Getting host is a nightmare for me

Anyone else pull host all the time..and your screen slows down and glitches throughout the match. I'm ******* tired of this. I paid 60 bucks and the map pack and I can't even enjoy it.
You and just about everyone else does. If you have a decent connection you will pull host just about every time. Just don't be like 70% of the other users and try to manipulate your connection to avoid being host, it just makes matters worse for everyone.
I can have my laptop running downloading things and running streams and I still pull host.
Yeah the framerate goes to **** when host, can't even turn without it being jerky. Plus being half a second or more behind enemies there's pretty much no chance of having a good game.
Yea its so frustrating...this morning my play session was fantastic, I guarantee you I wasn't host.
If you can get into your router settings switch off upnp, this does not mess up other peoples games but it will stop you from getting host all the time. You will still get the odd game as host but nowhere near as often.
I will try that..will that mess up any of my other settings with my internet and ps3, etc.
That should give you a moderate / strict nat, unless you have a dmz setup or manually opened up mw3 ports in your router settings. In gaming generally it's best to have an open port, for mw3, not so much do to lag comp and the hosting situation.
I have a dmz setup because even though in modern warfare 2 and black ops it said my nat type was open I couldn't connect to other strict or moderat nat types so I put it in DMZ and now I can connect with them.
It shouldn't mess anything else up at all, it hasn't for me. Try it and see, Good luck.
They either make me host or they pick a horrible host that gives everybody lag problems (3 bar at best) and lag spikes. I rather be the host atm, but that can go shi-t fast too. I love being a client 4 bar player in a room full with 4 bar players..
This also started for me about 3 to 4 weeks ago so maybe a patch made it worse.
