.. You all have a very distorted view of how online matches work.
The host serves the game to everyone else.
A server would host the game to everyone.
Saying "host sucks" doesn't make any sense. .. At all..
Yeah, screw host. We'll just uh.. Run off nothing.
Now, you could say "Host advantage sucks", which would make sense.. But still, you can't really get rid of host advantage. It's just part of online gaming, and host really doesn't determine matches more than 90% of the time.
i don't think you understand my friend. the reason people hate the host idea is because in "serving" the game to everyone in the party you get the best response from the system. have you ever been playing a game online when you shoot someone in the head with the sniper rifle and their shield blinks, but they keep running? that is typical of a host situation. simply because on the hosts system, which is the "server" of the game, he has already moved past that spot, depending on your connection and the host's connection you may see what happens as quickly as it resolves on the host system.
which is why so many hated people who bridged host. if they had a weak connection it would kill everyone elses.
