The only Halo action I get on the 'net is via XBC, though I have heard that Halo PC has some cool features that the Xbox version doesn't have.

As for my skill level, I'd say that on a LAN I'd be able to (using the terminology used on XBC and practically every online game that has some sort of deathmatch mode) "rape" anybody, or at least put up a hell of a match.

It's a whole other story on XBC though, where there are some EXTREMELY talented players (especially with one of my least-favorite weapons, the sniper), but I must say that over 50% of the times I lose, lag was an extremely decisive factor.

But whether it's on a LAN or XBC with me hosting, the thing is there will always be someone better than me, and someone better than that person, and so on.
