Subject: Bought a brand new Xbox not getting host

What would be the reason for this?

Doesn't Halo 3 probe all new Xbox's for connection quality?

I have enterprise class internet so that's not the problem.

What speed is enterprise class out of curiosity? Speedtest?

Also, host is not guaranteed on a new Xbox.

Add me if you're a serious MLG player.

Your account could be host banned, and playing on a different xbox wouldn't change that. If you're playing against other new xboxes (like low level with a lot of new players) they might be pulling host over you.

Just curious, but how do you KNOW that you're host during a game?

Lol of course Turbs would reply to this.. But he's right. If your account is host banned, you need to make a new account to get host.

You can test if you're host banned by taking 2 accounts (both on your xbox) into team doubles. If the search keeps restarting, you're host banned.

You guys care too much.

The bigger issue is that you care... Host doesnt make or break the game

You guys dont count. I went on Mats youtube channel and watched some of those games, IDK why you guys even play this game if you have to put up with that all the time.

You guys get to complain, people from America do not.

Yes enterprise quality is a relative term but this is the business class internet package where I am from.

I have the upload capped at 1.6mbps with QOS. It is 3.00mbps uncapped.

My download is like 30mbps but I have that capped as well when I'm on the Xbox.

I don't have any other internet services running when I'm on live either.

I thought new Xboxs got host. That's what everyone says. It's possible Wal-mart put a used one back on the shelf or Microsoft sent a used one back into the wild. Wouldn't put it past etiher company to be honest.

Ok. Sorry for snapping, it just really annoys me when people say host means nothing. :P

We play the game because we can, I suppose. After all the games we've played on those connections, I guess we just know how to play on them. Sometimes it's fairly hard, most times it's not to bad. ALL CQB is pointless though. You'll find that good Aussie players don't really go for beatdowns as much as Americans do. I definitely try to avoid situations where split seconds make a difference!

Speaking of Mat's channel. I need him to UL some videos!

It's weird. I've played 20 games so far on this Xbox and shot registration is host-like. Many people have left games and it has never once went to black-screen. Things like this lead me to believe I'm host, but the lack of those particular death animations says I'm not host.

I bought a new Xbox in hopes of improving my host record. I dunno if I'm getting what I paid for. :)

Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

I have 30mb/s down and 20mb/s up and don't pull host.


Deal with it.

Well that wasn't the only reason. OK, that was the only reason.

If you saw how bad the connection was on my old one you'd probably would have done the same thing if you like this game.

You've pulled host every time I've played with you/against you!

OP is also turbs v2.

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 got my xbox when halo 3 came out and my internet speeds are much worse than yours (at home). It's still a fun game to play anyway.

also you said that you're happy with your shot registration; you didn't buy a new xbox just for a death animation... did you?

Yeah it doesn't break the game to not have it but it's the way it's meant to be played. The game is more fun on host/lan. The experience on host/lan is the way the designer intended the game to be. Due to latency and other issues regarding internet connectivity this vision is not fully realized.

Good call! This has happened to me before. I'll try another account or make a new one. If this is indeed a new Xbox it should come with 3 free one months.

I bought a new Xbox in hopes of having host in my favourite games, yes. I don't see what is wrong with that. I mean I'd like to be host 1/8 times in Halo or CoD. The games are more fun, like I said and you have an advantage on host, I'd be remiss if I told you I didn't desire this advantage once in a while. Imagine, all your shots counting. It's a beautiful thing.

I have a much better internet connection now. I'd also like to take advantage of that.

Laugh it up.

I went outside to buy the Xbox..

But yeah, I've got the afformentioned animations so I'm positive I'm host now.

Thanks xParanoia you are a genius.


Issue solved.

Don't forget about the 10 minutes you spent walking to to grocery store to buy the aloe vera for your sunburns.

I played against you once, and I don't remember if it was mine or not. If you played me before that day when I stopped pulling it, then it probably was mine, if it was after, it probably wasn't.

I've pulled host twice in the past 3-4 weeks. Both in doubles with SL.

  • 03.31.2011 2:09 PM PDT

So I guess all my old accounts are host-banned. Weird I thought they banned the Xbox from pulling host not the accounts associated with it. That doesn't make sense to me, but that's what I'm dealing with.

Why does host matter to you so much, if you're only a 44?

  • 03.31.2011 2:16 PM PDT

Either this is a case of more money than sense or your just being stupid.
