Subject: Should Halo Reach Have Dedicated Servers?

Theres loads of videos on youtube showing host advantage if you guys dont think theres such a thing.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

So your saying bungie don't have control over there own game? anyway what are we ralking about monthly payments like an mmo because im lost.


Lol. Bungie's game. News flash, Microsoft is their publisher. Halo certainly got to where it is because of Bungie, but who do you think had oversight and actually can control what Bungie puts into the game simply because they are the publisher? Bungie might not like it, but publishers have a lot of influence over pretty much everything that goes on in one of their dev's games. Lets not forget that Microsoft actually owns the Halo IP, so yeah, MS has could completely micromanage everything Bungie is doing if they so pleased.

Too many games end when the host quit though, it's too annoying to deal with. Also, matches won't be as fair because people will be quitting and joining in middle of games.
I hope they don't do this.


I'm not sure if there is a way to restrict new people from joining games if people quit, but I'm assuming there would be. I do not want that feature, Halo has stayed true to that, it sucks being down a man, but its honestly become part of the game experience for me.

As far as games ending when the host quits... I've never had that happen to me in Halo. Every time it just selects a new host and the game goes on with one team down a man. Are you sure you aren't thinking of CoD?

Ok lets just say we don't want dedicated servers dont you guys agree the game needs some improvements, they need to do something because host is just such a big advantage. Anyone have any other ideas then dedicated servers I would love to here some cool ideas people.


Host advantage sucks, but there isn't any way that Bungie has acknowledged works of proving who has host. Not knowing who has host in H3 decreases that advantage because of the lack of the mental state of realizing your at a disadvantage because of circumstance. In Halo 2 you could tell who got host at the beginning of the game by holding the "Back" button and seeing who spawned first. Being in a BR battle with someone you know has host puts you at a mental disadvantage, that disadvantage doesn't exist unless you assume someone has host because you got raped by them, and that's the players fault. I'm pretty sure Bungie has already done things to reduce host advantage too.

Very gd post Mr Bill, Also when you was talking about host and you said its a mental disadvantage I agree but I if you was exuding the fact that they can actually kill you easier I disagree when you have host you can fourshot and when ur not you basically cant.

IMO, every first-party 360 game (at the least) should have dedicated servers. I don't pay £40 a year for Microsoft to use my Internet Connection to host their game.

If EA can put in dedicated servers for Battlefield 1943, a $10 game, then I don't see why Microsoft, one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, can't put some dedicated servers for a game that costs $60.


im not from europe but ya they really dont cost that much money... and well lets face it bungie IS rich. halo is THE biggest francise on the xbox why doesnt it have dedicated servers? why does it have lag?

finally someone that agress, bungie is not poor i think they can afford dedicated servers XD
