Two possible solutions:

  1. No interstellar travel
  2. Selfhost everything

I once tried to set up a LAN game of Halo, and let me tell you I'm resigned to staying on earth.

Earth is a massive obstacle to network communication. Move to an o’neill cylinder and never have latency again

Are you suggesting I lead humanity into a golden interstellar post-scarcity future so that I can play halo without lag?

The best way to play Halo without lag is to make contact with the Covenant. So yeah, to space!
