hold back when the game starts. if you start without a red x, your host
Correct :)
Host is when the H2 servers see your connection as the most reliable one and makes you the "leader" so to speak of the game. Sometimes, however, the server picks a host with a dodgy connection simply because their connection spiked just at the right time the choosing was going on and you'll find that sometimes the host is actually one with a lousy connection causing lagging issues. If you ARE chosen as host, you will find that it's much easier to kill the opponent and you seem to get away from being killed more often than when you're not host. Some weapons work a heck of a lot better while you're host. Just pick up a shotgun when you know you're host and see. Also gunning in the Gauss warthog while you're host is EXTREMELY effective.
