Host is only a problem becuase people use it as an excuse for losing. I'm with Duke, although I usually look to see is host, if noone knew who had it there would not be so much whining. Final Boss would not tell you that host is the reason they lose. They lose because the competition at the top is pretty tough and everyone can beat everyone on a good day. Nevermind the fact that they do not lose that many scrimmages.

....or because they play on LAN at MLG tournaments where there is no connection host?

You have no idea what you're talking about.

There is host advantage on System Link. it's just very minute.
Exactly, it makes almost no difference.

Gamertags: defghik, sneaky beav3r. Send me a FR if you play MLG customs.

Sad but true... Halo 1 > Halo 2>>>Halo 3

Host has an enormous advantage on Xbox Live. When I do get host, I can easily get twice as many kills and half as many deaths against the same people I was playing off host. The advantage you get with host really is astounding, and I can't think of any other game that has even close to as big of a host advantage as Halo 2. Oh, and btw, the host choosing system in Halo 2 is terrible. One of my friends has a T-1 connection, and he can even bring my connection to full green (his connection is the only one that I've played on that can do that), and when he does get host, everybody is in full green almost the entire time. But I play with him in Hardcore a lot... but the funny thing is, he only gets host once in a blue moon, and whoever does get host pretty much always has a worse connection. Really, I don't know how you can say the host choosing system is good; it truly is a garbage.

How would you know if people play them if you've never played them?

I don't recall any of those games being broadcasted over TV in MLG tournaments.


What is with this ignorance?

Unreal Tournament...anything? no? Fatal1ty? You alive?

Sorry if I'm butting in, but how do you know you have host in the first place?

Hold the back button right before the game starts. Whoever doesn't have a X is host.
Ah, thanks.
