Ok, I'm asking for help because I'm honestly sick of losing over and over purely because of lag.

I know what you're thinking, bull-blam!- excuses blah blah blah, but unless you're from Australia, then shut up, because you dont have to play on yellow/red bar every game.

When me and my friend get host (Doubles partners) we beat the other team usually 25-16... around that score, but when the other team gets host, the score is usually around 25-7 25-10 and so on.

Being Australian, lag affects us to the point where we cant do anything, I'm a 46 my friend is a 41, I'm a very good player and he isnt too bad himself, but when we lag, we cant touch, BR shots dont register, we melee 2x earlier, but constantly get killed by the opponants melee, if a grenade comes our way, we move, but the game takes time to update us moving, and thinks we are still standing on it. It sucks!

Please tell me what I need to do to acquire more of a chance of getting host, because when we get host, the enemy has no problem beating us down or using melee weapons, its rubbish, and like I said, were both good players.

I have the fastest internet in Australia, and NEVER get host, please tell me what "Ports" I need to open to get host and what not. (I have an OPEN NAT, But I believe its a moderate NAT because I cant always join peoples games when my friends can.

I dont blame them, we are at a SERIOUS disadvantage, and in the end, people just rub it in that the won, actually thinking that their better, without relising that they had a x4 advantage to us.

But if they are doing it to ruin the game (Capped hosts) I dont agree with that.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

i just select "prefer good connection". takes ages to find people, but you get a better game at the end of it, which leads to having more fun. which is what it's all about dont forget.
