I'm playing some team slayer on halo 2 and a few minutes in i'm always getting booted. sometimes even before i shoot a bullet. is there now an option to boot random players from matches in halo 2?

If you're getting into games, and then getting booted, then I don't think that it would be a disc problem. From the little bit of information you've given, it sounds like you're having Internet issues. Do you have any trouble staying connected to other games on Xbox Live?

Any other games are fine. Custom, halo 3, gta, COD. Just any ranked halo 2 match. I was getting a decent amount of kills in team slayer, didn't even touch a teammate, then all of a sudden i get the message saying I've been booted from the game.

someone told me something about host booting. I don't know why someone would host boot me if i was leading the team

This is a problem in Halo 2, and there's not much, if anything that can be done about it. If you're getting booted that way, then chances are it's someone on the other team cheating there way to a win.

if you are getting a message when you are booted it's not someone IP flooding (host booting) but just someone booting you from the game

if you lag out it can be that you can't connect to the new host (if the host quits) or IP flooded (if your internet stops working this is what happening)

If it was my connection, then it would say I was disconnected from xbox live. I'm pretty sure I was getting host booted because I was leading the team, and someone on the other team must of wanted to end it.
