Don't get me started on how many times it picks the worst person for host when there are about five people who could support it fine.

I once had four switches in under ten minutes, all four hosts being removed with each one, all four hosts being so laggy it was scary.

I don't see how it could host boot your entire team and only some of the other team.

Two of our guys were still in the game I think, they just quit since it's a waste of time for them.

In order to pull host all the time, you have to be Mexican, have dial up, or quit out a lot.

That is still better than world splits.

You end up spending the time playing and then after it's all over you go check the stats and the game with three people in it counted more than the one with 7 people.

Ugh, those are worse than the game I linked.

Some legit new player with a hostbox and the -blam!-iest connection lags out into a separate game, and you get a loss. lol this game.

Yeah we were in the game loading black screen for like 2 minutes, than every one except me and shockwave got booted, we both quit at the start though.

One person quit in the lobby and the other must have quit in the loading screen what booted every one.

Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

Gotta love those third-world country hosts.

Opinions are like butholes. Everyone's got one, nobody wants to hear about it.

Host-picking and migration suck in this game. It's almost like they purposely give it to the person who's most likely to quit or have the worst connection.

Didn't you know, that's exactly how this game picks host.

I don't remember this kind of crap in Halo 3..

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

Refer to my signature.

In Halo 3 it would only attempt to switch host when there was massive lag.

Reach also takes into account which team has the player with host and switches it to the other team if the host's team is winning.

Sometimes this system will keep a game on a bad host because it is already on the enemy team and other times it will switch from a good host to a bad host because the good hosts team is winning.

Flawless logic.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

This game hates it when I'm host.

H3 loves my host.

H3 loves my host.
I pull host almost all the time in Halo 3. -blam!- ridiculous host in that game.

Lol. I'm so used to playing as host in H3 now. If I don't pull host, I'll do significantly worse.

Made this To5 mad as -blam!-
^ Only time I do well is on host.

  • 02.28.2012 1:29 PM PDT

Most of my BTB losses are because of -blam!- like that.
