If you cant come up with an amicable argument why don't you try picking on my spelling and grammar?

Id like to discuss something ive come to know as Input lag! i dont know if anyone has experienced this but say you no scope someone in the head or pumble them they will still be walking round or shooting you for a moment before they die. usualy its a split second long enough for them to pumble back :( other times its a few seconds! I blieve this is caused by one obviouse thing. Most English speaking halo reach players are in the USA, so most of the time an american will have host. So the time it takes for my brit Xbox's date will be longer than that on other US xboxs and by the time my shot info gets there they have already shot me or pumbled ect. This making sence? Il try and simplify it more just encase.

A brit and american shoot eachother with a shot gun. the brit's shot data takes 2 seconds to reach host but the american takes 1 second (although were talking decimal points of seconds in reality) So despite seeing himself get the first shot the brit will be killed without dealing any damage.

This makes gametypes such as swat, infection, and grif ball virtualy unplayable for UK players unless they have host.

The solution is simple, regional searching, gears has it, BF has it, and so on but reach has language restrictions so its always one brit vs all USA.

Although not normally a problem in team snipers so im not all and out upset about this i would like to hear your thoughts on the theory.

Wow, what an intelligent resonse.

OT I'm from the UK OP and most of the time it's not an issue for me. Maybe you need to change your internet provider?

i just tested it, right now im on 35MB download and 6.6 upload which i believe is only possible with fiber optic broadband. which leads me to believe its input lag as apposed to a gash connection. my provider owns the entire UK phone network so any other provider would always be less as they rent the lines from my own provider, we get priority. hense why im so poor after the bill for it lol

If I search on language, I get Dutch, French and German people.

It will a long time before we have fibre optic from BT as I live in Glasgow, when I asked BT when will we get FO broadband, they were unsure of the time limit. To crown it there is a Virgin cable box next Building to me. But when I asked Virgin if we could get FO into the building, they replied the building had to be up more than 10 years. What a waste of time time asking any one.
