I understand that, which is why I put it in quotations. It's simply not the way I chose to do it because port forwarding is the right way to do it.

I don't think they scaled it at all. IMO the aesthetics are... ok. I get the whole, "ancient training facility" thing, but perhaps a little less decay would have been good. Oh well, it's not a forge map which is the most important thing.

I've set up port forwarding, which is literally the same thing - DMZ is just the "less secure" way of doing it.

I have one of the fastest residential upload speeds available in Canada. ;( I think you can get up to 15mbps absolute max, but that requires you to go with a 250mbps download speed - the ratios in Canada are attrocious.

Ping a server on the west coast of North America, that's why. lol.

Yeah I am aware of how this all works; but I think it's more about what people were saying above. My friend has slower internet than me in the same city, and he gets host very often - must be the record attached to my actual box. I believe I live close to a MS data center (Washington?) - so if the consoles ping MS to determine host (as opposed to each other) then I should have an advantage. My ping is what you see there, if not lower at times - my jitter is between 0 and 1ms and I never have more than 0% packet loss. Really should get host a lot more - I think it has to do with my console.

It's just like.. Why do pay for the good stuff if you're gonna feed me this shitty host??? :frank: Obligatory post your speed test results.

This gametype looks so sick - very refreshing and Halo-esque. I wanna see it in a competitive setting ASAP.

Mario Bros on the NES.

lol? Halo 1 pre-alpha revision 2309 or die ingrates.

Tyler works for AGL, we can pretty much do whatever we want. :bman:

I would definitely come down from Vancouver to attend an event in Seattle. Brad has said though that he couldn't do an event there without help from 343i due to cost/venue size, etc.
