It's way to big,you dont have to lead your shots anymore....
I'm always winning because of that.

Cant we fix it so that the host has to lead his shots too?

no the only things that would help is:
a) play on a dedicated server
b) have everyone get better connections

Leading your shots isn't intentional...it's due to lag. So I don't really know what could be done about it.

So your saying host should have lag, hr should but they won't. I'm glad i have a good internet speed, I usually have from 30-70 ping so I don't need to lead as much.

My internet speed is only twice the speed of dial up yet my ping is between 60 and 120. Weird. It is usually the second or third best in a game. But than when I play Halo 2 on Xbox live my host advantage is great because the whole game lags... they all think I am a stanbyer but Im not.

ping is not entirely dependant on bandwidth. for example you can have satellite which pings in the second, but is many times faster in terms of bandwidth than 56k, yet 56k pings better.

People always accuse me of cheating and all I do is host. I don't cheat, but I wonder if other people really just suck that bad. Sometimes I get people that are pretty even with me and sometimes I get people that I can't handle at all and make me feel like a noob.

Yes, people really do suck that bad. A few times I had the whole other team accusing me of cheating. Even at the Maw gatherings I get accused of botting.

0 ping is annoying. Especialy if you try to kw. Then the team that loses complains you only won bc of it. Thats why my clan got a dedi on normal halo and halo custom, to spread popularity and so no1 can complain when we beat them :)

People are retarded. There's always going to be some loser who can't deal with the fact that there are better players than him, so he has to accuse good legitimate players of cheating or playing unfairly just because he's insecure. And if they don't know that the host of a game has a significant advantage, then you shouldn't be blamed or have to suffer for their ignorance. Just ignore them. By the way, having to lead your shots when you're hosting? That's a terrible idea. Maybe Gearbox should have made it so that people didn't have to lead in the first place.
