does anyone know if bungie is gonna create a host serve type of thing or just give an individual host so they can cheat and all that bull-blam!-?

They are going to have a hamster, that runs on a treadmill. The treadmill will power the server, for your games. How does that sound? That way you are the special one, and no one can cheat you.

Noone "knows" save for the lucky few who work at Bungie, but it would be a good idea as long as the host system is maintained for custom games. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to pick the map and rules for it, it would just be the crappy "join the unranked game that you like best" crap from Battlefeild.

well of course they grind up all the meat from the modders and feed it to the hamster, what better way to:

1. Get rid of modders and
2. make sure the hamster doesnt die

Bungie is not using servers. Microsoft is. We. Will. Play. On. Microsofts. Servers.

Saboteur.

Although this is slightly off topic, but around the idea of hosting games. Bungie should adapt optimatch games, similar to ones you find in battlefield and in a lot of other games, including rainbow six, splinter cell etc...You probably know what a mean. But instead have unranked games, or custom games, hosted by a person, and have ranked games hosted by bungie, so there is there inconsistency in weapons, of that you would find in halo 2 in many circumstances.

Well, they would probably need about 50 servers to host all of the games to be played, and that in itself may just meltdown the internet in Redmond.

I think we should just be happy with our stats server. If i had my wish we would dedicated servers but it's just not cost effective. A stats server and an anti-cheating server would pwn!
