Host advantage.

Post » Tue Nov 25, 2008 1:23 am

Yet another game that the host advantage outweighs any aspect of skill in this game. You can be the sneakiest, smartest, strongest player in the game, but if you run into the host, you're done.

Developers really need to find a way to make P2P games that don't give host that much of an advantage. Now, I know that they will get an advantage if they're host no matter what, but you couldn't really see a problem in MW2. Black Ops is a different story though, if you're host, you dominate.

Totally agree - it's a joke, but as much time as you want into developing a unique system and pretty graphics, but then screw everyone who enjoys a decent multiplayer over by using P2P.

Selling the game next week - unless I hear news about us getting dedicated servers for the game. Which is a shame, because I'm actually enjoying it, but I refuse to play a game where the biggest factor on the game is who is host and who is not.

The more I play this game's MP, the more I grow to hate it. It's worse than Black Ops and I pretty much despised that game.

the Majority of the games i played yesterday (when i wasn't the host) i saw the host near the bottom of every broad..

now i am not saying they have an advantage. just its not that huge. most of the trouble is coming from Server lag which effects everyone.

I dont know how many games where i been the host and the kill cam should me or my attacker doing something COMPLETELY different then when actually happened on my screen

Happens even when you're not host and it's so aggravating. I just can't wrap my head around playing a game where what I'm seeing on my screen, does not necessarily reflect what's happening in the game.
