Weird. Whenever me or the people I play with pull host we always seem to do much better than normal. I always know if I pull host too, I don't just guess.

How do you KNOW that you pulled host? Watching who gets the signal bars first in the lobby doesn't work like it did in Black Ops. What's your trick to KNOWING you pulled host in MW3?

Leaving the game and watching the host migration. I dislike having host so I often leave. It is a unfair advantage over the rest of the lobby.

Hahaha! I was really hoping you had some trick to knowing for sure that you'd pulled host without leaving the game and watching the host migration; Everybody knows that!

So how do you know you have host BEFORE you've left the game that makes you say to yourself, "I know I've pulled host and I don't like it because it gives me an unfair advantage over the rest of the lobby."?

You have to have a way of knowing BEFORE you leave the game, because otherwise you wouldn't leave the game for having an unfair advantage, right?

Oh yes, I just remembered. 1 way I can tell if I am host or not. My connection will randomly start to skip a few times a day for about 10 seconds. When I am not host it only affects me. As host the same thing happens to everyone in the lobby.

What do you mean, your connection starts to skip?

I have never heard anyone ingame be it a random or a friend complain about how being host makes them do worse.  I come on these forums at least once a week to see what is going on and I have seen few posts about how host power is bad in MW3. It must not be for everyone, because for me host power is the same as ever.
