i just played a game and lost to the lowest skill players i have ever seen becuase of the game blue screening and lagging of such a rubbish host its pathetic i mean somebody in that game had a better connection than him i guarantee....

Game types that need removing from double team. Lockout smg start if your off host on that level and they blow the sniper of the map youve lost becuase they just sit on b3 and you spawn with an smg boring and pathetic.

Beaver creek this map is rather stupid too because once they get host br and wepon control you cant win...They dont have to be even that skilled to beat you its stupid...

Also slayer sanctuary i mean this is complete stupidity you cant win that offhost with out the opposite team being really low skilled also i dunno weather you know about this but 2v2 you can get out off the map soo easy by jumping on each otehrs head its insane then getting your friend in the map to quit youve won np took well loads of skill that did...

Accension is terrible offhost you battle rifle barely damages people..

Tombstone well i fink we all know offhost thats hard to win in any gametype..

Solution to these problems 2v2 Hardcore =] always spawn with br becuase then you can team br and actually kill the host lol

I hope i used appropriate language in this thread

I really wish it would give the best person host in that game it will be alot more fun and there wont be as much lagging!!!

I know, I get host 60% of the time, and my host is like this: Green Bar start for several minutes, then Yellow-Green Bar alternating for the rest of the game. I definetly think it is because I live in Washington (about 40 miles from Redmond--Bungie's HQ, I think).

Maybe you should stop sucking. The only doubleteam map that you can't do anything due to host is ascension.

How is the host decided on in the case where nobody has a good upload speed? Is the game destined to lag then?

when it matches them up it normally always puts a minimum of 768 up to get host

It doesn't always go to the person with the best upload speed. Thats the problem. I have 900kbps upload and one of my friends has 1.4mbps upload. I get host over him a lot in matchmaking, and we both have an open NAT. Usually when neither of us gets host we play on some connection where we can green bar but there is lots of bullet-lag. Luckily, in the h3 beta this didn't seem like nearly as much of an issue (p2p host perhaps?)

Usually if you lose to really bad people and the connection is blue screening continuously, its standbying.

Halo 2 is much better than other games with lag problems(Far Cry, GOW and Rainbow Six Vegas).

Of course it doesn't. Speed is not the only thing considered. Connectivity is another. Check to make sure you have an Open NAT. Plus, sometimes the game just has to play you with the players that it has available. Also, when you are partied with someone, you make things less flexible for matching.

All in all, I think your experience is better in Halo 2 than in most games.

I must've played about 3 games of GoW, and I couldn't stand it. I had my crosshair right on the guy and I saw my rounds zip right behind the guy. At least in Halo 2 you don't have to lead your shots like that. Thank goodness for the aim assist, because without it...it would be hell to aim with those darn thumbsticks.

He said his NAT was open and frankly that's a real easy platitude as an excuse Achronos. Are you really comparing yourself to other games quality instead of just focusing on how you can make yours better? I mean I could see a bum on the street and say well my life is better than his. In reality we are all only a step away from poverty like that. IE: if you focus on doing just enough to make yourself better than the other games. Then it won't be long before another game maker who instead of just making themselves better than the other games focuses on pushing their own limits as creators and game hosts, and without even comparing, you will become the "other game".

Now that being said it doesn't mean that H3 isn't going to be sick and own, it's just something you need to think about when you say something like that, to try and appease your consumers dissatisfaction with something.

I lived in washington, but that was a long time ago. so anyway.......this host thing is getting on my nerves, Not this thread but i mean the Halo 2 MM on Tombstone is absolutly OUT-OF-CONTROL. This has to stop, at least Halo 3 is coming out in September.

yes but thets be honest halo 3... I personally hope they remake halo 2 better graphics no auto aim new maps less host advantage or summit then halo would be best game =] becuase halo 3 theve made it too noob friendly becuase your less mobile and you cant strafe with your Battle Rifle as good.

But then the BR doesn't auto-headshot, so it's not more "noob friendly". It is harder to hit people in halo 3 than in halo 2 with precision wepaons, plus you never start with that bloody SMG.

its not really that much harder becuase you get stupid wepons on halo 3 and you cant avoid them lol becuase your spartan cant move fast enough to get away and the AR is stupid to strong and the aim is like as big as your screen and you cant manuver like you can on halo 2 its alot slower paced i think so it gives it this sluggish and boring effect..

Well, Since i'm in Korea, i RARELY get host, i mean like 1 out of every 50 games.

When i do i play very well as most of us live in the US.

However, whenever im not host (99% of time) its hard for me to kill someone.

Examples.....

SMG battle = We shoot at same time (or me by like 1 sec) i beat down and hear the sound, i die....

BR = I shoot first, hit 2 shots to head, he turns around, shoots 3-4 times, im dead.

Sword = Lunge, lag and appear 2 steps before your opponent, i die.

Sniper = Shoot at head, they live, shoot 2 paces away from head, they die?

SuperJump and BXR in Customs = Lag everytime i jump, never get where i want to, BXR always slower than opponent even though i hit and shoot first

Shottys, Sticks, and Frags seem ok atm, but i have no way to win in MM or MLG customs anymore.

Well i cant see a solution so i gotta live with it.
