    This gametype/map played together tells you who is the connection host.

    Many people ask, Wouldn't the forge quick be quicker. Well i find no. The gametype/map ends STRAIGHT away. The person on 1 point (that wins) is the host. The forge trick requires you to change the lobby to forge. Load it up. (The host test map doesn't need to load if u already have another foundry map loaded.) Then explain to the noobs what to do. Then ask everyone who is host.

    So i find my map/gametype alot quicker.

    NO SCREEN SHOTS NEEDED.

    How the map works.

    Well i set one spawn point outside of foundry, the host always spawns first. So he dies in suicide... he earns a point and the winning point is 1.

    Download Gametype "Host"

    Download Map "Test"


    Oh and btw, i was going to post this to just Forge maps in no category... and ask a admin to pin it. But guys if use like will you move it and pin it?

    Good job! I like to glitch (NOT MOD!!!) and we always need to know who is host. Another way that I find is easy, go into forge and look up turn into the oracle and look up. Then turn back into a spartan and if you are still looking up, you are connection host!

    Yeah, me and Macka always use this to check host. Takes about three seconds. So much better than getting everyone in forge to look up then go in/out of monitor mode >_>.

    I'm sorry if I sound offensive, but I don't see how it's quicker to exit the current map, take time for everyone to load that map and gametype, start it, then find out, when it takes less than two seconds to find out in your current game using the forge mode. Then again, I only usually use the forge trick with 2-4 people, so this would make sense if you were looking for the host in a group of 16 people.

    Well, you say wait for everyone to load the map. When you change from a map say the pit, to another map say foundry. It takes awhile to load. But most forge hubbers would already be on Foundry, and switching from Foundry map to foundry map, takes about 1 second to load. E.g. Distortion to Test.

    Hmm, can't you just load up theater and it will tell you who has the better connection? Like not even start a vid, just enter the lobby.
