As some of you may know... Host means alot, so to make sure we have lag free games, We are starting a Host List, These people on the list would host our events or at least provide lag free gaming for us
Now the one test that I keep coming across is this:
Now to get an idea of your connection test a city that's close and then the farest one away from you
so it might look like this: From New Jersey to New York: Download Speed: 8017 kbps (1002.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 1884 kbps (235.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
From New Jersey to Settle, WA Download Speed: 3297 kbps (412.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 1063 kbps (132.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
From New Jersey to San Francisco, CA Download Speed: 2973 kbps (371.6 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 1019 kbps (127.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Now as far as I know I have never had problems hosting games with as many as 12 people in the room so I would guess anything above 1000 kbps is a good thing..
1)Hoffa 2)Rubber 3)Harri51 4)TBA 5)TBA 6)TBA
If you would like to be added to the list please Copy and Paste you results for the test, One being the close by, the other being farest away..

The internet is a bit messed up at the moment so it should be more soon.
P.S. I don't live in London.

you said forge twice. But I get the analogy and a good one at that.
Black Zethyr 08 Sep : 00:38
Reach isn't a cake, though.
It's a delicious burger.
It's got delicious meat (Campaign), bacon (multipalyer), awesome sauces (Firefight), cheese (Forge), added vegetables (mushrooms, onions... I mean Theater and intense Customization for gametypes and armour), and buns (Sage's beard? I don't know).
It all comes with fries (potential DLC) and a drink (Forge).
Salvanous 07 Sep : 23:30
Yeah, but it's kinda like adding pickles to a cake, I mean sure pickles are good and all but nobody in their right mind likes cake with pickles.
Loscocco 07 Sep : 23:27
Although they are a huge annoyance, why not have them? Thats more to add to the game.
Salvanous 07 Sep : 23:16
sooooo.... why are you guys excited about Drones?! with the fact that the DMR is a one shot weapon it will be a living nightmare for me, of course now with armor abilities this will be somewhat more interesting... *maniacal laughter*
Loscocco 07 Sep : 22:51
Also, Super, thats sorta what I'm trying to say. I know that no one can get to Hoffa's level, but lets just say there is a chance of getting to his position (even though it is at #1 supreme ruler). In a way, it would be like me saying that I am owner of the site when Hoffa really just shares some of his supreme power with me.
Once again, lets just stop. Send me a private message if you REALLY wanna talk about it.
Loscocco 07 Sep : 22:47
Yeah, kinda saddened and glad. It will be good as a challenge, but a pain if its in standard firefight.
Super 17 07 Sep : 22:44
Well, Hoffa kinda owns the site soo, noone can have more power than him
Black Zethyr 07 Sep : 22:41
Drones are confirmed to be in Reach.
Zethyr is glad.
That is all.
Loscocco 07 Sep : 22:22
Super, I'm not trying to hold you down or bash you, but it would be like me telling everyone that I am at Hoffa's level. Although I am the highest rank, I still can't compare to Hoffa's super-human abilities + his power (he actually has more access to stuff than all other Heads), his experience and his authority. Or if I told everyone that I already am a Head Admin while Hoffa was simply considering it. If I did do that, I would have never gotten the role.
I really don't want to get into a discussion on this, especially in the chatbox, but I hope this sorta cleared things up. No harsh intentions though.
Salvanous 07 Sep : 21:17
amen! lololol (sorry Super don't mean to team up, more going on Battle's comment previously)
Loscocco 07 Sep : 21:14
seniority has nothing to do with it...
Super 17 07 Sep : 20:50
says head admin to the guy thats been here longer than him... this is an ironic conversation
Loscocco 07 Sep : 20:32
Yes, but those are the only privileges that you have, not editing other people's posts and having the same authority that mods have.
Super 17 07 Sep : 20:26
Isn't posting news, and updating custom pages a moderator-esk job?
Loscocco 07 Sep : 20:20
technically Super, you are a member that has the ability to post on the front page, not a moderator.
Also, double posting is never a problem here unless you begin to spam somehow.
Salvanous 07 Sep : 17:01
I know, just wanted to make sure double posting was out of the picture to anyone new that may have somehow missed that little detail.
Super 17 07 Sep : 16:59
Double Postings doesn't matter in the chatbox because you can't edit chatbox posts (unless your a mod like me, and delete the post if you mess up while typing )
Salvanous 07 Sep : 16:54
double posting not condoned of course.
