Here are my stats. The download number is misleading as Comcast offers an extra "burst" of speed for the first 10 MB of any download.
 


I win.

Well, except for my uploads. I've seen my ISP put caps on my upload before for some reason.

EDIT: I lose against Big Fun!
 
haha what the christ. "Professional video gaming" isn't some respected sport filled with intellectuals. It's about shooting giant metal marines with purple guns and rocket launchers. I mean I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a community of people who want to read a 31,000 word thesis about a Halo movie would also over-think some goofy kids donging on each other in a video game.

Dude, get the boost package.

My connection is TERRIBLE. I can almost guarantee I've never hosted a match, and I know that no matter whose party I've been in and we've went to the theater it's never said I had the best connection. :lol

I always found it amusing in all the H2H games I played that whenever someone quit it always went to the black screen, heh.
He's telling the truth. It's almost as bad as mine! Actually...probably not. Pretty sure mine is worse. :lol

Edit: Also, my total games are 2353, and I have a total of -35 EXP. I probably quit out of 3 or 4 games at the most.

Guys, when it comes to online gaming your ping is more important than your colossal DL speed. And the closer you are to the west coast, the better.
Then I'm in the lead with 7 and I'm on the West coast. Give me host Bungie!

Gaming is ping and upload speeds.

3 of those guys threatened to hack my account because.. I didn't play too well that game.

WeeWoo25
SNYP3R x85
and maybe someone else. I'll instigate a message back about it.

I hate being targeted just because of my recon :(
When did you score the recon?

I'd recommend putting your live id on a separate hotmail/msn account so if you get hacked you dont loose an email account you use. When you set it up, use fake information that doesnt match up with anything that can be linked to you... that way the internet detectives cant crack it without some dumb luck. I have filled out my profile with the absolute least amount of information, and made the answers to my questions nigh impossible. Even my names are fake.

Holy shit, Eazy, you'd make an awesome host.
No doubt, my hosting records from launch until the beginning of Summer should have been great. They must have reset them during the summer when I had my shitting home connection.

Bungle, please reset host records.

You're in WA, right? That's even better.

Fact is Americans usually get host, and having to cross the Atlantic ocean and then the breadth of North America to talk to US connections via the XBL servers in Seattle is sort of a bitch and tacks 100-200ms onto European pings.

Imagine if every time you had a sword-sword or shotgun-shotgun or melee-melee encounter you were 1/5th of a second slower to react than your opponent.
 
Since everybody else is doing it, might as well post mine.

I love campus networks. Halo is many times more fun with a good connection.
 
334290045.png

My results.
I have real-time bandwidth monitoring setup on my router and I sometimes peek at the graphs while playing and online gaming doesn't use as much bandwidth as you'd think. The problem is people are sharing their connections with other people in their home networks and leads to their connections being over saturated. When I go online to play I make sure no one else is using my connection, and use QoS to give my 360 priority over every other device on the network. I NEVER GET HOST. What method does Bungie use to decide who hosts matches? I don't think it's working correctly most of the time.

Doesn't really matter what connection you've got if everyone else has got 56k.

yeah, but at least you have the feeling knowing that you have the good connection and that it is other people's faults for making you lag every other game and blaming your loss on them. :D
 
Its not better than Havoc's University Connection, but I am pretty sure I have one of the best connections both ways(download and upload) in this thread.

Edit: How the fuck does Omlet get host in our Custom games? wtfisthisshit.gif

Holy shit nuttter!
That's a fucking connection alright
 
Depends on what kind of router you have. Check in the QoS (Quality of Service) settings, where you should be able to prioritize service to specific MAC addresses on your network.
 
Verizon FIOS :D not quite as good as Nutter's but close...

334310244.png


Comcast speedtests are bullshit BTW (I used to have them as my ISP), they have something called "powerboost" which doubles your download/upload speeds for only the first 10 MB of a file. Makes speed tests with them very misleading. A more accurate way to find your true speed would be to download a larger (50mb) file.
 
Go into the router http://192.168.2.1 usually and then find your Xbox's IP the host name usually starts with none-SOMETHINGHERE. Thats your Xbox.

Then there should be some box to enter priority of machines. My router of course doesn't have that.

Know how I'm always complaining about the sniper games? I had a game where I was playing out of my MIND :lol

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=770608728&player=MIMIC880 MVP (19 kills, more than the General on my team :D), 2 Killing Sprees, 2 Sniper Sprees, 1 Killing Frenzy and 1 Sharpshooter. 11 headshots total.

This will probably never happen again :lol
You see, all those sniper games payed off. Imagine how good you'd be if you hadn't quit out of half of them earlier? Once again, I called it.

Don't you think you're being harsh on the kid. I mean he didn't even quit out of 40 games; just 38.

wow - i'm pretty sure i have the same service you do from charter. nice - how hard is it to set up QoS on say a nice D-link router?
