Then it comes to unfair connection advantage. I will explain .... I run up to someone and shoot them in the back with my shotgun ( Gears of War ). Now because my upload speed is so slow, he turns around and sees me, shoots me and because his upload speed is better, his shot counts before mine.

All because his data can reach my Xbox before mine can reach his.

Its complete Bulls***!

VM sort your damn upload speed out .... PLEASE!
I really feel your pain brummyuk!
I have just (within the last week or so) really got into Halo for the PC, now I have tried to host games lots of times, going within the Halo recommedations for the upload slots (aparently 512Kbps for a total of 10 players) but I get complaints over a "laggy server" too and people quit left, right & centre.

I have tried hosting smaller games but the most I can do is including myself 4 (128Kbps) and this is less than perfect, so what I need to know is WTF is going on??
