Using The Pistol in Halo PC v.s. Using the Pistol in Halo XBOX
Everyone knows that the Pistol is by far the best all-around weapon. On Xbox Halo, I OWN with the pistol. With normal health and shields, you're dead in three shots (BAM BAM BAM).
However, I find it to be more difficult to use the pistol on Halo PC due to the Lag Factor (LF). Even in a very fast server, the LF is still present. I put the cross-hair on the target when they're running and I miss. I put it a little ways in front of them, and sometimes I hit them (definitely not the 3-shot kill).
So in the opinions of some experienced Halo PC players, exactly how far ahead do you put the cross-hair in front of the target? I know servers will be different, and when you host your own you can put the C-H on the target, but I can't host very well.

The ammount you need to lead a target depends on the ping of the person you're aiming at. Usually someone under 200 can be lead by aprox 2-3 MC's, where dialup is anyone's guess. For the most part you have to guess the leading and once you get the hit noise you need to remember the distance and go with that. There's really no elegant way to do it. Of coarse if there were no leading the pistol would be rediculously overpowered (on account of mouse & keyboard accuracy) and need to be nerfed. Not that i'm in any way saying that leading is a good thing.
