This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.
Account Status: Silver :(

All players had Auto aim, Aim assist, could DS, BxR, Swipe snipe and use the PR/green gun combo.
Thats what i meant with an even playing field. It dosen't really make the game harder or easiere, because all players had the same tools. But the players skills is what determined who would win the game.
Host has better autoaim and everything appears as it is becuase there is no lag. It makes all the little things fit in easier such as swipe sniping. You can not really notice it because of how massive and common it is, but the host in Halo 2 especially has a huge advantage in all areas of gameplay.
Halo 2? massive host advantage? hahahahahahaha!!!!! The only game that describes massive host advantage is Halo 3. Halo 2 and Reach use hitscan on main weapons and therefor connection is not an issue as much as in Halo 3. The shotgun in Halo 2 is the only weapon that can truely be described as "host advantage"
*Facepalm*
It's pretty obvious Halo 2 had huge host advantage. You just proved my point. See for those blind to the host advantage you can still tell with the shotgun. Obviously if the shotgun is easier than everything is easier. That is a fact and you can see it if you pay attention to the sniper, too. Hitscan does not remove host advantage. Saying that bullet magnatism and hitboxes are the same for host just proves you have no idea about what you are talking about. Lag was worse in Halo 2 than 3 which only increases host advantage. Halo 3 has a melee host advantage, but the host's gun advantage is a lot more minimal than Halo 2.
