Okay right to the point, I have 12 meg. download and 1-2 meg upload speeds (cable). Since the 1.5 update I can't pull host no even once since the update. I used to get it all the time and never had any lag. "Good games." I've seen alot of really messed up -blam!- since and I've ben playing about 2 years. I have just recently noticed that when I do happen to pull host box (witch really dont mean nothing) I sit ther wait for players, no matter what game type. Then when it finally fills up every one sits their for about 1-2 minutes then people get mad for waiting then leave and new people fill the boxes. Then BAM I boots me out of the party that I had gotten host boxes. Dident relize it at first but it just keeps happening. I removed my router and conected to pc with internet connection sharing. I noticed that my place entering the game has improved. (btb spawn 5-10) insted of 13-16. I know alot about this game. "Cant say here but alot, all aspects" But this one has me puzzeled. I have ben booted from every host box game I recieve when the game is full and should go to three. Is ther something blocking me or what. Like I said it cant be my router firewall because I removed it.

What do you think.

Just for the record I dont need host but I want to know what is causeing this with a great internet connection.

This happened to me too. Since the most recent big update, network history was reset, so it would take XBL awhile to figure out how good your connection is, thereby taking longer for users to find/get into games.

If thats the case!! How long have the new maps and update ben out? Are you telling me that you too haven't recieved host since this update. I play the game every day. Sometimes only about 5 games sometimes maybe 25 games. Regardless I have played probably 200+ games and no host.
What I will says is I dont want host It has made my game a ton better. I just dont see why 75% of the time some guy with a 56k upload get host and ruin the gaming exp. for the rest of us. If Bungie can put a end to all the cheating bridging/modding they could surly not take away the from us non cheaters in the process. I personaly wouldnt mind if they brought back briding and modding just to have the old ways that I'm use to back.
I maybe cheated 1 out 15 games but its better than playing 15 games of bull -blam!-. Thats just my opinion. Every time Bungie makes a change the game gets worse and worse.
