When is this coming out to fix connectibity issues? It's really annoying having the host leave the game before the match even starts, took over 10 minutes to get a game going yesterday :(
 
There is a patch in the works (has been since before christmas) and they've never given a date, only pretty much saying it'll be done when it's done.

I haven't heard anything about the patch containing fixes for connectivity though - only extra cams for the kill cam (ie from airstrikes and grenades) and a few other things.

The problems you were having is because the game's multiplayer is essentially peer-to-peer, so obviously if the host leaves the whole game is cancelled. There is no software fix.
 
The patch was done and failed certification in January so they have to go through the process again :(

Halo 3 is peer to peer and that just passes hosting onto the next best connection.
 
Yeah, that's one of the fixes going in and the most important as there's nothing worse than the host quitting mid game.
 
I hope in this patch they will filter out all those god dam yanks, no disrespect to the minority of them who are all right. And they bring lag to the game.

They should also sort out those hackers who have a minus kd ratio and stupid high scores.

Whilst you're there, why not just block everyone? Maybe what you want is the SP campaign.

I agree with him in a way, It would be nice if you got matched with people from your location (or at least Europe) to keep the pings down - this is one thing I miss from PC Gaming, the low pings.
 
I've never had a problem in over 30 hours of online time in relation to lagged games, high pings or any problems relating to Americans.
 
Well I disagree, I can certainly tell a difference, especially with the bullet reg, when playing with friends in the UK, compared to playing with random people from other countries.
 
Felix check out the global highscores on the 360, go on to leaderboards then press x or y and press x or y to go to the top of the list for all 4 of the categories, theres one guy with stupid amount of kills and go on to the kills and do the same again.

Yes your probably right im exaggerating but its so antisocial and annyoing to hear imature kids whining on and the majority of the time they are from north america. And worst of all they dont talk about the game and help others out on any game types. This is a sweeping generalistation but from my expirence this is what i feel. Im sure there are north american players who dont abuse people and annoy them but its a shame they are in the minority.

I have a decent internet with pings of 20 to bbc.co.uk and i can fire full clips into people and they dont die. They also move very jerkily which doesnt help anyone.

These problems only ruin the mp a small part, i throughly enjoy it.
 
Bullet reg is massively affected by your latency in this game. Playing in a match where the host is in the US you're at a considerable disadvantage in my experience.
 
Nothing against American's personally. Kids in general (whatever nationality) tend to be quite annoying, singing or making stupid noises down the mic.

Yeah I know what you mean about the leaderboards, but I've never played with any of them and I'm WAY too far down to be bothered about them anyway! Rankings I mean. My housemates and I have just done 1 level of prestige mode and we're going to stop now and just enjoy it.
