In lots of other games like battlefront and call of duty, when people quit there is no BS message that pops up stopping the game.
I dont give a horses @** if the quit or not I just want to play, like seriously stand by is pointless it just enpowers the voice inside me telling me to snap halo 2. Its really starting to piss me off.

Thats because in other games they have a server that hosts all games. The problem is too many people play Halo2 so they arent able to have a server. Also people quitting is not Standby. the message that pops up is telling you they are putting you onto another host.

wow, why dont you go play call of duty 4 then.

in order to fix the problem Bungie would need to have their own servers to host all of the Halo 3 games which would be an enormous cost and would pretty much make no sense

He has a valid point. I get -blam!- pissed off with the damn message.

  • 06.20.2007 8:30 PM PDT

well i guess Bungie could just fork out all the money to buy the servers, and then just make Halo 3 cost 2 or 3 times as much, no big deal

The reason the blue screen comes up in a Halo 2 game online is because the dedicated host or secondary host has left the game or someone has been "lagged" out of the game. When the blue screen comes up the system has to choose another dedicated host to "run" the remainder of the game. Players sometimes quit or "lag" out, which can be because of a weak connection, intentionally by another user, or other various reasons.

Standby is a term used to describe a cheat, in which a player manipulates or interferes with the internet and network connection to disrupt gameplay and give himself/herself and/or his/her team an unfair advantage. Another term commonly used is network bridging in which a player also manipulates the internet and network connection, but to "force" host or "lag" other players out of the game intentionally.

With the 1.5 update released, this form of cheating has decreased and the "Banhammer" system can now track this type of cheating/network manipulation much easier. To find out more information regarding this topic you may visit the Halo 2 Cheating FAQ here.

Ya well saying it would cost an enormous amount to get rid of stand-by just makes me more mad because really stand-by is ruining the game especially when you get it around 5 times a round! I say pay the amount and get rid of stand-by.
