Has anyone else noticed this? You start a game where everyone is redbar, then about a quarter of the way in, someone with a '0000' service tag quits out and the host changes to something playable?

It's always like that for most of my games.

Well at least the game connections aren't horrible. Since 'bad' is a far more mild version of 'horrible' and you combined the two words to make a new, made up one which clearly means the connection is bad, but not quite at the level of horrible.

So at least we have that, neh? That's good. And the system changes the host after too, which is even better!

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

Nope, it's your bad Aussie connection :)

Laggiest game I've ever played and everyone but 3 guys on the other team lag out. -blam!- hostboxes giving people with dial up host.

Somehow the lolAmericans such as yourself were teleporting around as well, so it's not just my colonial connection. :P

Give it time for the host record to be updated. It's still better than normal lag in many other games.

<3 losing games due to a combination of down syndrome teammates and a tryhard on the other team having a hostbox with dial-up connection.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I hate all the lag too.
