That's outrageous!

I was playing with this guy on GEARS OF WAR and he said that the host in HALO 2 was worse than in GoW. I know some of you are gonna say, "STFU fanboy" but i dont care. You must know this.

I'm tired of people comparing GoW to HALO. They are two totally different games, one is FPS the other is OVER THE SHOULDER.

Wake up people!!! By the way i'll tell you that host is NOT worse in HALO 2 than in GoW! This guy must have been on drugs...

it depends on where you live really, bacause i live in england and an out of the way place in england, host in halo 2 is really bad for me, im ussually loosing to host advantage alot, i know when im loosing because of host or not so dont tell me im just bad. lunging in halo 2 is bad for me when against someone else, i am like 100-200ms behind everyone else. due to this delay i dont know when exactly an enemy is in lunge range, if they are in lunge range on host and not to me i see them lunge from farther away, but because to my console they are out of range i cant lunge at them.

if i do lunge at them theyre usually in range already and already hit me. and when im behind someone trying to assassinate someone i see them in my range so i try to lunge at them and my console registers the lunge, but host sees the enemy outside my lunge range and tells my console i didnt lunge, i hit them and hear the crack but it doesnt count. this happens alot when me and my friend are playing against each other and each time he thinks im cheating, lol.


i dont know about the host advantage in gears of war but i have played it online and dont know how to tell someone who has host or what advantages it gives.

Gears = Trash.
Who likes playing in third person anyways? (All the time, meaning)

Yeah, host blows, oh well. In 20-some days, H3 is out and we all don't go outside for months.

Did I read THIS right? Gears isn't a full 3rd person because it has over the shoulder view. Where have you been? It's like RE 4.

I SMOKE ROCKS

Is it really worse? I've only just started playing Halo2 online so can't really tell. If it is then I'll be annoyed because part of the reason I tried to get into Halo MP is because I was fed up of the bullet lag and host advantage in GeOW. I hoped that playing Halo2, which I thought was supposed to have better net code, I'd avoid this host advantage.

lol. no host advantage in halo isnt as bad as in GoW. i love both games and i problaly play gears a little more just because its more new. i can tell a major differance between my shotgun and hosts in gears but although its still there in halo 2 its not as bad.
