What I meant is that it seems like you should be playing MLG seeing as you think social slayer is so 'cheap', even tho it's all you play.

But apparently you just don't like anything

Don't worry nick I found a game that's perfect for you, there's no lag and the teams are perfectly balanced.

Because when something is popular it has to be good right? LOL

@Skitzy

I only play social because I hate having to wait longer for matches in ranked only to get terrible lag.

The last few times I went into the MLG playlist it was almost always 3-bar European or manipulated host where the average lag was easily over 500ms, not the sort of thing you want to play often.

You seem to have a dent ego since the last LAN, I don't care for whatever your deal is which is why I removed you from my FL.

Dude I've never been anything but friendly to you, If you really want to act like that go ahead, but really? dent ego?

The first time you deleted me you said it was just to 'see what I'd say'. I'm not the kind of guy who bothers playing these little games. You deleted me for good this time? Awesome, I haven't said a peep.

Relax a little, and lets just drop it there.

You can't let lag bother you that much. I'm playing with Americans all the time on Halo 3 because they're my friends from bungie.net and every single game is green bar for them and yellow bar for me. It doesn't bother me, I'm having fun, and it doesn't even lag all that bad.

Actually I've found that American host is the best quality international host for Aussies to play on generally - often even better than our closer neighbours from Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. The worst in my experience is Eastern European host (Finland, Sweden, Italy, France, Germany and Britain), and Canadian host. However of all of those countries listed Canadian and British host probably takes the equal first prize for very worst international host for Aussies to play on and considering their extreme Northern proximity I guess that's not surprising.

So yes I'd play on American host any day over many other international hosts

Now I normally play by myself or with one other late at night due to currently working two jobs so latency is generally 3-4 bar mainly because mostly Europeans are on at that time.

I don't play as frequently anymore and even when I had 100 people on my friends list most of the time hardly any of them were on in the wee hours.

On the plus side I think I've gotten better due to playing on worse connections where I have to out BR my opponents by a fair margin to win a fight.

Yup - that's why going to a LAN is fun for me. It's like cutting through butter with a light saber compared to the cutting through buffalo hide with a Gillette shaver that I'm used to from Halo 3 online.
