this was his word (This is why host shotgun rapes. Try playing a shotgun lan game, it's pretty outrageous.)

Btw, thank you for writing this up for the people that don't know.
if ur connection is good enough at the beginning of a game u will get host connection, if it is not good enough the person with the best upload speed is given host.
Dont argue, i live in the UK where host is the difference between winning and losing, its my business to know about host.

The question is not knowing who has host, but how to steal it all for yourself.

So does this mean that in a LAN game that basically everyone has the affects of "host" due to no internet?

Or is there still delay with the players?

There is no delay whatsoever on a lan game, and everyone has 'host abilities' as you would call it over Live.

The reason you check for host is so you know who has the huge advantage over everyone else in the game. You won't try to out BR that guy across the map, you'll typically try to avoid him unless it's an up close encounter.

TropicalBeast, even if you did read the post, it obviously all went right over your head. You're probably about 13, right? I could see this stuff being too difficult for you to handle.

A writer for Xbox live? Hardly, bungie/microsoft obviously don't think host is that big of a deal, considering in a few WWU's bungie has denied the advantage host has. That and they still don't have their own servers so we wouldn't have to worry about this sh.t.
