Could I ask a favor of 343?

I love playing Halo 3, it is my favorite Halo! I’m not sure if this was the case before Bungie left, but when I played Halo 3 multiplayer the day Bungie officially left, I had 2 out of 3 of my matches hacked.

I know a lot of people blame their lack of success on lagging and hacking, but when a ghost is coming for me, and I’m trying to escape up a set of stairs yet repeatedly get sent back down to my doom until I’m run over, I get a little peeved.

Or, if I am standing behind a wall, completely safe from bullet fire, and instantaneously die without a single bullet heard, and then I can’t respawn (the counter was stuck on 5), then the same thing happens to all my teammates, I also get peeved.

I know it would mean a possibly serious expense to 343i, but I would like to plead to them to continue to monitor Halo 3 online play, so I can still have my nostalgic moments.

Trust me, that is NOT hacking, it is lag.

The game was running pretty smoothly otherwise, though.

Plus, you gotta admit, some of those circumstances were pretty suspicious!

You can have lag spikes in otherwise normal games. Sucks but it happens.

I was going to say the same thing. Ive played over 12,000 matchmaking games, in Halo 3, and NEVER once was a game hacked, only bad lag

Is it just me or the lag after the stats transition worse?
