I have been a Haloist now for 3 and a half years and yes I can admit towards the end of H3 the upload bandwidth was a little limited, however, as 343 have taken over Halo: Reach all I seem to get is kids jumping across the screen trying to hit them with a DMR that seems like it's shooting out boogerballs, its a total joke.
The guests have the mics and usually are the better than the party leader gamertag, it makes no sense. Most of the lobby's I am playing with are Mythic and over and I can understand if i get 5 shotted, however, after pumping a full DMR clip into someone and they still rush you and pummel you to death is a little far fetched. I don't know if 343 are trying to give everybody an even and balanced game but explain the nade's and health to me, full health and 1/2 shield surely doesn't mean you are 1 shot and throw a nade for an enemy to walk over and they live, they throw one at you and you die?! I just don't understand it. It never used to be this way.
Almost finished with this post but one other thing, stop jacking hosts at gamestart, by this I mean, as soon as the game starts a new host is selected, pick the host in the lobby, and if the host leaves and forfeits the game don't give a fresh start to the game, all the work you put into map control and teamwork is taken away from you because you are dominating.
343 I think you have taken over something you cannot handle as there are some people out there who play Halo for other than social reasons, I fully understand the social aspect of Halo but there is also a large group of us who play competitively and trying to play 4v4 with all of the above points makes me want to cry.
I hate you 343, bring back Bungie, ban my gamertag do whatever you have to do, but, at least listen..
You have messed this game up..
