Host thing is awful

I really hate how someone has to be the host..

 

I cant play a single match without either host raging,lost connection to host or host has soo bad connection so everyone else has 1 bar.

I really hate it,sometimes i wish i could be the host (i would deal with host lag) so there is no "host ended the game" or everyone lagging with 1 bar connection.

        I can't, i'm not mentally insane or retarded, so I think Black Ops is indeed 100% better than MW3. MW3 is a noob friendly, horrible maps, horrible spawns, extremely unbalanced game. Black Ops has great maps, decent spawns, sort-of-balanced guns(Famas is debateable....the M16 can easily beat it at close range with some practice....the M16 is the secret OP gun of BO). Its better in every way.

         

        I know I whine and *****.....but that's because I have nothing good to say about MW3. Sometimes I try to re-live the old BO forum days by making a positive thread or two but it quickly gets taken down because turtles or people just ignore it because I'm not whining about FMG9s.

          i agree with pad black ops was way better. How i play is so different between games, on black ops i could go up to 30 kills without dying but on mw3 i can barely make it to 5 without someone using fmg9 or predator missiles.

    Ikr Host is awful. I wish MW3 on the Wii had host migration, but I look at the game and said to myself is that they really didn't care what they were putting to create this. So many hackers,rage quitters and noobs.

    Re: Host thing is awful

    When I get host it ussually teleports me a few feet backwards and forwards like mad so it's unplayable. I think it's compensating for someone dragging everyone down. The game should just kick players with huge ping difference.

     

    Pozdrav v SRB!

      This.  I don't see why you would ever want to host, its terrible.  You lose gunfights where you get 3 shots in before they even shoot you, or you get a billion hitmarkers and they turn and shoot you.  You also lag if other people's connection sucks a lot, and to top it off carbon and village are nearly unplayable if you are host.  You should be happy you never host, all it creates is additional lag for you...

    Why would you want to be host? Unless you have a godlike, cookie-charged router , games feel like Powerpoint presentations...

      Not even then would you enjoy being host.

       

      The wii cannot handle hosting a match with so much sh*t going on. You can have the best interwebz in the world and still have "host lag". W@W and reflex, there was no "host lag"....those games were simple. It all started in BO, when so much things were crammed into the wii.

    Re: Host thing is awful

    I don't notice much, if any lag while hosting. I wonder how many are playing on wireless vs direct connect through a router via cat5 w USB adapter? I have only ever used wired connections, so I don't have a personal comparison. Have any of you run comparison tests between the two? Usually the games I am put in are 80ms ping games.

    Re: Host thing is awful

    I get constant lagg as host in BO i usually leave because i dont like being host, i dont know if its only me that has this issue in black ops, but being host sucks, MWR was proberly the best cod game ever for wii, lagg shooting got a bit annoying at times but, atleast if you were host in that everything run smoothly, i dont play MW3 much but BO every day, i cant seem to get back into using the wiimote, been using the CCP a bit too much :S

    Re: Host thing is awful

    I found out that with this new router I host all the time.  I also found out that if I don't forward my ports, I still host all the time, but for some reason the game runs perfectly fine.  Forward the ports and I either get host lag or I lose my connection to the other players.  Don't forward the ports and it runs perfectly. 

     

    I have yet to find a logical reason for this but whatever.  I also found out that with this router, if I forward the ports, Black Ops has less lag.  Still has some, but it's way better than it was before.  (been playing it a lot because of that)

     

    I also still like MW3 better just because of how much smoother it runs and if you take out the FMG's, I think it's more balanced.  After playing OPS lately without lag, and being able to really see what's going on, I believe the Famas, Aug, and AK74u with rapid fire are overpowered.  Especially the AK47U.  Back to smoothness. MW3 is smoother not just with lag but in general.  It's way less clunky.  Get rid of the hackers and FMG9's and it would be almost perfect.  I hardly ever spawn right next to someone either.  No more than I do on Nuketown in Black Ops anyway so that hasn't been an issue for me.

    Re: Host thing is awful

    That's it, I'm closing my ports.

     

    Ok someone please explain something to me.

     

    What are the signs by which you can tell you're the host? I've found "waiting on other players" and the different countdown but am not sure on specifics.

     

    Is it possible to prevent being the host? I have a 20/20 optics and a Linksys wireless router...

     

    Thx for helpful posts.
