On PC.
If you queue, lets say U/U/P, and there are no hosts, will you be automatically shunted to host? And if so, how is it preferential if queuing at the same time? I'm asking this because I'll U/U/P, and a fraction of a second later I'm hosting with a second player already in a public U/U/P lobby. I didn't volunteer to host for that player and I'm pretty sure unless they're using pOTATOv0.01 they're going to host better than I will.
^ Mgamerz said there is nothing that decided who's host (ie, like who has better connection). It's completely random.

I assume that happens anytime a host leaves a lobby that has other players connecting to it.
I think it's basically migrating the host at the same time as connecting the players, so you don't notice it happening. At your end, it's just the normal loading in screen.
It's been doing that to me on PS3 lately..I will go searching for a gold game, then 10 seconds later I become the host....Maybe it's the time of night I recently started playing at..but it does seem to take a little longer to fill up lobby's.

I'm having it happen consistently but also nearly instantaneously, and repeatedly. I've done it five times in a row where the moment I queue, the loading screen takes less than a second, and I'm hosting. O.o
Maybe nobody in your area of the planet happens to be playing at that time...hence you be doin sum hostin? 
..I dunno,,I still am not sure how this game chooses to connect us with each other. I thought it was by region.
I will sometimes land in a "You have lost connection to the MP lobby" bullcrap.
R U sure that it's only the mp connection that is lost? what's ur reality like ? Cough originIDI will sometimes land in a "You have lost connection to the MP lobby" bullcrap.
I always become the leader if the host disconnects. ALWAYS. No exceptions. Never happened even in 2000 hours of gameplay. Never

When the host leaves, everyone requests a new lobby with a specific ID (I think, can't be totally sure). Whoever gets into this new lobby first is considered the leader. But due to the shoddy netcode half of the players won't make it anyways or you'll join a different lobby the matchmaking server gave you.
