I love the entire Halo series, Halo 2 being my favorite of the games. I think that the universe is compelling and the story is deep, sweeping, and powerful. The hidden layers in the Halo trilogy and rich details of the backstory in the novels are something I love to be lost in, and im greatly looking forward to the story that Halo: Reach will weave. Bungie has carefully and lovingly crafted a mythic tale that will stay etched in my mind until the end.
Host advantage is a way for people to whine, complain, and make excuses. Their is a slight advantage to having host, but host advantage in Halo 3 is no where near, I REPEAT, NO WHERE NEAR as bad as the Gears of War 1 and 2 host advantage. Play Gears 1 and 2 for a few weeks and you will never, ever, complain about Halo 3's host again. Ever.
The only way to completely eliminate host advantage in any game is to have dedicated servers like PC games use and like Sony's PS3 servers use. That way the connection relies on the server itself, not an individual player's connection which is how most Xbox Live games operate.
