Subject: How do Australians get host?

Hi guys,

I've heard Australians can only get host if they bridge it, is that true? My first game last was was against two Aussies who were host, the rest of the players were yellow bar but even though they were both 50's on their host they only went +1 each and lost.

Watch the gameplay.

Is this what Australians have to put up with every game they're not host? If so, I feel sorry for you guys.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

Every single game is either Aussie or Mexican host for me so I don't pity them in the least.

Anyone can get host, i'm australian and I pull host 80% of the time even when there's 7/8 foreigners

it's pretty funny actually

-on my old xbox i never got host and it was extremely annoying to play on, but after 100+ consecutive yellow bar games you start to adapt even with all the bull-blam!- like in that video

Typical exaggeration.

OT the yellowbar we get when on US host is slightly better, but not by much. Euro host really is terrible though, basically impossible to win on if your opponents aren't severely spastic.

Yeah I'm English, but to be honest it has to work both ways, if it's bad for you on our host it's bad for us on yours.

lol what?

Aussies hardly ever get host.. All you foreigners do is call us bridgers (implying that we have to bridge for host), and then complain when we get host legit.

Yeah that was bad host, what I usually get with European host (American host is usually better), just what happens when you get a host on the other side of the world.

Although I do understand that when I get host it must play terribly for others. Just today I fluctuated between +10 on my Host (I got it once today) against 50s in TS, all the way down to -10 against Mexicans on their host. Gotta put up with it though, no problem crying about it.

That is true, but UK players are almost always going to pull host over Aussies, unless you're playing against one with an incredibly low packet loss. We have to play on your host far more often than you do on ours.

i can assure you there are tonnes of australian players that are better than you. Most have moved on to Reach or other games though.

I merely said that you always get host. I never questioned the legitimacy of said host.

Well these guys got it legit I think, I still beat them with +14 :)

I wasn't saying they bridged, I was just saying I thought they never pulled host over us without bridging? I didn't know they could get it otherwise perhaps because there is always 1 or more Americans in the game who 99% of the time pull it. Regardless these kids were bad, both 50's lost on full green. I know you're good though Mike, played you before even though you got host booted.

It's not him, although the lack of spelling ability and apparent mental disorder made me think of him.

Wait when? Are you that kid we played yesterday at level 50 and lost 3v2? I told you already, you're better than me and I didn't boot anyone on your team.

This game :( If I was cheating I would have booted you all out when you were 10 kills up 3v2.

Forever Forgers

Live and let live.

That's what Australians normally get? That's like, the standard lag for me and I'm in Sweden. Guess I do know what it's like after all...

Also, what means do you use to determine where geographically the game host is located? Wireshark and ip-adress.com?
