Bungie gives kickbacks to the people that pay more :/ Im sure Broadband companies payed them to make a host advantage...so people would join a faster company to get it...dont like it? Tough...lifes not fair...or just get some better internet...OR just dont play MM...people are jerks in MM anyway

The whole thing sounds like a lag issue to me. No its not fair, but there really isin't anything that can be done about it. Hopefully Halo 3 doesn't have the same problem.

host advantage is affected by the average distance between you and the other players in the game, not you connection speed or anything (although a good connection will help) im from england and every game i play, host seems to play a somewhat large part in who wins. where do u live? because most people who play xbox live live in america they get host most of the time, and other continents distances from them bring out a big host advantage which the other americans dont see, then when they get an english or w/e host they experience what we have to go through almost every game and they say that we have a bad host. when im playing it seems like everything i do is affected by host and it does get really annoying when i know i should have won but the other team just has host to win

Host is in Halo 3 (well it was in beta, trust me, it's easy to notice when you live in Australia), however they have added a nice little option to search and match you with people that have a similar connection, which seemed to match me aussies almost all the time, and led to quite lagless games ^^.

If only they had something like that in Halo 2...

I went through a similar type of game earlier. It was a Big Team Battle on Midship. I don't know what was going on in the game at all. Almost everybody on both teams was consistantly dead, and red X's covered their icons... Once in a while two or three people (as well as myself almost all the time) would reappear, but otherwise everybody was dead.

Even more annoying was I went through the same thing you did. I hit somebody IN THE BACK three times, only to end up suddenly dead, and at one point I was being hit with something when NOBODY was on my map, and no bullets were flying. Grenades would randomly disappear/explode from nowhere... Yeah, you get the picture. It was a mess. I'm not sure something like this is caused by lag, because I have experienced lag before, and it was nowhere NEAR that bad.

this whole thing about host needs to be sorted out. just now i have had 3 games in a row and been unfairly beaten. i know your gonna be saying "HA you noob" or some other childish -blam!-. but i had hit someone 3 times! shot someone FOUR! times to the face with a shot gun. i had even been shot going through a teleoprter then killed as i came out without any1 shooting me on the other side! explain to me the fairness in that!!!


its not the conections hosts fault if he got host, all host doe sit makes ur shots quicker, its not a big deal

Take it from this guy people, he knows what he's talking about.

All I can tell you is that it seems that after the reset that the host issue is far worse. If youre on the same team as host the connection seems great, but if youre on the other team, you cant hit your BR shots 10 feet away.

I hate Host players with shotgun. They kill me me from far away with one shot. From their distance, it takes me 4-5 shots to kill them...
