I don't know if anyone has ever complained about this, though I'm sure a few have, but I'm going to make myself heard about this issue.

Host Advantage has to stop. There's no point in giving someone an advantage over everyone on the other team. It takes barely, almost no skill to just go around with the shotgun while you're host and shooting everyone. Because I was host once, went around killing everyone with the shotgun and it was SO easy that it was pathetic.

Now, I'm not sure if just the shotgun is the only gun the host has an advantage with, but I've heard the host has an advantage with every other gun.

Now, for those that don't know what "Host Advantage" is, it's when the host's bullets from the shotgun do more damage then normal and no, there's no active reload needed. It's like you already have it. Then when you get an active reload with the shotgun as the host, you're a beast. Which, is why I want Host Advantage to end.

Epic died the shotgun down for one reason, it was too powerful, now it seems they forgot to die down the shotgun for the host. Or maybe Epic doesn't know about Host Advantage. I don't know.

Hell, I don't even know if anyone from Epic will ever read this. I do hope so because this crap needs to end.

for the love of god....listen man, there is a host advantage in damn near ALL games. SOMEONE HAS TO BE HOST...all the info is going out from him/her so they have zero lag with aiming and what not. Get the hell over it. If you dont like other people using host then you host. If you dont like it at all then put your head in the oven and back away from the forums where you cry like a little ass girl because of "host advantage". GOD

It would have been nice if you left out the attitude in your reply. I would have appreciated a mature response.

see its not that he has a beef with you but this is like the millionth thread about it, use a search and see for yourself, it just getting annoying that people dont think to use a search before making a thread.

its less annoying to necromance an old thread about a topic than to generate 1 million clones of the same topic.

Please get rid of hosting in online games. That is all.
