So do you think it would be better for a dedicated server in Reach? This would stop the Host arguments eh?

Original answer:
I think they may be a really early alpha, the real alpha (current build) is prolly a lot better by now.
But you could have just looked down the first 3 pages of the forum :P

Answer to new topic:
Servers don't stop lag, like most people think. And they cost more money, and can be shut down, so you couldn't play the game after a certain time. (look at what happened with Battlefield 1943)

Hmm...

Dedicated servers probably means we will have to pay money to play on it. Servers plus T1 internet connections for it costs a lot. And when the game become old, you will not be able to play on it anymore.

They don't stop lag, but judging from my experience, they definitely reduce it. I play a lot of Bad Company and BF1943 on EA's servers, and they have higher player capacities (24 vs. Halo's 16), with no host advantage and less wacky, lag-created antics (bullet drop, getting assassinated from the front and shot around corners, etc).

I'm sure Microsoft would gladly throw several million dollars away to build and maintain a system only marginally better than the current one which costs absolutely no money to build or maintain. They would in fact be foolish not to do so because Internet rumor holds that the multi-million dollar system has magical properties which subvert the laws of physics in order to flawlessly transmit data at supraluminal speeds.

there goes Eldritch shattering my hopes and dreams again!

Haha, no, I know. I've come to terms with the fact that Bungie will never do a dedicated server, large scale Halo game. But I can still dream!

Yeah, I've had several people complain about American hosts. I personally think it's because they were simply better than us, and I am willing to own up to that.

Why would it cost us money to use ? Left 4 dead 2 has a dedicated server and I don't have to pay for that.
Also I'm pretty sure that with Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST and Halo Reach they should be able to afford a dedicated server.

You have to remember that Halo 3 was in the top five for best selling video game ever, so they need to stop being cheap and actually make the online fair, if one has a disadvantage then everyone should.


Edit: Just read another comment. I know that dedicated servers don't stop lag, but it DOES stop one person in the game from having an advantage of being Host. With dedicated servers everyone is on the same level, unless your connection sucks.
