Subject: Searching "Good Connection"

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

I search "Good Connection" - as a New Zealander - and I get Mexican host (followed by French host, which was worse, which I didn't think was possible).

So either no one plays this game in Oceania anymore (possible) or "Good Connection" is not very strenuous.

There is never any "Good Connection".

Every single pummel I have is unboosted.
I play GGL. (Grifball)
I hit inheritor 14/1/12. 16 months after release. I have a life fellas.
Every single killionaire I have is unboosted. 22 from grifball, 4 from LD.

Keep in mind Australian or NZ host is about as trustworthy as Mexican host connecting to American host. Then again we a much farther distance than Mex is to USA.

French host was the worst experience I have ever had in Reach. It's like everyone else was Nightcrawler with a BFG while I was equipped with a wad of wet bus tickets to defend myself with.

Huh?

I have only had problems with the good connection filter when an Australian/New Zealand party leader would search with a foreigner and the foreigner would then pull host (as far as I am aware the good connection filter only looks at the party hosts connection).

Out of curiosity how often does this happen to you?

Until recently, only rarely. Three times in the last week though, and tonight I got mexican host even though it was more or less peak hours.

I'm not looking for a solution (I can't imagine there is one short of blocking entire IP ranges at my router), just sharing my bemusement. Perhaps Reach just really wants me to stop playing it.

I'd go with this, I've already given up on Reach pretty much. I've started playing H3 again and for some reason I get host like 9/10 games so I get good gameplay and a good netcode, best of both worlds : )

I don't think there is any hope for you being where you are unless you get a local host or someone with an uber leet connection.

  • 12.27.2011 1:59 AM PDT

Please...stop getting butthurt when I noscope you from the passenger seat of the vehicle I'm riding in :D

I typically find that ANY host that isn't US/Canada, is really bad to play on when in the US.

The connection issues really are not as bad as people are making it out to be. If you wanted to vist some lag go play Halo 3.

They should just make an HLG playlist then you guys can hide against each other and see how much fun it is.

When I search by Good Connection I usually get worse connection than I normally get.

Brutes aren't monkeys, Brutes are gorillas. Humans are monkeys, and Spartans are Orangutans.

I just don't get it.

343 has like 25 playlists now, with 30-90k players on?

Team Slayer is barely above 10k at peak times.


What do we have to do to make them realize THEY NEED TO CONSOLIDATE PLAYLISTS?

Wankers.

There's isn't any "uber leet" connection that could matter, since it's mainly DISTANCE between players that causes the lag.

We need to have FEWER playlists so players have a higher chance of meeting people closer to them. That's all.


343 need to get their lameass thumbs out of their butts.

Tell that to me and my party of friends. Almost all matches played last night were terrifying. I hadn't seen lag that bad since I had my bad router.

Jeez, the worst, laggiest match I ever had on halo 3 using my bad router paled in comparison to what happened last night.
