Host with the Most !!!

In every game Halo or Not people always say HOST or you had host or it was my host - and there’s ways to tell in Halo 3 and Halo Reach although I don’t think most understand how to tell .

So lets make it simple
The HOST for the game is determined in post lobby and when the game starts it shows ALL players abdul what Team they’re on SIMPLE JUST PUT THE HOST on Top .
everyone would see that its
{ insert name of Host } and that way there’s no confusion about it …

This would not matter or change anything its just a little more info for the players to have / some might like it to others it is a stupid idea

So what do you think ?

I kinda like it. It’s always nice to know who had host, and it wouldn’t affect the actual game at all.

> I kinda like it. It’s always nice to know who had host, and it wouldn’t affect the actual game at all.

It would also be nice to know who I should direct anger at when there is a really terrible connection.

Agreed

And in custom games it would help alot as well .

I find it easy to tell if you’re host in Reach, if your bloom resets on spawn you’re host.

Sometimes, it’s not quite so easy to tell who has host if you’re not it, though.

I never really care unless the connection is bad, then just wait till everyone goes yellow besides the one guy still green.

Agree some maybe even most people can tell – But this would make it 100% easy and perfect for all to be able to tell

It wouldn’t add or take anything away from the game it would just add a simple rule to the host story

If its possible, I don’t see why not. If the host is on blue team, blue team is on top with the host being the top slot.

Granted, I’m not familiar if this is possible let alone determining a host if a host swap could possibly occur before the match starts.

^^^^

What is this SIR

I can’t look at this in my phone ??

I agree, although I think they should have an icon or background colour change, even when you see the scoreboard in game.

There is no reason to not have this information highlighted in online gaming. Players cheat and DDOS anyway, also anyone who does that sort of cheating is quite capable of seeing the host IP in simple network monitoring tools. Once again just show us who is host.

It’s a turtle pointing to the words “Good Thinking”, which are written on a chalk board.

Yeah a icon or symbol next to the name in post game stats
Should be easy to add

This idea is simple and would be a nice bit of information for others

Also I can’t really see a down side

COuld end a bunch of trash taliking between little kids.

Just like most games :slight_smile:

> COuld end a bunch of trash taliking between little kids.

Agreed This would end alot of silly things

  • It would just be a nice addition to the MM and custom game systems

See who is host at the start or every game would be great

And it doesn’t seam like it would be hard to add into the system although im not sure as I haven’t made any video games

Only time will tell

You’ve got the right idea
