when playing live on halo 2 host is such an advantage that it makes games completley unfair and biased. when playing a descent player it makes him ten times better also the game is so inconsistant that u cant rely on anything and the game is turned into a power weapon frenzy and everything is left up to chance making u cross your fingers and hope to the heavans that your attack works and dammages the way it should normally two beat downs/ melees kills someone when u dont have host it dosnt and u are completley out matched or if u do have a power weapon and u dont have host like say the shotgun a close body shot and beatdown wont kill someone but if u have host just a close body shot will kill the opponent. i dont beleive the bungie cares enough about the gamers/players game experience leaving more and more gamers completley frusterated and not wanting to play the game thats why i have decided that halo 2 is one of the worst xbox live games when it comes to consistancy and enjoyment for the gamer. HOST SUCKS !!!!!!
This kid has played over 5000 games and I seriously doubt his realisation[sp?] has only come about after playing this many games.
What I see is some angry kid that just got pwned on tombstone on host and came online to write the longest BS sentence ever concieved. Of course host sucks, but there isn't too much we can do about it (bar dedicated servers, but anyone who knows what they're talking about will know this isn't a possibility at the moment).
Honestly you should thank your lucky stars there is Client-side hit detection, AND a well thought out process for deciding host. If you want to see bad host go play GoW, the host on that thing is uber retarded, and get this, ANYONE CAN HOST WHENEVER THEY WANT TO!!!! I can't wait to get seriously and be rid of that game forever, don't get me wrong it's a kick-ass game, but the online netcode makes it so goddamn frustrating.
So just be thankful that Bungie made the muliplayer netcode on this game so great and if you don't like it, go play LAN or something.
EDIT: It looks like he has GoW but hasn't played online yet........lol.....he is gonna be pissed!
