[QUOTE="mazdero"][QUOTE="V4LENT1NE"]I just talked about lag in another thread, here goes so everyone will get it, not being rude but some people just dont accept host advantage. Host has 0 ping, he is the host and therefore is the server, his actions will register on the server instantly............because he is the server, everyone else will have distance lag, lag is determined by, distance, host and internet connection speed. Everyone else has to send their information to the host, meaning there will be delay from them.....................to the server, meaning lag, there is no such thing as no lag unless you are host or on lan, please dont say you dont lag online because that is 100% not true(unless host as stated), so the host will be a bit faster, his shots will land instantly and his actions are pefectly on time, everyone else on the other hand will have a slight delay meaning there shots and other actions will not be detected on time, therefore the host gets a matrix style advantage as if everyone is slightly back in time, and that is host advantage............V4LENT1NE
I think its more than that. I have confirmed numerous times that a host has shot me down from far with the shotgun with one shot. I have asked, and they confirm they only shot once. They also confirm that I shot them numerous times from close with the shotgun, and they did not die. They say,"yeah dude, that was nuts. You shot me right in the face and I didn't die". So Lag is a problem, but I think they actually get a power advantage as well.
Nope, on your screen it looks like you are hitting them in the face, but on there screen you will have barely touched them, because the shot will have taken time to register giving them time to get away. And the being close thing is also very simple, again thank the lag, notice that sometimes when you down someone they lag into a closer position than when you killed them? Thats because on there screen they were much closer to you but the lag is causing distance due to slow registration, the host has no peformance advantage, just connection advantage. And thats why Gears is spoiled by lag.........
Well unless they create a way to host hundreds of thousands of gears games on a giant server...there will always be host advantage. Thats any game on the 360.
