lol host

Host matters, and plays a significant role in who wins games and who does not. This is a fact, and right before the release of Halo: Reach it's time for everyone to admit it.

Have a nice day!

In high level games with teams that are about the same in skill level, gaining host is a must. It's ridiculous especially in MLG when you both 4-shot each other but the host almost always wins. :/

host does play a factor but their plenty of times where host gets owned, i truthfully think its not that big of a deal

Ok the last time i got host at 50 high slayer was against 3 aussies. They were all 50s one was a 50 gen. We played them twice 1st was off host we won 50-42 i went +2. When i got host i went 23-3 and we won 50-20. Host makes a difference

Ok, seriously, if I wanted to see the damned clip again, I'd rewind the Youtube video myself. You don't need an instant replay after EVERY FREAKING CLIP! That video should be HALF as long as it is shown at the most.

Yes, lag is stupid, but so is that decision to throw in every clip twice in that video.

You had two laggy games and made a montage out of it? WOW

Everyone has laggy games once in a while. Get over it. It's not as if lag is exclusive to you. We all experience it - even us 50s. I had an absolutely terrible connection and managed to obtain 50's in almost every playlist (well, at least the ones that were out a year ago...haven't played since then).

Are you kidding me? I kinda agreed with you there but after watching the video, I'm retracting my statement. What you experienced in the video wasn't any kind of host advantage, it was simply just lag. Like honestly, those guys were freakin' teleporting and it almost looked like you were playing on a yellow-bar.

Host advantage is when their shots register before yours do and bullets don't seem to register on them very well and they always seem to do a lot more damage.

I have no time for filling out information, I'm too busy... bein' delicious.

I'm pretty positive I'm as good as I think I am, I never experience lag on account of my great Internet. If theres ever any lag, its somebody else, and they usually lag out because they can't keep up with the other connections. So I never see that kind of lag. Ever.

This.

I can't stand when I'm in a winnable game and instead of settling down and taking control my teammates are like WEOW HOST WEOS SHOTS NOT REGISTERING WEOEW.

Host exists, we get it. It's a disadvantage obviously, but it's not worth complaining about, and people who talk about it are 0 fun to play with.

  • 09.02.2010 10:09 PM PDT

just regular old lagg.

since i almost never get host and lagg fairly often i've learnt to deal with it.

when lagging i can get kill about 14 kills to 5 deaths.
i even went through a team snipes game completley lagging, ended up with 15kills 0 deaths.

lagg can be helpfull.
