halo 2 map pack glitches??

[DJ_DEEM]

im guessing this is probably already discussed if everyone is dealing with it, but the search function wasn't cooperating with me so sorry if it is....

but has anyone else been having problems with the newer maps that came out for halo2?i downloaded them recently and i have all these problems with sound cutting out and the game freezing and such like that, it makes it REALLY frustrating to play, like when someone is right behind you with a shotgun and you don't hear it until your dead, i love this game but i hate these problems it's been giving me, anyone got any info on fixes or sometihng along those lines?

It's lag. More specifically, latency. The shotgun is infamous for doing that. The game will also "hang" and other such stuff if there's a bad host, or you have a bad connection the host. To check your ping, press and hold the back button. If it's green, you should be good; if it's red or yellow, you have some issues.

Yeah that sounds like lag issues.

The only other thing I can think of is your xbox may be dying. I know those maps are stored on the hard drive itself, but the only way I can think to test that particular theory is to LAN or something.

Sounds like lag to me. If I play in big lag battle contests I sometimes have the same thing happen on the newer levels.
