Something really needs to be done about host advantage in this game. It's absolutely atrocious. I played 3 games today before I wanted to break my disc in half. 36 shots from a Scarab into host (only full green bar) without him being in armor mode. I got tick marks for every single shot. I died after he shot me twice, while I WAS in armor mode. You tell me what's wrong with that picture...

And it's not a one time thing either. Host is a tank. Period.

The host advantage and the method on how the host is selected does need to be sorted but I think you are exaggerating a bit, it's not that bad. Still, I understand your frustration. Multiple update have been rolled out already so it's great to know that they're hard at work.

Under normal circumstances, one would probably think I was exaggerating a little bit. However, the sad thing is I am not. I looked before I died and saw I had 4 shots left in a clip. It happened that entire game. Everyone else died fine, except for host who could take 95% of a full 40 shot clip and live. It wasn't just that one scrappy host either, it happened multiple games. Host advantage is unbelievable in Crysis 2.

Not only is it frustrating, but it makes absolutely no sense. If you pull host, you basically have 300% health off the break. Something really needs to be done, and fast. There are a lot of issues with the multiplayer aspect that is making me have second thoughts about buying this game.

Actually it is that bad, I open fire, hitting every shot, and yet the guy turns and shoots me once and I'm dead. it seems like they have MG damage and I have Visor Damage.

I hope they are aware of it so they can fix it.

It's bad.

Theres hardly anyone playing online,reminds of AVP,everyone was playing for a week and then.......nothing.
FFA is awesome but team deathmatch is not suited to the nanosuit abilities,i find some of the maps are too small.
Dont get me wrong,crysis 2 is a good game but i can hear COD calling me back,i really thought crysis 2 would have broken COD'S reign as supreme emporer of console gaming(Halo does not count,its been milked since the almighty Halo 2).

You are right.
Yesterday i shot 4 time in the head the host (the only with the full green bar) and he didn t die....ridicolous!
This problem has to be FIX!!!
Crysis 2 is the better alternative to CoD, but there are some online problems
I ll wait 15 days, then i ll send to buy Mortal Kombat!!
Waiting GEARS of WAR 3 beta testing

Agreed. Whoever is host has Nanosuit 4.1, which is invulnerable for the first 13 bullets. A great game that is really being held back by flaws in Gameplay and UI. CoD is bs, but has never had host issues like this because it takes so few bullets to kill someone. Too bad the "Petition for DS" thread is locked. Someone should make another. I'll give this game until the Gears beta, after that it goes back if I don't see changes.

I always have a terrible or average game when I'm host.

Don't know why, must be a mental thing considering the consensus on host advantage.

I never had problems murdering the host with bullets.
of course i have seen issues where i would shoot full mags into someone just to have them one shot me. but I blame lag in the entire match in general.
If host was so advantageous, why haven't I seen the host come out in the top list of players after the match?

Maybe it's just me, maybe i just have a good connection and don't suffer an extreme disadvantage.
Maybe I rock my socks off every day i play Crysis2 and overcome the host's advantage with pure 1337 5k177z.
Even if i did run into a room with a certain player whose nearly bulletproof, it's easy to change lobbies and find a room with an all-over decent connection.

and if the problem still follows you around after all that, then maybe you should work on lowering your ping times and latency. You know... Doing something about your problems.

I am the same. I get picked host 8 times out of 10 and I do very badly. In the beta, I was getting a host advantage but not any more.
