    What is up with host migration

    At first i thought it might be my internet connection so i just didnt play online at all until i got my new higher speed internet and now with this new update im having more problems with it than i ever had before. I have lost thousands of XP because most of the time host migration happens half way or almost done a match its quite frustrating

    the trick is to take out the farcry 3 disc, put it in the freezer, (not for too long,) and then heat it up in the oven till it explodes into a million pieces.

    Host Migration occurs whenever the host quits the match, and a new host is randomly selected. This will happen more often at the end of match since many cowardly gamers rather leave a match near the end then take a loss in their stats. The problem on the games end is that when a host migration occurs 1 or more, or all of the other players get booted from the match also. I don't know what causes this. For some reason , i am usually the player that doesn't get booted, and am left to play 2 vs 2.

    It seems to (keyword attempt a migration at total random. Whatever trigger's they're using to spark a migration should probably be toned down a bit and re programmed.

    The biggest problem I'm having with the host Migration is the fact that I can't go 2 games without the host migration kicking everyone in the game, as soon as the host migration screen pops up everyone's names shows up in the top left corner of the screen and says they have all "left game". At first I thought this was just first day jitters, you know some thing a patch could Easily fix, but its been 6/7 Months since this game came out and this **** is STILL happening. Now I love making maps for this game but I'm starting to think what's the point when the Multiplayer sucks.
