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.

or when the match starts hurry and press SELECT or whatever alternate on xbox. If you have 4 bars and everyone else has red for the time being, your the mufugin host.

or use the "%" sign as your clan. If you host it'll show . if your not it'll be a "."

if your hosting CL use TheUnkn0wns force host. zOMG works almost everytime.

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!


Be Sure to put % after the host has been chosen, when it says match beginning in 10...9..... etc.

I know just force host or lag you connection so nobody can connect to you, then you will be host. The stop the lag so people can connect.

i use the "%" as well, also if you are the host right before it tries to migrate (when it says "waiting") get ready to flip a lagswitch. as soon as it says mirgrating hosts flip the lagswitch and it wont be able to migrate away from you as it lags everyone connecting to you. making you have the better connection. if it cant connect to them it wont switch. this works about 98% of the time
