For those of you getting stuck with shitty players on ranked games... just party up with people you KNOW are good before firing up a ranked match. Voila.
For maximum effect, party up with people geographically close AND are good. 50% chance one of you will get host AND all of you will have an awesome connection.
Halo 3 multiplayer's greatest & siginificant fault is the inability to see actual ping times & pick/choose who the host is. Really this is every online console game, this factor just really fucks this game up for me. I am constantly confused as to how exactly I died when I clearly melee's/rocketed/shot up whoever, but THEY kill me. This was the exact same problem I had with Halo 2... it just sucks all the fun out of the experience for me. I never get problems like this when I can SEE THE PING AND CHOOSE THE HOST.

Ya, me too, but I'd rather do it all in one sitting .
Do you get the achievement for beating the game on legendary if you do it co-op?

Interactive entertainment will never be the same, with the launch of one title that has changed the way the world thinks about video games. ?Halo® 3? has captured the attention of consumers worldwide and has made history as one of the biggest entertainment launches of all time.

(EA Sports), ?Mass Effect? (Microsoft Game Studios) and ?Rock Band? (Harmonix), Xbox 360 has the greatest lineup in the history of video games and is the only console where consumers can play all the year?s biggest blockbusters.
??Halo? is truly a cultural phenomenon, and the launch of ?Halo 3? is an important milestone for Xbox 360 and for video games as entertainment and as an art form,? said Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft. ??Halo 3? embodies our vision for the future of entertainment, where some of the world?s greatest creative minds will deliver a new generation of interactive storytelling.?

I was freaking out while it was down. I was all amped to play and then I couldn't get into a single game. That was a serious outage. If you measure in outage time multiply the number of users effect by the time affected.......500,000 x 1 hour
Someone should be fired for that.
