Subject: Host banned from all Halo games.

The xbox I have is second hand, I bought it off a friend a year or so ago. Recently I have just started to play halo competitively again and have noticed that the console I am using is banned from gaining host and this a big dis-advantage as most players have the upper hand on me when playing against them. It is not a problem with my internet connection as I have a 32 mb line with virgin media and all Xbox related ports are open, also I am able to get host with ease on Call of Duty games. If someone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

If this is the wrong section please move my thread or tell where to post, thanks.

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

I would get a new Xbox. Who knows what record it had before you owned it.

I'm not buying a new xbox just for host on halo. Is there any members or bungie or 343i that I could private message to talk to about this?

Bungie is not involved in Halo anymore, other than maintaining this forum, so you could try the 343/Waypoint forums.

Even if you do that, they won't help.

Bottom line, that's the downside to buying second hand.

Besides, I bet you don't have a solid connection to hold host anyway.

Like i stated in your thread over at 343i you need to have many games recorded where you are host to your console's host ID and that all players had some what good connection from you. This will take many games befor you are able to get host almost every game and based on how rarely you get host for it to record your host history this will be a long process.
May i ad that my buddy has 90 mb up but due to the stupid host history thing on Halo he rarely gets host, but just like you said pop in CoD and host. CoD selects the best connection and doesn't use the BS host history stuff MS came up with.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

Man up, I never get host and I still raype.

/facepalm

Mark, when you have host, trust me, you'll know. And you may be targetted and get a lot of black screens.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Most of my games are off-host and I still play fine.

Maybe if you were actually good, you wouldn't need to rely on having host to play well.

The Host connection belongs to the player with the best connection in the game.

If you don't have host at all in MM, then that is because your internet connection is terrible.

I rarelys get host just like you. All I have to say is "Deal with it"

My stats

I'm retired

Host isn't that big of a deal. I used to pull host every game for like 5 months straight. Now I don't pull it anymore.

Get over it.

And if it's a game type with timed rounds, your timer will reset back when teams swap sides, everyone else will show the same time the last round ended at, until gameplay resumes.
