You only played 431 games....
I have played thousands of games in Halo 3, and I get sick of people blaming the connection. You actually CAN win, even if you don't have host, it only takes SKILL.
The only problem I have, is playing against Australians and Kiwis..Only played that many games on this account. ;) Back before I had broadband Internet, I played offline and online at friends' houses. Even played (won most) local tournaments starting in 2003. That account doesn't accurately measure how much time I spent with the game, trust me.
It does give a significant edge towards players who have a host connection. Definitely when they're "Australians and Kiwis". While it then takes more skill for you to win in that situation, it takes far less skill for them to kill you. That's why it's imbalanced.
Like I said before, it doesn't bother me personally. I'm used to Halo: Combat Evolved PC which took a hell of a lot more to lead your shots. This problem doesn't even phase me but I can look past my specific situation to see how it does effect the overall game and how hitscan works better for this in an online situation. I'd love to see if there's a way to make it hitscan in online play while leaving it projectile based while playing LAN. That would be optimal.
