Are you gonna play or not rp?

Was shattered yesterday so didn't bother playing. I will be online tonight definitely. Execution mode, maybe a rotation of 6 maps. After 8pm.

to the new people in the thread, add me to your list and I will send invites if I see you online.

P.S. if you don't have a headset, don't bother joining. I am really getting into the teamwork for this game so "Silent Joes" need not apply. :cool:

Finally worked out how to attach the wireless headset to my head *noob*.

Will be around ~7:30 - 10.

Team work? How will you ever be able to beat 109 using teamwork. You will need to play like Rambo.

Has anyone noticed a particular advantage for the host in this game?

I have noticed a slight bit of unresponsiveness when I am not the host (as I am normally the host when I play). However I have not really felt that this has effected my game particularly.

I read on the Epic forums that the Shotgun is notoriously bad when you are not the host, yet when I am not the host I am just as deadly (IMO)

I got a score of 369 with 13 kills

I forgot how many downs and revives. I often have to play as rambo since I'm the last left alive

I think there is something wrong with the game though, it seems to have some sort of grudge against us since we never get put on the same team when we randomize* the teams, but I guess its for the best since the game wouldn't be half as fun if we were team mates.

*even though it hardly ever works

Snow-Munki · 28 Nov 2006 at 16:47

played a few nights ago online for the first time, maannnnn died SOOO many times

Totally different to playing with computer, think i might just stick with that

It would not be fair on everyone else if we were on the same team

. Also 109 is rp2000's greatest ever score (actually I think he has done 164 or something but 109 was the one he bragged about).

I never run off and take the enemy on myself... honest.

Krono is really bigging himself up as of late, think he needs to be brought down a peg or two

Alrik · 28 Nov 2006 at 16:56

Its easier to just embarrass him at Halo

Theres lots on the xbox forum too about host advantages.

You, arlik and cheets are the only people I worry about in this game atm everyone else is cannon fodder*

*or team-mates

Alrik · 28 Nov 2006 at 17:11

The host is always going to have the advantage no matter what. I would like to see in the future is that everyone in the game can exchange the data between each other so that everyone is the 'host' (would work in a similar manner to Bittorrent)

-It would eliminate the advantage the host gets making it fair for everyone
-It would stop the host from being able to make it lag so that he gets an even bigger advantage
-Low upload bandwidth would no longer be such a big issue, meaning huge ammounts of players could be supported in a game without a dedicated server

In theory it could be possible, but of course it isn't going to happen anytime soon or maybe ever at all.

When you eventually play with gord he will be added

he can be so annoying when he is the last left alive, since you can never find him until one of your teammates heads explodes from a sniper round

I think bit torrent works because it is not real-time or time-dependant.

What MS really need are servers, so no one is host. or everyone needs super fast upload/download speed.

Obviously from my end everything seems to run smoothly, but how do other people find it when I host. Do I have some sort of crazy advantage, that I am unaware of?

Edit: I don't need to worry about gord, he has my back.

Alrik · 28 Nov 2006 at 17:21

GoW is fine, ofcourse you hear me moan about how many times I shot you more with the shotgun, but thats to be expected since you will have the advantage. I have only ever experienced lag a couple of times but its not lasted longer then 2 seconds.

Of course I have the advantage, I always have the advantage when I have a shotgun in my hand, regardless of who hosts.
