its better to host a server rather than joining one, because unless youre connection is really bad (as TMH explained), 99% of the time, you get 0 ping, which is a good thing, because the less ping you have, the less laggier it will be for you
when you host a server though, be warned, it takes from 10-45 min. for a person to join. since youre the only one in your server, people wont want to join it. no one joins nearly empty servers, but some people in the halopc community fills the room up so you have to be patient. i should know, because i run my own server on a daily basis, but ive learned to deal with waiting for people to come. once people start flocking into your server, trust me, youll be having a helluva alot of fun
