Subject: Dedicated server!

Games like l4d and halo wars never lag! If you dont know why then read on if you do skip a lil bit down.
Halo wars and l4d never lag because they run on a "dedicated server" and what that is... Is a server that everyone connects to (instead of on your on connection) so its not like if someone has a massive download going your gonna lag! Im sorry if this didnt explain it to well idk that much about it but i tryed!

Anyways... I would love to see a dedicated server in halo reach because half the time i lag in halo (and cod4) and the other half other people lag so i can never just play a couple of games without a lag

Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

Yes yes yes yes yes yes and i think i forgot... oh i remember YES! I would love a dedicated server, it means that my Dad downloading downstairs wouldn't intefere as badly with the game.

There's still lag on dedicated servers if you don't live close to it, and there's still "host advantage" in a way if people do live close to it.

It's not like dedicated servers are going to completely fix the problem; they haven't since they've existed in online gaming. BF1943 uses dedicated servers for example, yet I lag in that quite consistently.

And Dedicated Servers only benifit those who Live close by them.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Wow, you are totally misinformed OP. Nearly 100% of xbl games utilize the peer2peer network, not just Halo. Also, and most importantly, dedicated servers do not cure lag, don't let anyone lie to you about that. All a dedicated server will do is eliminate host advantage, and replace it with an advantage to the person with the highest ping.
