Is the 360 Lag Free? - 08-13-08

Well, I don't have a 360 and my friend always brags about his XBOX Never lagging.

First of all, he doesn't even have online...

So I was wondering does it ever lag?

How does he know it never lags if he's never played online? If he's referring to single-player gameplay, then yeah, it doesn't lag. But that's the case with almost every gaming system these days anyway.

Lagging is a result of slow or poor interenet connection, so it depends from person to person. If you, or someone else you're playing with, has a bad connection, then yes, it will lag. Often times if you're slowing everyone down too much, you will be booted from the game so the rest of the players can continue without the game being so glitchy.

Huh, Same like the PS3.
My connection is really great!

But when someone is the Host for the game on COD4, it usually lags out and kicks you off the game and sends you off to the Lobby...

Honestly when I'm the host, it never lags. 4 Barz FTW!

Yeah, my friend DOESN'T have online. Pretty stupid of him to brag about it...

It lags, but not enough that you would complain about. Well, actually the lag can also depend on what game you're playing. Halo 3 lags more than Call of Duty 4 most of the time.

edit: when it sends you back to the lobby after lag, that means that the host turned off their 360/ps3, ceasing the connection instantly.

Yeah, and the Wii is lag free too FOR SURE.

The lag isn't bad, you can't really complain as it never gets like brawl-bad lag.

To me, there is rarely any 360 lag. The chance of getting a lot of lag is the same chance as getting a perfect online match in Brawl:D Lol, depending on the game of course.

All systems are lag free, it just depends on the connection of your opponent.

That's exactly what it is. It's never the system, it's the server for that particular game, or the connection.

I remember what COD4 was before they moved to their new servers. Bloody terrible.
