Why So Serious?
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok here are few tips to help you know if your host before an actual game starts.

1)When your in a game lobby and the lobby is counting down 10, 9 etc. It will either say the following before you actual go into a game. "Lauching or nothing. If it says lauching simply back out as your not going to be host. If it does and goes straight into a game it means your host.

2) When in a game lobby the finding best host comes up or it says waiting and suddenly you move position in the list of people in the lobby. You will not be host. If for example your second in the lobby and the finding best host thingy comes up and after it finishes your still in second place then you will be host. If you move position i.e. end of 3rd then your not.

3) To help you have a higher chance of getting host connect your router directly to your PS3 and disconnect anything that uses your internet connection i.e. laptop.


Lol its kinda difficult to explain since I don't have a video.

Do a barrel roll!
Another way to find out is before you choose a game type you can put a space in your clan like this [ $ ]. When the game counts down to begin click your clan tag again and press enter. If you still have the spaces your host if it turns like this [$] your not host. Only the host is able to have a space in their clan tag.

Set 'Force Host'. When set end game. Find the gamemode you wish to play. Look in the top right corner you should see ping counter. As soon as the ping counter searches for games with 60ms ping backout and repeat the steps until you get put into a lobby by yourself. MW2 will never put you into a game that is in progress with a 50ms ping that is why when it hits 60ms in the top right corner you have to back out as it seraches for games that are in progress. It is kind of hard to explain.

When I set my clan tag as [%] it doesn't change until the match has loaded (Am I doing something wrong?

Homes idea with the "Vote To Skip Map" seems to work though Smile Kudos to you sir!
