Well here is a tutorial on how to do just that.

1. Pick a game mode with at least 6,000, but preferably 10,000+ players in playlist to reduce chances of getting merged with another lobby.
ex. 10,000/75823 players in playlist

2. Enter a game and watch the top right corner of screen closely.
ex. 25.0%-0/24 good games
25 potential games found

3. When you enter the game, immediately press circle and up on the D-Pad as if you were going to exit the lobby. This is to back out quickly just in case.

4. Watch the 0/24 good games. The zero needs to remain as is. If it changes to any other number, back out and repeat steps 2 and 3. After a few moments with 0/24, matched players will enter the lobby.

5. After four or more matched players enter, you will be able to see their PSN. Once they are visible, immediately vote to skip map. If to much time passes by and at the top its showing either: finding best host or merging lobby, back out and repeat steps 2-5. If lobby fills and your vote is still there you will be host. Even if vote passes your host.

6. Once match starts, quickly choose your weapon class and if you get a countdown from 14 seconds you are definitely host.

Hope this tutorial has been helpful to many of you. Took me a few try before I got the hang of it. Sorry no screen shots. I'm not a camera man, lol

Many thanks to SWEEZY

You're so cool loll and my NAT type is strict, I've tried every way posted on the web to change it but it will not change for the life of me. :confused:

I have basic internet package. Im not to sure on the excact speed but I think its like 7mb down and 1up. or vice versa. not sure. but trust me it works. it may take 30sec-1min to become host if there are 10,000+ player in playlist.

You are COMPLETELY WRONG. It still depends on your connection. Hell I can't get host even with a lag switch and believe me I know how to do it I tried it in a friend's house and it worked fine with his connection. No matter what it comes down to your connection.

well idk what to tell you. my internet connection is not the best and it works. a friend who showed me how was getting host whil using a lag switch. trial and error and youll get it right. practice makes perfect

i have the best internet connection (if you leave out fiberoptics :p) there is to get where I live..
& still, when i'm playing with friends (who live nearby) i don't get host all the time.. not even a lot.. once i get host, i stay host till i leave :p
NAT is open, my connection is perfect, ...
but still, i'm not host all the time..
i just use the % in clan tag..
make sure your lobby doesn't merge when it looks for players..
as long as it stays on the same map you started on, you should be good to go.. refresh your clan tag every now & then, as it doesn't change automatically..
then there's no guessing, you KNOW if you're host or not

Mine was like 2/moderate or something. But I don't remember how I changed it but hey I use Apple Airport Extreme and changing Nat type was easy lol

Going to give this a go in a min.

very helpful

if your nat is open then this method will get you host, you have just missed a step or read directions incorrectly.

if you follow the tut it will work for you 100% and only take you a few min to do every time.
