[quote name='freshzen']In theory it'd be nice to have a more sophisticated method of deciding a host, but the problem is that a lot of people would never get to host, and people that could afford $100-200/mo internet would almost always get host except for possibly cheating, and there would most likely be even more of that. Really though they should just stop connecting people from different regions of the world. Basically any time the host is in Europe, Asia, or South America I lag.[/QUOTE]
Since Epic refuses to invest in dedicated servers their only other choice is to work on eliminating host advantage and revamp host selection so everyone is playing on a level field with a solid connection. I pray they intend to finally address this problem in the next update. This is the only MP title I have to worry about whether or not my team is host, how bad the next game is going to lag or check to see if my character has even spawned with their weaponry. ;\
