Annoying Host's.....

[Hyperchao]

Yes yes by now I know and everyone who is left in the gears commuity has issues or somthing to say about host and I know I'm not the first to bring up the issue.

Today I played all happy because I havent played for a while, huuuuuge laggy game camped and stayed hidden then host quit which in my case was good


So me and my friends played another match all happy little lag (as theres usally some if your not host) we were winning not by much most of the time making it a fun fair game. So we get to the second round and start owning were 179-103 then I realise everyone is running into walls meaning host quit, which now means I wasted so much time for nothing cause some person can not handle a loss or to mess up his K/D ratio which to behonest to me dosn't make a player look good.

So many people have ideas for host quitting mine maybe the same.

Host quits they lose 5000 xp and get no xp while the people who lose connection because of the host quit get their xp and everyone else including host gets there K/D's


P.S my English is bad :P

[Phailyur]

I second this!

[WalX]

maybe a little to harsh , i agree with quit penelties but 5000, what if you experince a power cut or your xbox freezes/crashes

i think if the host quits he should not get host for another 10-20 games

[Hyperchao]

Yeash but I'm sure when that happens you don't lose poiints happend to me before.

actually how about we all get like halo 3 muitiplayer system. It would make things balanced
No more ****ing same overpowered host.

If one Host left or quitted or dced blah blah bullshait details, select the other host *not with ****ty lousy 56k phone line tone up lolcatz connection* Computer use ur ****ing microchip brain. then we can keep this game going.

Believe it or not but there is actually a host advantage in Halo 3.
But it is very minor.....not many people notice it.
Same with CoD.

although this has happened to me too an i do agree, i must admit that an other issue bothers me a lot more.
When i'm in a game and there's like a full second of lag, i 'll quit plain and simple.
Now this happens quite often, so my problem is why the f* should i get -1500 XP for quitting out of a game that really even can't be called a game?
I play for fun but you see lots of lag = no fun at all = no reason to be playing. Plus my teammates that i'm leaving behind, they get a totally lag-free bot to replace me. The bots aren't great, but better than me in that situation anyways. and they can switch weapons faster than i can blink my eyes
It's just sad:
-90% of the games the shotgun is totally irreliable
-60% of the games i can't get a shotgun kill at all (in 2/3 rounds of Annex)
-10% of the games i can't even get a chainsaw kill. You know this, you keep running circles around the guy, chainsaw revving and nothing happens. then you die. gib. i mean that's not even a videogame anymore
I know this adds up to more than 100% but one case can include the other so don't start with me on that

Dont quote me on this dude, but Im pretty sure if you just D/C your modem if youre in a laggy game, you wont get the -1500. My son has unplugged my modem before on accident while I was playing public game and I never got it. Then again, I HAVE gotten it without quitting at all, so who knows. Very inconsistent.

what you said is probably true. i've also found out that just turning off the xbox will not result in penalty but rebooting really sucks anyway.
I vote for a "GET ME OUT OF HERE I'M LAGGING LIKE HELL" option in gears 3.
You could have the game test the connection and if you're indeed lagging heavily it could absolve you of penalties.
Or no (real) lag would also be welcome, but i'm a realist...
