In H2 everyone said the shotgun was useless unless you had host. If H1 was made to xbl, (the way the fan-boys like it) would people also start saying "omg it sucks unless you have host!!" This is pretty much based on games ive played on with Halo PC, but i havent tried using my xbox controller with it. I noticed how they put that pretty much useless shottie in bloodgulch and sidewinder..

There will always be "host advantage", that's just how online games work and I think that would happen if Halo: CE was online and it's probably going to happen in Halo 3 too

Host Advantage hardly makes any difference, the shotgun is still usefull.

I know this should probably be in the PC part of the site, but here's my experience: For Halo: Combat Evolved, no matter WHO had the shotgun, if you were against them, with a shot gun, and they fired .2 seconds before you did, then you fired, even if you were host, they'd win, as they fired first.

No, probably not. The shotguns from Halo and Halo 2 are extremely different.

The Halo CE shotgun has a better range than the H2 shotgun. I prefer both the Halo CE pistol and shotgun.

You'd still have latency, so it wouldn't matter really.

Either way, I hate the people who say it's useless off-host. I was raping faces today with the shot-gun off-host. People who say that just suck, and are looking for something to blame, as the easy way out.

Or they have higher latency than you, which is more likely.

Yes, the shotgun would be less consistent if they made halo 1 online, but it would STILL be a lot better than the Halo 2 POS.
