Subject: Host Host Host

If you get 'super lag' whenever you're not host, you really ought to check your connection is ok. Host advantage is a persistent but relatively small problem, it really sounds to me like you have a bigger issue.

i havent done any standbyin or moddin or even bridgein and i havent gotin host ever scense the update and its not my internet cuz i used to get host almost all thetime now i get it only in a custom game so some how i got ban from host this is bs they should get rid of the ban from host crap.


I get exactly the same thing.... i bought a new connection.....and straight after that i began getting host 9 out of 10 games....then suddenly i never got host....i always get host in customs even when i someone elses lobby.....BUNGIE U R SCREWING IT ALL UP....Whenever i think im gonna get host in matchmaking, as soon as the matched players disappear in '3' (configuring game), i get thrown back to '1' (searching for the best possible game) and have to match to players again.....it happens like 4-5 times before i even get a game....

dude i live in Tasmania(Austrlia) i'm proberly the furthest person away from everyone else that plays halo. i never get host(maybe onca a week to b honest) but i never lag n when i have host no1 else lags. so i'm guesing it has to do with ur connection...

sorry i cant help u though = (

nah sorry m8 i play with aussies all the time and they all lag on american host.


i've noticed that too, but all i'm sayin is i never lag, with or with out host. the lowest i've dropped to is like half a green bar(and thats rarely)...

though i am havin a problem with join any other aussie's(if i get a party invite i mean, or i just drop in univited). it only started the other day n the only way i can join them is go out of pregame back to the main halo page(after u sign in) then i can join. does this happen to u?... i can join americans no problem at all....

and dude u must be pretty slow, cause every aussie i have ever spoken to has complained about american host.


dont make judgements about me, u dont even no me... just coz i dont have the same problems with lag or host doesnt automatically make me "slow"...

y do ppl always judge n say thingd when they dont even know the person there talkin too?

i knoow of 3other tasmanias that play halo n they have no problems with lag or host either. so mayb its just a mainlanders problem coz were fine down here

go to port forward and get ur ports for h2 opened, and u should be able to join. if that dont work i dont no...
but yer im guessing u do lag but don't notice it because its not the lag where people r glitchin all over the map, its lag where u can shoot som1 in the head and they don't die it just doesn't register as a head shot because ur like a second behind and they have already moved. Most of ur beat downs wont register and all this happens in green bar.


where exactly do u go to change that? i know what u mean but i dont know where u go...

also i do get lag like that sometimes, but its usually when host has a bad connection or its raining really badly(like storming) does ur connection go worse in a storm

cheers for that = )

i didnt think it would afect my connection eithr but a onth ago there was abig storm down here that lasted a few days n it did... i'm guessing thats what did it anyway coz as soon as the storm stopped(like an hour later i'm talking about) it was back to its none laggy self

i have a tip! get used to the lag! im a aussie! so i think i know lag... ive kinda adapted to it i guess... im not meaning to brag or nothing but im a bloody good player without host, and when i do get host (very rarely) i do a bit better... anyways mate get over it and learn to live with it... and another thing, bungie doesnt control xbox live! microsoft does!!! omg you are most likely a yanky and you didnt even know that! oh well hope you get used to the lag! happy gaming guys!

Well yeah it is bungies problem we could be playing on 2007 servers instead of 2004 servers and there would be alot less lag and my connection is the best there is and if this keeps up ill just quit halo because i dont need 2 lose every game because of lag



You will quit a game cause you lose?? Thats stupid

Trying hard or hardly trying?

GT: oxI Sonic Ixo

i hate hosting works. host is so terrible. i have a decent connection but every time Im off host or host team, i lose the game. latency plays into affect and ping takes hold to thwart my kills. I get shot across the map with a br because some persons connection that is not delivering decent ping destroys me because host is law. i cant wait until severe connection issues are circumstantially better in halo 3.
