In Halo 3. What is standbying??

I was in a matchmaking teamslayer, and was lagging the whole time.. i never played halo 2 so i just assumed this was normal lag. Then in my next game, my whole team was lagging all the way to like 1 red bar, and so was the other team. As soon as the lag died down a little bit for everyone, they had like a half full yellow bar, mine was still 1 red bar... Then my team started to get mad at me.. Saying they hated standbyers and would report me.. i tried to tell them i had no idea what they were talking about.. but they just said "dont play stupid with me!"


What is standbying?? is this somthing i can fix.. cause i would much rather have a smooth connection lmao..


PLEASE HELP! thank you ^^

In Halo 3. What is standbying??
It's when a player intentionally presses the "standby" button on his/her modem so that everyone in the game would freeze except for the cheater, so that the cheater would be given all the time the cheater needs to accomplish an objective in the game. Exploitation of this glitch may result in an indefinite ban on your Xbox Live Account.





Stop using dial-up and use a different distrubutor. Ex. Comcast or Vonage





If players keep reporting you, Microsoft will think something is going on.
