I was wondering if bad ping time goes both ways, as in if I'm the Host, and someone with a bad connection is playing, are there the same issues with hit-detection, just the other way around?

I know from experience how in laggy games shots don't seem to hit the host, but did anyone ever notice how it can be the other way around? How you can be host yet some people seem un-hittable?

I just had a few games as host, and the only person in the lobby with yellow bars I simply could not get a shot to register. Straight up shots, no movement, on stationary target, several in a row. No hitmarkers, nothing. And I thought, lag, totally, until I remembered I'm the host...


Similarly, it often seems to me, that as the Host everything slows down, I move slower, controls seem sluggish, aim is off. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but sometimes it just feels wrong. The same way you can tell in good games that it just feels right. Not with killing or winning, instantly when you get into a game, the controls seem tight, ultra-responsive. But as the Host, it's often the opposite...

Used to be you wanted to be the Host, but now I'm actually sometimes leaving the lobby if I get to be host several times in a row.

Is it even possible that bad connections can interfere with the Host-side? I'd thought it sounds crazy, but it's been happening to me enough now that I'd like to know...

Seems that way for me. It's by far worse in BLOPS 2, but Crysis 3 seems to suffer from a more mild version of host disadvantage.

Sounds like another Crysis 3 glitch

The only significant disadvantage I have when I'm the host, is a lower framerate.

Not so sure about Crysis but i can always tell in MW3 when I'm the host,It's that bad I know every single time.

I had a few matches the other day where I was the host, and I couldn't kill anybody. Everybody was on the lighter greenish yellow bars(3 bars) and I was full green, yet I couldn't kill anybody. I was shooting whole mags into people and they would turn around and one shot me with whatever they were using.

Next match I was with everyone else with lower ping than the host, and I was killing the same people in much less hits. It's definitely bad, I don't want to be host because whenever I am, I always seem at a disadvantage. I'm running on 20 Down - 5 Up, so it's not like my internet is trash, but I always feel so limited when hosting.
