When online gaming first became popular, it seemed that only a lucky few had high speed, low latency connections, usually from a university or office. Now, with the proliferation of DSL and cable modem availability, a lot more people can get in on the fun without cursing about their modem catching on fire.

However, there are still those of us who, for one reason or another, can't find Halo servers on the 'net with a ping lower than 250 or so.

For this reason, I've started to compile the High Ping Bastard's Guide to Halo, tailored specifically for helping players who want to get in on the fun of online Halo but haven't yet managed to discover the joy that is broadband.

The first installment, Vehicles, is available now.
