Host History = Easy Fix? 343 Explain Please

Hi 343,

I hear everyone always say ‘but 343 refuses to use host history (or best connection?) for no reason’… (or something similar to that).

What exactly does this mean?

Better question: This is clearly a difficult fix to ACTUALLY implement, correct? I mean, obviously otherwise it would have been done by now.

Please elaborate on what the fix would entail to educate the player base about why this is more difficult than it seems. Obviously a better connection is desired by players and 343 alike; and it it were easy I’m assuming it would be done. I read TONS of posts that just say ‘but they refuse to…’ so it got me thinking, we need this cleared up so we know why ^ (and ultimately stop falsely accusing -Yoink!- / 343 for not doing the ‘easy fix’ b/c they ‘don’t care’ or whatnot).

I know you care so enlighten us (:

Thank you,

I don’t know but I do imagine it being difficult to implement/fix. All I know is people prefer to blame 343 over their own internet connection and that host boxes are capable of stealing host if the player with a host box joins in progress (which is a very bad thing).

A simple fix would be to add a Regional Filter. That would see the game getting on its first steps to recovery.
