I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

It won't.

They force me to pay LIVE so they MUST put dedicated servers although I know they won't.

I have to say I'd like some decent 1vs1 maps and bots for offline games.

the lag isnt THAT bad. but its not good

The only reason little kids get host is because they have a better connection to live but it is annoying having little kids as host as they then think they are the best, i remeber in game chat a little kid killed me and made pig-like noise - What The BLAM!

No, because Halo is better off without one, Dedicated servers are laggier than Hosted severs, so you better hope for Reach to not have Dedicated.

Just take Left 4 Dead for example.

You can't purchase high speed internet at a Walmart, so I really have no idea why people always say this when someone's connection is bad.

Thats the point, the internet sucks and isn't good.

Laglo 3's host was no where near as bad as Laglo 2's host. People like you would complain about low ping advantage; which I do find less annoying than host btw.

  • 10.31.2009 2:35 PM PDT

I'd say yes only if this game was packed for of new stuff, that the game feels like a whole new game. And that different types of DLC would come out for it.

  • 10.31.2009 3:04 PM PDT

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

*PACEPALM SO HARD THAT MY RADIUS AND ULNA ARE DESTROYED IN A HORRID MESS OF GORE* Also the OP is a complete idiot and dedicated servers are annoying, just look at L4D, and still the person closest to the server would still have an advantage.

This is true, however, a dedicated server is more trust worthy, than a private connection which can go up and down in quality and even be easy to expliot any known glitches.

You can get a better Internet connection/router to ease your troubles OP. Believe it or not dedicated servers will not solve any of the problems which ail you.

The host invariably has the highest capacity connection, you may find that he has a high ping as well but that's related to your connection more than his.

  • 10.31.2009 3:38 PM PDT

The host system in Laglo 3 is utter crap. The host selection process is a utter crap. Then wouldn't the solution be making the host system better?

  • 10.31.2009 3:50 PM PDT

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

The day a console game gets a dedicated server is the day that console game comes out for Onlive

By the way, did that thing like die? I heard something about a beta but after that, nothing.

  • 10.31.2009 4:05 PM PDT

ISU Cyclones!

It ain't perfect, and no system ever will be but it works now and if it ain't broke don't fix it. If you think this is broken then how could you play any other shooter that has a worse matchmaking system like oh say... every single other shooter on consoles.

Bungie knows how implement and hopefully has ideas on how to improve the current system since they do it better than any other shooter IMO.

But as another post said being less arrogant and biased would help sway more people to actually consider the points you bring up.

Theres been several console games that have had dedicated servers get a clue. There should be but there wont be, having dedicated servers for 2 million people playing the game everyday is costly as hell and even though microsoft is drowning in money and charging us for live they wont do it. Get ready for more bullets dropping, red bar games, meeles not connecting, people not dying in reach.

Nearly 100% of all xbox360 games run with the xbl host client system, it's not something that the dev's choose to do, it's something that they are required to do for their game to function on xbl.

That being said it is worth noting for the unitiated that dedicated servers have a set of problems all on their own. You would exchange host advantage for advantage by ping rate, and you put the reliability of the xbl network on small group of hardware (the servers) meaning that if they go down, all MM for that game goes down, and yes, that crap happens.

The final kicker on servers is usually cost. For a community like the one that Halo has, servers to support it would cost a massive amount of coin, and that is not even including necessary maintenance and the staff to monitor and service them.

There is no "fix" for lag boys and girls.
