He's on 360. You get what you pay for though


Also I would like to hear about the host/team advantage.


Obviously the host has a better connection in the P2P system, but how does that give the whole team the advantage? What if the guy sucks?

 

[I LastWish I]

I think your team picks up host if the host is on your team...

If you are on the PS3 and not in The FOOT Clan, then you are at a disadvantage

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I think your team picks up host if the host is on your team...

How does the whole team get host if only one person hosts the match?

This was an issue in Halo 2 MLG matches, even on LAN...but it only affected the person on host. And even then, some MLG players preferred to be (and still do in H3) offhost for whatever reason.

 

[I LastWish I]

The magnetic effect of the reticule is much less off host. And you can't bounce off-map off host with nade explosions. I remember playing so much MLG halo2. Was going to go to MLG NY in 06 lololll

the connection issues are while in the lobby. your party goes into a lobby then when it merges with another party your teammates or their teammates get booted from the lobby so you have to back out again....shit like that....and it happens alot more than it should

host advantage is what it is.....but what i called team advantage doesnt really have a name yet. but basically what people are saying is the team that doesnt have the host has a distinct advantage cause of how IW is trying to balance the game. Easiest way to explain it is that they see things before you see things

example....i am walking straight ahead. I turn right and continue walking. I get shot in the back and die. On kill Cam i see what the guy who shot me saw. On his screen i am walking straight....before i turn right he shoots me in the chest and i die.

you ever see a guy run full sprint around a corner and as soon as he pops around the corner he is already shooting at you. when your sprinting you have to stop sprinting to fire your gun. Watch the kill cam and you see what he saw. He is sprinting around the corner, then he stops sprinting, brings up his scope and shoots you. But on your screen you saw him pop around the corner with his bullets flying

people seems to think IW balances the game by giving the people with the worst connections and advantage. The way they do this is anyone who isnt on the hosting team gets this advantage.

i mostly play hardcore so unless i get the final kill its harder to see. But on Core modes, start watching the kill cam more and you will see what i am talking about.

when playing HC 2 nights ago i got the final kill. I was laying on the ground and a guy came out a door into an ally way. HE was no more than 10 feet away and everyone got to see this bullshot on kill cam. When he came around the corner i couldnt get a headshot cause i was prone and he was to close to aim that high. So i fired my M16 into hsi chest (3 round bursts)....he didnt go down, i fired again he didnt go down....he tried to run past me to avoid the bullets....i fired another burst into his back. He didnt go down. I finally got up on a knee and fired into his head and he died.

I was bitching during this in the game....then realized it was the final kill and when everyone else saw it, they understood why i was so disgusted. its the type of thing people would crucify madden for

in the campaign the mission when your in the russian mall its so niceee

 

[Maynard]

btw....my friend that i play with always is the host...always.....this is probably why i see this crap more than i want too

Same here, I was planning on going to Chicago and practiced FFA's on midship until my eyes bled lol. I was able to get into some FFA's with pros but most of the time I would get booted for someone better

long post

I see. I didn't know about IW doing that, but now that you mention it there have been a few kills where I died knowing I unloaded a lot more and earlier than the other guy yet still died and I'm thinking wtf????

 

[Maynard]

it sounds like this isnt a new thing based on what you mentioned about halo and people wanting to be on the off host team.

Big surprise that happends.

Welcome to what PC players were bitching about.

Yep! Always would get booted for someone better. I remember playing an FFA match with Shockwav3 and my mic was going nuts and I didn't know it. He booted me and took me off his friends list lol

 

[Blade]

How do you know who the host is in lobby or game?

 

[I LastWish I]

Well I get host a lot, and I know this because if I leave a game early it pauses for a second and shows the "find new host" thing. Also, if you hold the back button down when the game starts it shows me/host as the only player assigned to a team, then the rest of the people are assigned teams.

The throwing knife is so fun to use, people get irate about it :bow:

 

[Blade]

I need to practice using those. But I love using the Ninja Pro and Cold Blooded now, I sneak up on people like crazy and slit their throat

I love throwing a knife from 15 feet away and hitting the person dead in the chest. I could just imagine how pissed they are when they see the kill cam lol

Two times in one game last night, this fucking guy on the other team stabbed three people in five seconds and I was the second one to get it each time. His clan tag, predictably - [stab]

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I'm convinced that the FMJ attachment serves no purpose other than to really piss you off when trying to complete a gun.
