game of slayer. Your ping time is
essentially 0; what you see is what you get. The guy sitting off in the
corner not bothering anyone is probably the host. See how much fun you can
have by shooting him a few times and pissing him off.
