Everyone seems to post such stupid topics that are totally ludicrous. I'm shocked more people aren't concerned with Online play, in terms of lag and what not. Yes it's broadband, but even broadband through PC games gives tons of lag at high server stress...and with an downscaled PC (XBOX) having to handle all these connections from long distance, I hope there isn't a lot of lag. Basically, my first epiphany is that Bungie should include an option for a dedicated server XBOX. Most of us are going to play with a buddy and can afford to set up a dedicated box. This way everyone is equal with lag problems (i.e. Host does not gain an advantage), and a single XBOX doesn't have to handle 10+ connections as well as render the host player's XBOX activity. Good idea?? I've got other network features in mind, but I figure this is the easiest for everyone to understand since a lot of people aren't experienced with network technology.

Let's remember that the release is still months away. I just think the option should be available. If a dedicated server leaves, it could migrate to a normal host box, or to another set up server box. It's just unfair for someone who isn't host. Even playing system link I know when my shots aren't counting. There is a slight delay. Switch to being host and suddenly they all count. It definately matters.

I don't understand why no one cares. Come on people, don't you want as lagless online play as possible.
