Post: How Many Host Migrations Failed For You?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); On average, tell us roughly the amount of times you've been in a game, and your HM fails.

For instance, today I played some search and destroy. Game starts, and right away the host had nearly the worst connection I've ever seen. It migrates, and after done migrating, chose the next shitiest host in the lobby. We lag, and once again, another host migration. We ended up sitting there for atleast 5 minutes waiting for all these HM to finish, only to have it all fail.

I was plaing GW on Invasion today, and I got an 11 KS. Connection was fine, but literally right when I pulled out the laptop to use my AC130, the host had the WORST connection. Sitting in my ac130, can't even shoot for shit because of lag. I stayed in for about 4 seconds, then host migration appears. I sit there, and boom, failure time. Guess any KS is useless if the host leave.

FML. IW needs to stop going on about how MW2 improved off of cod4 because of the host migration. Half the time you don't know who's host, but in cod4 we just smack talked the host into not leaving because he would look like a bitch. This game, no. It's a load of BS. I don't understand why they can't just chose like 3 different hosts.

Instead of picking the best host it picks the worst.
It goes from a real good connection , them HM then a ****ing asda connection!
IW can suck my balls for all , And they're HM!

only 15% of the time host migration works for me and when it does, it picks an even worse host.

but i guess its better than 'host ended game'

omfg, I hate host migration when it fails, doesn't seem to happen as much in game modes such as TD or FFA, but happens alot in S&Awesome face which bugs me.

it wouldnt be so bad if the host of the game wasnt a whiny bitch and just left the room. instead they PS buttoned out of the game and causes HM to fail almost everytime. you know when the host became that whiny bitch the PS buttoned out of the game when the controls go haywire and you telport back and forth everywhere. if the host just leaves, it's usually fine.
i found that out when my friends ps3 gets unpluged in a private match and its just me and him trying to find new elevators or try to find a new cp glitch or just waiting on other friends that when his ps3 gets shut off i get TONS of lag and teleport everywhere. but if he just leaves then i dont have any issues. its like he was still in the room.

It's because it doesn't pick the person with the best connection to the other users, but the best connection to the IW Servers. As for me, it's succeeded more than it's failed. It fails about 10% of the time for me.

It fails altogether for me, or should I say the players in my game.
It always picks me as host which would be great, but it always chooses a bunch of Americans and Mexicans to get into my game, meaning they all have an awful connection to me.
