So i maxed out on GOW3 the other day and put in Halo 3. I hadnt played for almost a year and made some very comical mistakes in RP. Most of the time it was good fun but roughly every 2-3 games someone would just have a crazy host advantage. Id forgotten how extreme this was. I am NOT the best player out there by any means but ive played a lot of FFA in H3 and i can usually spot the host. Ive only played the campaign of Reach and that was like a month after it came out so i would basically be brand new to the game if i buy it, but i need to know 1 VERY important thing first.

Please participate in the poll and add comments if you would like to share extra info. Thanks.

Fun fact: 9/10 users with no linked gamertag are better than you at Halo. That doesn't necessarily mean that I am; but it does mean there's a pretty solid chance.

Netcode is vastly improved from 3 to Reach. It's probably the only thing that is.

Unless it's an apocalypticly bad host, Halo Reach has little to no host advantage.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

I doubt that Halo Reach host is important, Halo 3 host is most important in team swat.

With bloom, Reach host probably gives a bigger advantage. With zero bloom Reach I'd say H3 gives the bigger advantage.

Halo 3 definitely had a huge host advantage. Whenever I pulled host, I was invincible.
