What are you talking about you couldn't take host away from us? When you joined us on checkout prematch you asked about it and we said who were you thinking, as in what was their connection and where were they from. There was no direct answer to that and we had to play match so we went and played your host KOTH.

Make you a deal we can either play our next match all your host or all neutral and see how that goes

It seems to me that 90% of the Gears community don't care about West Australians.

This entire argument is a joke. The connection you play on when we host is what we play on every single day. The only host which I have actually liked when played on was Tactical's. And metapod who are these W.A players host you have played on and actually liked? Everytime I have played on W.A host all I hear from the other time is whining about connection.

Well to be fair I have only heard whinging from a few teams/players. Most people seem pretty chill.

What did i just say, This thread is not for you guys to complain about hosts. Its for players willing to neatural host to let the community know. Next person to stray off the topic will get a 12 hour ban

I agree with roguey as this is not the place, besides, you guy's are better than this anyway.

I can neutral host ANY match as soon as I fix the issues with my gears 3 dlc -_-

It was off topic but a resolution can from it, 5 minute host test before matches are played so this whinging doesn't happen anymore.

I don't complain about connections, people complain about ours.

As a suggestion, perhaps players should check their own connection for problems before complaining about others?

Pingtest is a good place to start. Test somewhere close and then far to get a fairly good idea on how stable your line is. Bandwidth isn't everything after all.

^Ping is mostly irrelevant in these. Packet loss and jitter are the main concern.

ping is weird, ive done speedtest tests and got a lower ping to sydney than tauranga before, but when i play sydney/NZ host its obvious which is better. sydney host isnt bad though.

I live in melbourne
