I'm just sick of being on a terrible connection in MLG. I like it for it's competitiveness but I'm getting fed up with always being a couple of shots behind in BR fights because of bad bullet rego and not having my bullets do any damage if my opponent takes cover a second after I shoot him. Plus taking cover myself is pointless because the server hasn't registered I have done so immediately so on everyone else's screen I'm still out in the open. This also makes avoiding grenades very difficult because the server hasn't registered my movement away from the grenade, making me take nade damage when I shouldn't have.

Am I complaining? Sort of, but I still want to rank up in MLG so if I can get a team of Aussies together then we have a better chance of getting host. The Americans may complain but screw them, their next game will have a fine connection so one out of 100 won't kill them when we have it every game. I'm still learning the call-outs but I'm starting to get a good grasp of MLG gameplay.

I definitely believe every wildly inflated claim ITT.

Weow kid, do you even lift?

If we were pre Reach still, this would turn into a massive thread. Ahhh the glory days.

My rank in MLG is 40. I'd play with you, but I'm host banned, and by the sounds of it, you don't pull host either. Running 2s is the only way to get games as well (without waiting an hour).

Maybe just play TS? I play 2s in that all the time and get games pretty quickly. there are about 3500 people searching TS at peak times.

And yes, playing on US host is not fun, but it's not usually that hard. I got an MLG 50, TS 50, TD 50 and Snipes 49 all on yellow bar. I guess you just need to play one step ahead.

Try backing down quicker, and only challenge if you get the first 2 shots.

Yeah I thought I was host banned because I only had host the first couple of days I started playing Halo 3 then never again, but yesterday I got host a couple of times for some reason, I don't know if host bans are lifted after a period of time or something?
Of course it changed hosts after about a minute and I was back to yellow bar, but I still got to throw a few grenades and see them come out of my hand instantly for a bit.
Also my internet is crap even by aussie standards, I only have a wireless broadband dongle because I move around too much to get a fixed contract connection. So I'm on only 3 yellow bars sometimes instead of 4 ( or are there 5 yellow bars? I can't remember ).
That's usually only in MLG though, I have 4 yellow bars in TS, but I hate AR starts and nobody vetoes for BRs
Anyway end of rant, I need some sleep. Thanks for the advice, and my hat goes off to you for getting so many yellow bar 50's, you must be seriously good
