Subject: This game is so good at picking a good host

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.


Is that why when ever I run BTB in 8's and the other team start rage quitting, the one that is going to quit next always pulls host? So we go through 6 or so black screens before anyone on my team pulls host?

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

You seem upset

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Takes me like 300 consecutive games for FF for me to pull host in this game, I don't -blam!- know why but it just does that.

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.


Host is determined whether you're from a foreign country (from the Live Servers) or not. If you're American in a game with anyone from Australia, South America, Europe, or Mexico, consider yourself screwed most of the time.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

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.


REACH network code is a million times better than Halo 2.

In a game with 7 aussies 1 american. American gets host. Yeah you are wrong.

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

Actually, when you think about it, my host formula explain that perfectly.
