Good, friendly, violent fun.

Hey folks,
So am i the only player on xbl that keeps getting booted out of rumble pit games in mm? As a player from the uk my connection quite often gets jittery when i play BTB due to the large number of players, but rumble pit? why? It's always been fine! I don't know if i'm getting standbyed, but it seems like every other game or so, it'll start and two seconds later i'm blue-screened for thirty seconds before being thrown back to the lobby on my own. The other night it happened about four times in a row. What's going on, i've got more unreliable than reliable games, it sucks!
Btw I never standby, betray or superbounce, so i'm not looking to get my a$$ burned by the flamers, i just wanna have a bit of fun playing a game that i love.

I have had that hapen twice in almost a month, it dont bother me much. what does bother me is when Im in matchmaking at stage 3, it boots me back to stage 1 in most of the ranked games. now that is bull -blam!-. also, if you play on Dial-up it tends to happen more often :P

lol just use a computer as a router :P its not too bad when you play, its about as bad as your bad games, but its bearable. also, it only affects other players If I get host, at which point I quit the game. although it hasnt giving me host in quite a while.

all you need is to be a good player. and avoid the sword/rocket/shotgun because you can use them very well. look at my stats and you see it is possible to play on dial-up effectivly :P

But i've got the fastest broadband connection i can get in my area, and yet i still get lagged out / booted from over 50% of the rumble pit games i play.

I'm starting to wonder whether bungie are making some final tweaks to MM before H3 ships, i mean, using the far higher number of gamers in H2 than say, another internal meta test, to gather more MM data? i dunno, still sucks when you're 'playing' for about an hour before you actually get to 'play' a full game!!

The only time my lag affects anyone else is if I play Forza 2 or get host, and since I dont play Forza 2 online or get host, all I look like to them is the guy with slow reflex's
