Why can people still bridge i thought that the update was so you cant bridge anymore and some guy got bridged and i faced him like 30 times in a row and he kept getting host in DT.

First off theres a difference between host and bridging. Host means your X-Box is the host for the game, which means you will have a faster input to output reaction time (i.e. you're facing an opponent who has a shotgun, and so do you. you both come up to each other and pull the trigger at the same time, but if you have host your trigger pull will register first and you'll mow him down). Bridging (a.k.a. stand-bying) is where you intetionally lag the internet conection to give you the ability to play while your opponents cannot. Most cable or DSL modems have a button on top that reads "Hold" or "Stand-by" pressing this will hold all outgoing and incoming data. Using this in conjunction with Live will cause you to be the only one who can play in the map. With the new update, however, doing this will lag you out 9/10 times. You can usually tell an intetional bridger if they have green connection bar but still seem to skip and juke around the map. Of course there are also mods that do this, but that's another subject.

right on jrock. bridging is getting u and a friend(s) host. ie the entire team in slayer has host, there ya go. standby is as described above. both can be done through xbox connect. but if u r like me and think cheating is too much work, play legit.

P.S.
if u r getting S/B or bridged or even modded, when u die or when you get the blue screen repeatedly push the down on ur d-pad. if possable do it with the blinking on ur switch or router. this will lag out the slowest connection (standbyer) or leave u in a game by ur self as winner. the last one only happens if the modder is trying to lag everyone out of the game himself. you just beat him to it. this is not illeagle b/c everyone can do it. its like making ur xbox ping the server. everyone can do it, you just have to know how to.
