Subject: Halo 2 on xbox live sucks its completley terrible HOST SUCKS!!!

Halo 2 blows

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 !!!!!!

Host is bad on tombstone..... oh and in whats it called mlg ffa.... on host IS SO easy ill show you a linky of me playing on host at a friends house I was playing on U g0t 0wn3d 69 about 15 kills were from pure cross map host ill admit that..

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo2.aspx?gameid=725697 035&player=U%20g0t%200wn3d%2069
I dont know how to lazy it but ya you get the picture host from cross map added like 15 kills to me that game


Casper i totally get what your saying and i hate when people who are bad win double team especially or hardcore due to hosting across midship or warlock. When i get host on warlock or middy in hardcore i go either pink 3 or warlock i sit on our flag and just get 30 kills from one spot across map usually.... I think to myself wow.. this is some huge bs but everyone gets it sometimes heh

common problems when someones hosting (and its bad) Cable is fine for like 4 people but for 8 person games good is only like a T1 host

1. Your doubleshots dont register on them
2. You CANT out br them when both of you have equal shields unless its a close range fight
3. They have a bs shotgun
4. The sniper is easier to use
5. Your br takes 7 headshots at mid range to even take the shield down
6. Your beatdowns fly through them or sometimes dont register
7. Their beatdowns ALWAYS hit
8. Your bxr goes through them or doesnt kill while they kill you with one 3 seconds after you performed yours and beatdown after
9. When you nade them they can jump and fly in the air avoiding tons of damage
10. People will prolly say bs on this one they have a larger blast radius on nades (not more damage) the nades they throw just hurt you from farther

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!

you are right, host is a huge advantage, but it does no good to complain about it. The advantage is not present on every kill/death. Hopefully you get host as much as you don't and if you are never getting it, perhaps you should look into a faster connection. I have the 8MBs from comcast and I am host at least 2/3 of the time. Or just screen for boxes while MM is searching. This doesnt guarantee you to be host, but I am pretty sure your chances will be better (it will usually be someone from your party if you get boxes) . At lease this way you won't get beat by the host.

host advantage is a barrier at higher levels if host isn't on your team. Find some d00dz with jawsome connections and party up with them. Otherwise just play for the heck of it, quit rifle matches, or only engage people within a decent distance (not across the stage) on said matches.

When did I say host wasn't an advantage?

What I'm saying is that your assumption that host makes H2 online "terrible" is blatently biased as you decide to rant about host 5000+ games in and years after release.

Host is a big advantage but instead of whining about it you should capitalize on it. Mid to Long distance BR you just have to lead a bit more, and for offhost shotgun you just have to time it just right. Also you can only do the auto reload glitch offhost.

host advantage is nothing compared to other games. just wait 'til you play gears of war.

no one cares about gears of -blam!- but beating host is not always that simple as to just timing it right sometimes you dont have that option
