The only other problem I had was with all the drama, people being jerky and stupid. I think if you banned more people from games and RT forums for periods of time then maybe people would learn how not to be douches and play nicely.

Pro Scheduling always sucked and when NH was required it was pulling teeth because no one was ever happy with host or you waited 2 hours for someone and then reschedule. ( Been there too many times. )

Overall, I always liked how the league was run but I preferred one night a week to play 2 games and be done with it.(Without having to wait 2 hours for a host or a team to show up.)

It simply removes any firewall or security restriction between whatever you’re DMZing (typically your Xbox) and incoming traffic from the outside world. There is a reason Bungie recommends an Open NAT. This is one way to do this.

You don’t Improve or give yourself an advantage, rather just lessen possibilities of negatives in match quality. This also usually only applies to when using routers. This is why direct connecting is usually the better option – everything acts like a DMZ since there is no security involved.

Also, your computer is never involved whatsoever with the DMZ as long as you’re only putting in your Xbox’s IP.

I recommend all NH doing this. If ANYONE at all that has no choice and has to use a router wants to port forward, DMZ which is highly recommended, or just anyone that typically has lag issues can contact me on Live (Y0ur3AlrdyD3ad) or RoosterTeeth @ Yeager0486 for help.

Port forwarding/dmz settings are completely normal, and should NOT be considered cheating in any way shape or form. I would have to disable port forwarding every time I played if that was the case since I use port forwarding and uPnP for bit torrents.

If someone doesn’t know about dmz/port forwarding then it’s something they can learn and it shouldn’t ever be frowned upon for someone to use it.

Saying it’s like a pro sports person using steriods is ignorant and just downright ridiculous.

i know that, (although since data is transmitting to your PC, you still run the risk of being attacked by some kind of malicious file. it doesn’t always have to be after CC info) but the whole point of DMZ hosting/port forwarding provides an unfair advantage over players who don’t know about it/don’t know how to use it. that alone is basically grounds for cheating.

Think of it like steroids in professional sports: Just because its easily accessible doesn’t mean it is right to use it.

New teams don’t always know to go to Melvination or Adam. They don’t always know they can reverse a forfeit reported on them for b/s reasons. They don’t always know where to find people to get them back a roster of four or more if needed to play their matches. The knowledgeable need to help guide and coach the new.

Players in matchmaking are always asking about ways of joining league. I like seeing at least our bios giving a general direction to head or recommending whoever to ask you questions or for direction in joining. Grifball.com needs a larger more eye-friendly link about JOINING while the link needs updating.

Seems the only reason people want to abandon NH is because they don’t want to have the least bit of patience in getting a NH. If you don’t like waiting, help your captain find one.

@Calinorte You can DMZ your Xbox’s IP and it will not compromise your computer’s security whatsoever. You shouldn’t need to worry about your xbox’s security since there aren’t any files or credit info people would want. Your credit info is stored on xbox.com if you’ve got cards saved.

In regards to increasing the size of the league…just think if we all would just recruit 1 person. Whether it be a friend or some person you met in matchmaking. If everyone recruited 1 new player the league would literally double in size. Small things like this have huge effects when it has the entire community supporting it.
