[360] Halo Kitty

To be honest I don't really understand this whole bridging thing fully, but I guess, if it applies to networking how I think, then yes, it could be used to alter everything to do with connection to the host, slowing down someone's connection, or preventing it altogether.

However, horrible lag could just be caused by a rubbish connection to the host.

Well from what I looked up, basically bridging seems to be where the host gets an unfair advantage, where he makes everyone else hang, while he's able to still move around and do things. It's like freezing time if you look at it that way.

Well I hope bungie actually does something about these cheaters. And not just make empty threats.

In a nut shell bridging is taking a xbox and connecting it through a computer for it to access the internet. Yes, yes two ethernet ports are needed. The computer along with certain network monitoring software will then be able to "control" who gets host and even lag out other players.

It was originally supposed to prevent the modders from getting host every time, I think. But of course that idea backfired and only gave the cheaters in general another toy to play with.

For those of you who get a chance to hop on today, be sure to check out the special 27 hour playlist.

We managed to get a game before we ended our session about an hour ago, and it was a fucking blast.

Basically. Other players can essentially be booted from the games too, if they force host. I get host often, so as you can imagine the only way to steal it at times is to forcibly boot me from the game. There have been other times when they've tried to bridge me through an entire game so the whole game essentially lags and I'm red barring for most of the match. It happened several times last night and fucked over my connection (residual lag) to legit games.

Hey it's bound to happen. But three games in row? Good lord ._.
I think I've been bridged/stand by'd a lot lately. Ever since I got my 40 skill level most of my ranked matches became laggy as hell. And on several occasions I magically get dropped whenever I started going on killing frenzies and what not.

Yeah, it sucks. But really the most we can do is file complaints, avoid the players via player review and or stop playing Halo 3.

I'm getting to this point unfortunantly for some reason...

My account went back to silver earlier, and right now I'm just interested in Hellgate and AC6, because a bunch of people I know went to that now. I know already that 4 of my friends picked up Hellgate, and one of them is going to be a guild leader. I just can't really do anything at the moment until pay day. I like playing Halo, but it's community as a WHOLE I dislike. I want to keep myself interested in Halo 3, but it's just been dwindling down.

My stomach hurts from laughing too much at that link.

So, yeah.
Some new stuff is underway. In an acceptance video from Bungie ( Gametrailers.com - Halo 3 Full Map Editor and Bots?! by Ace ) Luke shows some frankly bewildering stuff, like AI characters in a multiplayer map. Hmmm.

Horde mode! Campaign Forge! Shits gonna get real(again) in september.


I better stop myself from getting too excited or I'm gonna end up hating it.
